  I continue to absolutely love the 2010 Château Léoville Poyferré, and it certainly ticks all my boxes. This deep purple-hued beauty boasts phenomenal notes of crème de cassis, smoky tobacco, graphite, and leather. With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, and ripe, polished tannins, it brings that rare mix of opulence and elegance and is an utter joy to drink. It needs a healthy decant if drinking any time soon and has another 3-4 decades of overall longevity. Drink 2025-2065."

  The Wine Advocate
  The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years. Another spectacular wine from the Cuvelier family, Leoville Poyferre (along with Ducru Beaucaillou) may be one of the two best wines of St.-Julien year after year these days. This is a large estate, covering nearly 200 acres, and the final blend of the 2010 Leoville Poyferre is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, a whopping 34% Merlot and the rest 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc." Drink: 2013 - 2043.

  A wine of architectural strength and classical proportions, this has straight lines that mark the packed, concentrated fruits, which are sustained by its tannins. This is certainly the best wine that Léoville-Poyferré has produced, sumptuous while so finely structured.!"

  Deep colour, luscious and powerful, has the push and pull of a truly great wine, where you are not exactly sure where you will land but you are fully along for the ride. Brilliant quality, precision, smoke, liquorice, cigar box, cassis, mint leaf etching, rippled with muscle, more Pauillac than St Julien in the 2010 vintage, with decades ahead of it. Great stuff, easily one of the wines of the tasting. 80% new oak."

  Falstaff
  Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe. In der Nase feine Edelholzwürze, mit süßer dunkler Beerenfrucht ausstaffiert, zart nach Nougat und Lakritze, ein Hauch von kandierten Orangenzesten. Stoffig, intensive Brombeerfrucht, feste Tannine, die gut eingebaut sind, dunkle Mineralik, schokoladige Nuancen im Abgang, straff und jugendlich, im Moment noch etwas unnahbar, aber mit guter Süße. Ein großes Versprechen für die Zukunft."

  Decanter
  Intense fruit, perfumed elements with strong wood notes. It's confident and a bit of a show-off, but the fruit and plush tannic chewiness are at the fore, so it avoids overt minerality or leanness, unlike many in the tasting. Has weight and vigour but with freshness and mass appeal. Not so refined, but not harsh either. Cool blueberries and graphite, liquorice elements. Different style to many."

  Weinwisser
  61 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 3 % Cabernet Franc. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Gigantisches Bouquet, Kokos, Cassis, Flieder und ein Hauch Amarena, sehr warme, reife Cabernet-Ausstrahlung. Dichter Gaumen, viel Fleisch und auch Power zeigend, wirkt in der Frucht hier recht frisch und wieder mit verschwenderisch vielen schwarzen Johannisbeeren die in sich reife Kirschen zeigend, im Finale wie eine Droge endend. Es gab zwar auch schon andere Jahrgänge die ich bei der Primeurbewertung mit 19/20 bewertete. So zum Beispiel den 2000er und 2009er. Dieser hier ist aber klar die allerbeste Poyferré-Fassprobe meines Lebens! Auf dem Weingut degustiert und dann nochmals auf der Union des Grands Crus. Ein Hammerwein!!! Wenn Budget vorhanden ist, dann gehört dieser Mammut-Saint-Julien als MUST auf die Einkaufsliste! 11: Im Herbst mit Didier Cuvellier auf dem Weingut degustiert. Ein Wahnsinnspaket, hat sich leicht verfeinert ohne an Kraft zu verlieren. (19/20). 12: Extrem dunkles Granat mit violettem Schimmer. Tiefgründiges Bouquet mit viel Cabernetsüsse, dunkle Röstnoten, darüber ein Hauch Vanillin und verführerisches Kokos. Also zeigen sich momentan noch die Barriquen im jungen Nasenbild. Im Gaumen erstaunlich elegant für einen Poyferre, welcher oft in der ersten Phase recht viele Muskeln spielen lässt, gibt sich schon fast versöhnlich mild, was aber für eine extraordinäre Klasse spricht. Noch nie war ein so grosser Wein dieses sonst meist bullig daher kommenden Saint Juliens so fein gewoben. Vielleicht hatte ich ihn deshalb in der ersten Phase leicht unterschätzt. Jetzt bekommt er einen verdienten Punkt mehr und dies katapultiert ihn in die 2010er Elite."

  The 2010 Leoville Poyferré is a typical wine from this chateau. Deep, dark, tar and rubber like - very heavy and thick This is a wine that just smells of Leoville Poyferré. There is lots of sweet and deep cassis-like fruit and a wonderful nose of dark rubber-like components and liquorish. It all blends together in a very nice and intriguing way. It still has a few years to go before maturity, it does come from the powerful 2010 vintage after all, but the future looks bright indeed."

  Starting to tighten up, there is no doubting the incredible quality of this wine, with all its power, ripe fruit, silky tannins and charm, but it really wants cellaring time before it once again displays all it has to offer. I´d give it a decade."

  Wow. Very intense and aromatic nose with crushed currants and blueberries with hints of nuts and dried flowers. Full body, with very refined tannins and a lovely undercurrent of fruit. Balanced and juicy. Better in 2018."

  Dark fruit, introverted. Oak showing strongly on the nose. Then a fine, elegant density on the palate, with lots of structure and incipient flesh starting to fill it out. Very long, embryonic. (JH)"

  Wine Spectator
  Features a coating of warm cocoa, with notes of solid currant paste, steeped fig and blackberry fruit. The pastis- and graphite-filled finish pumps along, revealing a well-embedded structure that should soften in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2030. -JM"
