...absolutely gorgeous. Fresh, vibrant and full of energy... Sweet red-toned fruit, rose petal, mint and chalk lend understatement to the classy, mid-weight Saint-Julien.
This shows focus and precision with currant, dark-berry and basil-leaf character on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied...and precise.
...medium to full-bodied, ripe, sexy effort that has powerful notes of cassis, blackcurrants, graphite, and dried soil, with maybe a hint of tobacco...bright yet integrated acidity, beautiful fruit, and building tannins...
...very opulent, ravishing bouquet...palate is very smooth on the entry with succulent black cherries and black plums, a smear of vanilla and a gentle grip on the minerally finish.
This sports a fresh and pure profile, with a lovely beam of cassis, blueberry and raspberry fruit flavors, carried by light-handed toast and anise accents...finish has a tug of bramble for energy...
Heady nose. A little soft and flabby... Drying finish.
2nd wine of Leoville Poyferre
