  The 2012 Leoville Poyferre is medium to deep garnet colored. It features notes of cassis, blackberry preserves, and prunes with touches of fallen leaves, cedar chest, lavender, and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy, with plenty of black fruit preserves in the mid-palate and a long finish with loads of mineral sparks. It needs time!"

  One of the more stacked, ripe and rockingly textured wines from the left bank, the 2012 Léoville Poyferré sports a deep ruby/purple color to go with terrific notes of crème de cassis, graphite, lead pencil shavings and violets. Rich, full-bodied, supple and forward, with low acidity and ripe tannin, give bottles 4-5 years (although it dishes out ample pleasure even today) and enjoy through 2037."

  Poyferré keeps its generous spirit at 10 years old and has a lovely rich body with raspberry coulis, blackberry and density through the mid palate. The oak majors on grilled cedar and almond, a little dominant and closes things down on the close of play, not quite smoothed out yet suggesting that although you can begin drinking now, it will benefit from another few years in bottle. Harvest October 8 to 19. 80% new oak."

  Really beautiful now with blackcurrant, licorice and red-berry aromas, following through to a full body with layers of fine tannins and a beautiful finish. It’s really starting to drink nicely . Drink or hold."

  This is definitely at the start of its maturity curve, as it is such a pleasure to drink today. Medium-bodied, soft, supple, sweet and bright, the wine is on the classic side with chewy tannins, crisp red fruits, herbs and peppery spices in the finish. The wine blends 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot."

  The Wine Advocate
  Owned by the Cuvelier family since 1920, this property over the last 20 years has made some great wines in the Médoc. The 2012, a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, is opaque purple, thick-looking, and from bottle much more impressive than it was from barrel. This very extracted, rich, full-bodied, masculine Léoville Poyferré needs a good 5-8 years of bottle age and should evolve well for at least 20-25 years. Loads of blackberry and cassis, crushed rock and graphite notes are present in this medium to full-bodied, impressively concentrated and pure wine. Forget it for a while, as this is one of the bigger, richer Médocs."

  Very deep crimson. Intense nose and very smooth texture. Quite a standout! Lots going on there and a really exciting finish."

  Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, zart balsamisch unterlegtes dunkles Beerenkonfit, ein Hauch von Cassis, zart nach Nougat. Gute Komplexität, etwas Lakritze und Brombeeren, gut integriertes Tannine, schokoladiger Touch im Abgang, verfügt über Reifepotenzial."

  Wine Spectator
  A solid, muscular version, with a slightly chewy feel along the edges, while the core of steeped plum, anise and blackberry paste waits in reserve. Reveals ample graphite details on the finish, with a warm fruitcake note chiming in. Just needs some cellaring to lose the burly edge."

  Dense purple-red, well-concentrated ripeness, with 2012 greenness to be absorbed as it ages, good wine, good future."

  Weinwisser
  62 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Rauchiges Bouquet, viel Zedernholz, Grafitnoten, rote Pflaumenschalen, dominikanischer Tabak und Pfeffermehl. Im Gaumen verlangend durch seine griffige Adstringenz, die Tannine gleichen fast mehr einem Saint Estèphe denn einem Saint Julien, viel mehr Kraft als Charme. Das wird hart mit dem Alter. Braucht Zeit und auch etwas Hoffnung. Die Barriques werden beim weiteren Ausbau sicherlich noch etwas gewünschtes Fett in den Wein bringen."
