Chateau Leoville Poyferre, 2004

A standout in the appellation, the 2004 Leoville Poyferre shines with a more floral, supple, and Margaux-like style. Deep ruby/purple hues introduce a wine with sweet, broad flavors and underlying tannins. Abundant notes of cherry, black currant, licorice, and smoke add complexity, overshadowing the tannic structure. Dense, almost dusty tannins complement the big fruit, providing a fresh and balanced profile, accented by blackberry flavors.
