Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2010 (6 Bottles/OWC) (RP 94, WS 93)

  Red Wine from Bordeaux, France

Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Léoville Poyferré opens with notes of sautéed herbs and pencil shavings on the nose, giving way to scents of redcurrant jelly, baked plums and cedar chest plus a waft of cassis. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has pleasant energy and well-played, lightly chewy tannins with compelling freshness on the finish.
