Producer notes for Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2015: The color shows transparent deep garnet color with purple highlights. An aroma of black and red fruit is noticeable. Upon aeration, the aromas intensify even more which reveals crème de casis along with lush toasted notes. The tannic structure is powerful, plump and generous which gives way to a singular freshness. An elegance that is a characteristic of Saint-Julien. At the finish, dense ripe black fruit with a hint of vanilla shows. A vintage that shows great complexity – one of the great vintages of the state.
