  "The 2005 vintage was surprisingly strong for Léoville-Poyferré, which I had tied with Mouton-Rothschild for second place just after Haut-Brion. The blend was 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. Picking began on 26 September with the Merlot and finished on 8 October. The wine was aged in 75% new casks. The ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit showed some well-integrated notes of cedar, smoke, and earth that remain very youthful. The feel on the palate is substantial but very elegant. The tannins are firm and solid but not astringent. The overall impression is one of well-balanced power, and the finish was subtle and long. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040"

  "Extrem dichtes Purpur-Granat. Warmes, delikates Bouquet, Amarenakirschen, rote Dörrpflaumen, ein Hauch Feigen und Kakaonoten, Kokos, komplex, fast buttrig und absolut faszinierend. Im Gaumen mit enorm viel Charme und Souplesse, cremig, gerundete Gerbstoffe, fast schon mit burgundischem Charme, bald schon Freude lachend, und das mehr als 20 Jahre lang."

  "Very clear and translucent with currants, blueberries and fresh mushrooms. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that are layered and beautiful. Together and polished with plushness and beauty. Drink or hold."
