Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2012
94+ Points - Wine Enthusiast
Sweet blackberries and solid tannins power this very ripe, full-bodied wine. It is a full, concentrated, and complex wine with a great future.
94 Points - James Suckling
Really beautiful now with blackcurrant, licorice, and red-berry aromas, following through to a full body with layers of fine tannins and a beautiful finish. It's really starting to drink nicely. Drink or hold.

One of the more stacked, ripe, and rockingly textured wines from the left bank, the 2012 Leoville Poyferre sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings, and violets. Rich, full-bodied, supple, and forward, with low acidity and ripe tannin, give bottles 4-5 years (although it dishes out ample pleasure even today) and enjoy through 2037.
