Château Léoville Poyferré 2004 presents a complex profile indicative of its prestigious St-Julien origins. This vintage combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, resulting in a wine that displays dark fruit character, with notes of blackcurrant and plum. Subtle hints of tobacco and earth complement the fruit, adding depth. Tannins are present but well-integrated, supporting a lengthy finish. Established in the 17th century, this estate has a reputation for meticulous vine management, contributing to its consistent quality. Best enjoyed now but possesses the structure to age for several more years.
