Château Léoville Poyferré
Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Julien, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night.
The most soft and plush wine of the night. I’d enjoy these soon as there isn’t a lot of acidity, or tannin, at this 5yr mark. Very ripe. Jammy/fruit forward...fresh squeezed blueberries and blackberries on the nose. Sweetened plum, bacon fat, boysenberry jam notes on the palate. I called this ‘14, Left Bank, St Julien. Thanks @Andrew Heffley .

Very nice St. Estèphe, but the Ch. Moulin Riche '14, at half of this price, is a much better bottle on all fronts.

Probably a little young to realize the earthy notes i seek in a Bordeaux (actually all my wines) but this was a very tastful Tuesday night experience
