Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

The 1982 Léoville Poyferré has long been one of my favorite Saint-Julien wines, and this does not disappoint. Dark in color, it has a gorgeous bouquet of mulberry, raspberry, melted tar and rose petal aromas, and a little exoticism courtesy of a dab of fig. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and quite dense black fruit that merges with blue fruit in the latter half. There is fine backbone to this Saint-Julien, which reveals cedar and graphite toward the fresh, convincing finish. Bottles are just reaching their peak, while large formats will last many more years. Tasted blind at "Xmas" lunch in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2019)

Yummy Mag. All the stuffing.

Gorgeous and mature

In magnum. Took a while to open up but outstanding

bretty x solid on the palate though

just what an aged BDX should be. tobacco, cedar, spice and length so nice. more please.

My first '82 Bordeaux

At 40 years this is hitting its tops
Took about 4 hrs to open, nice dark colour and mulberry and berry flavours with long lasting aftertaste
Old St Juliens seem so long lasting and mature with grace
