Château Leoville Poyferré 2008

An excellent wine from this tricky vintage. Lovely ripe black fruits, a very pure expression of St-Julien, with ripe cassis and classic cedar and tobacco notes. There are some savoury hints on the palate, accompanied by lots of blackberry compote, dark cherry fruit and firm elegant tannins.
