  "Sehr dunkles, sattes Purpur-Lila, rubiner Rand. Noch verhaltenes Bouquet, viel Kirschentöne, Flieder, floral, mit einer tollen, tief schürfenden Terroirwürze darunter. Eleganter Gaumen, extrem feine Gerbstoffe, wie bei vielen grossen 2006ern, Kraft und Länge zeigend. Ein grosser St-Julien, nahe bei 19/20."

  "Great quality, classic but a little less generous at this point in its life than the 2005 that precedes it. Liqourice root, raspberry leaf, smoked earth, cassis, bilberry, all those tight smooth-skinned high-acidity autumn fruits. Great potential, and sings its St Julien tune to perfection but remains a little austere right now. Harvest September 21 to October 7. 80% new oak."

  "Beautifully dense, this generous, rich wine combines great fruit with a firm but sweet structure. The new wood element is still prominent, but this is now beginning to blend well with the ripe fruit. To finish, the tannins reassert themselves."

  "Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Léoville Poyferré has one of the most harmonious and complete bouquets from Saint Julien: very well-defined blackberry, briary and chalky scents, real focus and delivery here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, ripe tannin matched with well-judged acidity. Like the 2006 Léoville-Barton, it is stubborn and backward, but there is clearly harmony and focus on the finish, the new oak deftly assimilated in the fabric of the wine. This is a lovely wine from Didier Cuvelier. Tasted January 2016."

  "Deep crimson with garnet rim. Lovely, dark, spicy cassis with just a hint of cassis leaf. Dark and very slightly floral. Upright, dry and long-limbed, savoury and dark and long. Tannins are still quite chewy/chalky but rounded and there's good freshness. Some fine cigar-box notes."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Chewy tannins, crisp fruit and the structure to age, the wine is tannic and clearly demands time before its firm, Cabernet Sauvignon character can soften and come together. Give it at least 5-10 more years, or a few hours in the decanter before popping a bottle."
