The 2004 Léoville Poyferré has a slight menthol note on the nose, mainly black fruit with a touch of licorice. It just needs a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a licorice-infused entry. It's done in a modern style (dare I say, typical of Michel Rolland at that time). An opulent finish just misses a bit of bandwidth. A little New World in style?

The 2004 Léoville-Poyferré has a light and airy bouquet with blackberry, antique bureau, forest floor and light fungal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, a little austere but balanced, though I notice some attenuation and bitterness towards the finish. So-so for this estate. Tasted at the Léoville-Poyferré vertical at the château with Sara Lecompte Cuvelier..

Tasted at Bordeaux Index annual 10-year on tasting from an ex-château bottle. The 2004 Leoville Poyferre has a delightful, exuberant bouquet with ripe black plum, blackcurrant, cedar and sous-bois, perhaps more reluctant to leave its primary aromas compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a grippy entry of black berry, cedar and tobacco. There is excellent weight in the mouth and it demonstrates Didier Cuvelier's adept extraction, getting everything from his fruit in a more challenging vintage. This replicates the impressive showings after bottling. Tasted March 2014.

This bottle is showing slightly better than the one served by Didier Cuvelier at the vertical last April. The nose is still showing a lot of unresolved new oak that rather obfuscates at the moment. Too much? Time will tell. The full-bodied palate is very ripe and showy, an opulent Poyferre with a very sweet finish of dates and black cherries. Very assertive and lacking the natural calm of Langoa or Leoville Barton. I am hoping that bottle maturation with allow this Poyferre to mellow. Too flirty! Drink 2012-2025. Tasted November 2008.

A very deep limpid black/garnet hue. The nose has far more fruit concentration than the 2002, with succulent blackberries, blueberries and lots of vanillary new oak (perhaps too much?) The palate is full-bodied, gregarious, exotic for the vintage and its ripeness detracts from a sense of typicity. Very rounded and opulent with notes of macerated black cherries, figs, dates and a touch of Christmas Cake. Trying too hard? Drink 2010-2025 Tasted March 2008.

Along with Leoville Las Cases and a few others, this is among the stars of the appellation. Made in a more floral, supple, Margaux-like style, the deep ruby/purple-hued 2004 Leoville Poyferre exhibits sweet, broad flavors, and plenty of tannin lurking beneath the surface. However, the abundant cherry, black currant, licorice, and smoke notes obscure the tannic clout. This rich, powerful, broad beauty should be drinkable in 2-3 years, and last for two decades.

Bright ruby-red. Very expressive nose offers redcurrant, tobacco, flowers and nutty oak. Supple, silky and pliant but with good energy to its red fruit and floral flavors. Finishes with broad, sweet tannins and a lingering note of tobacco. This remains quite open and appears to be evolving very much like the 2001.

Very clean, with blackberry, currant and light vanilla aromas. Full and juicy, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Impressive despite a slightly hollow midpalate. Wait and see as this grows in the bottle. May be a bit overextracted this year. Best after 2011. 20,830 cases made
