Château Léoville Poyferré 2012 is a Left Bank Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Julien appellation, primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This vintage showcases a darker fruit profile with aromas of black cherry, plum and subtle hints of mocha. The larger bottle size aids in the wine`s evolution, allowing for a gradual integration of its rich textures and flavours. The tannins present as rounded and velvety, supporting the wine`s structure.

Poyferré keeps its generous spirit at 10 years old and has a lovely rich body with raspberry coulis, blackberry and density through the mid palate. The oak majors on grilled cedar and almond, a little dominant and closes things down on the close of play, not quite smoothed out yet suggesting that although you can begin drinking now, it will benefit from another few years in bottle. Harvest October 8 to 19. 80% new oak.Jane Anson30th March 2022

The 2012 Leoville Poyferre is medium to deep garnet colored. It features notes of cassis, blackberry preserves, and prunes with touches of fallen leaves, cedar chest, lavender, and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy, with plenty of black fruit preserves in the mid-palate and a long finish with loads of mineral sparks. It needs time!Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023

The 2012 Léoville-Poyferré has quite an atypical strict bouquet with blackberry, melted tar, graphite and crushed stone aromas. This opens very nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy notes on the entry, fairly saline with good tension, superb backbone and density on the finish. This is very promising, but it may require more bottle age just to smooth out its edges. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.
