Tasting notes
This wine proved to be more irregular than even Lafite-Rothschild. The most recent tasting in December revealed a spicy, cedar, good but uninspiring, tannic Medoc. Previous bottles have exhibited impressive extract levels, but bottles tasted over the last 7-10 years have been tough and hard, displaying the more negative characteristics of the 1975 vintage.

About the producer

Ch. Léoville-Poyferré is a Second Growth Saint-Julien property that was once part of the same estate as Ch. Léoville Barton and Ch. Léoville Las Cases. It has the most complex and varied soils of the three and produces the most voluptuous, seductive style of wine.
