{"product_id":"chateau-leoville-poyferre-saint-julien-2010","title":"Château Léoville-Poyferré, Saint-Julien 2ème grand cru classé 2010","description":"\u003cblockquote\u003e‘The wine outdistances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years. Another spectacular wine from the Cuvelier family, Leoville Poyferre (along with Ducru Beaucaillou) may be one of the two best wines of St.-Julien year after year these days.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e98+\/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate \u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘Rich and round with cinnamon, anise and black pepper. Luxuriously silky texture, very much the signature of the property, sitting perfectly against the fresh kick of the vintage. One of the few 2010s that has maintained its violet edging around the rim of the glass, suggesting that it has decades ahead.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e97\/100 Jane Anson, Decanter, June 2020\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘Opulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry and orange peel follow through to a full body with round, creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. A big, significant wine that is starting to open and come around. A long life ahead of it.

Pure class. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, layers of pure black fruit laced with pencil lead and a pinch of white pepper. It fans out wonderfully towards the finish, a Saint-Julien demonstrating wonderful density and precision. What an outstanding wine, perhaps less flamboyant than other vintages, one that will last decades.

Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and the balance Petit Verdot, its inky purple color is followed by a massive, full-bodied, incredibly concentrated 2010 that has awesome notes of pure crème de cassis, licorice, graphite, and spring flowers. As with the 2009, it has incredible depth of fruit, yet a slightly more focused, classic style, which is very much in the style of the 2010 vintage. With its new oak completely absorbed by its wealth of fruit, perfect balance, and sweet tannin, it’s a sensational, monumental effort to drink over the coming 3-4 decades.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e99\/100 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘A wine of architectural strength and classical proportions, this has straight lines that mark the packed, concentrated fruits, which are sustained by its tannins.
