Expect chocolate, dried fruits and fig flavours that are not quite at prune stage; glorious exoticism and hedonism here. The fruit is clearly ripe and exotic, but it does still have a core of freshness that runs through it; the river and the terroir did their job in this vintage. This steals up on you and has real charm and definition. 2% Cabernet Franc makes up the rest of the blend. Drinking now to 2028.

The 2003 Léoville-Poyferré has always been one of this infamous vintage’s success stories. Perhaps in recent years it has lost some of its vigour on the nose with black plum, brown spices, leather and that light Bovril aroma, but there is better delineation than many others. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and quite savoury. It is beginning to show some dryness and little monotony on the finish. I wonder whether its best days are behind it? Still a very decent showing however. Tasted at the Léoville-Poyferré vertical at the château with Sara Lecompte Cuvelier..Neal Martin20th September 2022
