In every respect, this is still a very young wine with a tremendously long and fruitful life ahead of it. Deep, bright, youthful colour; excellent fruit and great depth of flavour, superripe and concentrated yet avoiding parody. On first pour it seemed just too young, but with roast beef and a rich sauce, it came into its own. Outstanding.

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. Drink 2020 - 2044.
