  "In an opulent style, this wine is full of ripe fruits and generous tannins. Juicy acidity gives it a fresh lift typical of the year, although this wine has a depth of flavor that promises well for its development. Drink from 2022."

  "A sleek and racy 2013 with mineral, blackberry and currant aromas. Subtle and perfumed. Medium body, silky tannins and a clean finish. Drink or hold."

  "The Cuvelier family managed to produce quite a nice wine in this very difficult vintage. The tannins have a soft, ripe quality to their texture, and so does the fresh, black cherry and dark plum fruits. Give this 2-4 years and should be even better."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2013 Léoville-Poyferre has a lovely nose with simple blackcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, maintaining Didier Cuvelier´s more opulent style while retaining delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with gently grippy tannin, good acidity and structure, not complex but with a very impressive blackberry and cassis finish that lingers in the mouth. Chapeau Monsieur Cuvelier - one of the best Saint Juliens this vintage."

  "65 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 26 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 3 % Cabernet Franc. 34 hl/ha. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Sehr würziges, von Cabernet geprägtes Bouquet, schwarzer Pfeffer, Lakritze und dunkle Beeren, mittlerer Druck. Im Gaumen mehr stoffig als fleischig, eine tolle Aromatik vermittelnd, die Tannine sind körnig und haben Charakter. Ist wie ein ganz grosser Jahrgang, nur mit etwas weniger Druck. Ein solider Wert, der heuer ein paar Pauillac-Premiers hinter sich lässt und für mich der beste Saint Julien ist. Kaufen – wenn der Preis stimmt!"

  "One of the top wines in the vintage is unquestionably the 2013 Léoville Poyferré, which has more purity, texture, and depth than most. With medium-bodied richness, lovely notes of cassis, smoky oak, and violets, moderate tannins, and notable purity and finesse, it’s ideal for drinking over the coming decade or so."

  Wine Spectator
  "Shows good energy, with a vibrant, brambly spine that drives the plum cake, steeped currant and licorice flavors along. A solid bolt of singed apple wood pins down the finish. Best from 2017 through 2023. 12,894 cases made."
