Lot #170. Leovillé Poyferré 2009

Description: Consists of 3 Magnums, 1.5L
Score: 100 RP.
"One of the more flamboyant and sumptuous wines of the vintage, this inky/purple-colored St.-Julien reveals thrilling levels of opulence, richness and aromatic pleasures. A soaring bouquet of creme de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol. Displaying fabulous definition for such a big, plump, massive, concentrated effort, I suspect the tannin levels are high even though they are largely concealed by lavish amounts of fruit, glycerin and extract." Wine Advocate #199, Feb 2012
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
