Leoville Poyferre St. Julien 2012  - First Bottle

Reviews

94-96 Wine Enthusiast -
Barrel sample. This very ripe, full-bodied wine is powered by sweet blackberries and solid tannins. It is a full, concentrated and complex wine that has a great future.
94 Vinous -
A dark, fleshy wine, the Leoville Poyferre 2012 is round, succulent and deeply expressive. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, graphite and lavender are fused together in an effortless, silky Saint-Julien built on texture. Striking and totally beautiful, the 2012 will be ready to deliver its charms early. All the elements are in the right place. This is a gorgeous showing from Leoville-Poyferre. The 2012 is perhaps not an epic wine, but is gorgeous today and should provide considerable pleasure over the next 15-20 years. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot.
94 Jeb Dunnuck -
One of the more stacked, ripe and rockingly textured wines from the left bank, the 2012 Léoville Poyferré sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings and violets. Rich, full-bodied, supple and forward, with low acidity and ripe tannin, give bottles 4-5 years (although it dishes out ample pleasure even today) and enjoy through 2037.

You may have heard Wine Spectator announce its wine of the year on Friday, Chateau Leoville Barton. Today’s missive was a part of the same property as Leoville Barton. Chateau Leoville, until the French Revolution was a single, contiguous property which today is split into three Chateaux: Leoville Barton, Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Poyferre.

Today, having firmly established its own singular reputation, we can say the best wines EVER are being made here right now. 2012s are just coming into a drinking window, so NOW is the time to grab it, especially with fine pricing like we have today.

Jeb puts it well: “One of the more stacked, ripe and rockingly textured wines from the left bank, the 2012 Léoville Poyferré sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings and violets. Rich, full-bodied, supple and forward, with low acidity and ripe tannin.”

We couldn’t agree more. $74.95!! Amazing! ONLY 10 CASES TO SELL!
