  Jeb Dunnuck
  The flagship 2019 Château Léoville Poyferré is based on 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot. It's one of the bigger, richer wines in the vintage and has a gorgeous, thrilling, full-bodied style as well as notes of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, violets, and chocolate. While many estates seem to be playing it safe and focusing on so-called elegance and balance, I love that Poyferré continues to make a ripe, sexy, beautifully textured wine that always offers more opulence and sexiness than most in the vintage. Ranking with the crème de la crème of the vintage, this gorgeous Poyferré can be enjoyed any time over the coming 40-50 years. Bravo!"

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  One of the top vintages of Leoville Poyferre, the wine sports a beautiful dark color in the glass. The showy nose opens with black and red fruits, espresso, cocoa, tobacco leaf, smoke and floral aromas. On the palate is there the wine shines with its multiple layers of sensuously textured, deep, ripe, dark red fruits, plush, polished tannins and its multi-layered, lusciously-textured, long, vibrant finish. This will age and evolve for decades with little trouble. Drink from 2027-2055."

  This is big-shouldered, with plenty of sculpted, carefully-extracted tannins. Layer upon layer of savoury and mouthwatering cassis and bilberry fruits, showing their creamy texture only once things relax in the glass. Teasingly gourmet notes of liquorice, black chocolate, slate and charcoal play alongside the fruit. This is a seriously impressive Poyferré, where the drama builds slowly and promises a long life ahead. Juicy on the finish. Harvest September 22 to October 11. 80% new oak. The 100th vintage for Léoville Poyferré under the Cuvelier family. Tasted blind (along with the rest of the St Juliens) and it stood out as exceptionally good quality."

  So aromatic with real complexity of notes on the nose, perfume and black fruits. Quite tannic on the palate, broad-shouldered with a core of liquorice-edged black fruit, dark chocolate and slate giving it quite a serious, gourmet and savoury feel right now. Lovely poise though, with mouthwatering freshness. Feels well made with energy and elegance. A standout wine with plenty on offer. Drinking Window 2027 - 2045"

  Wine Spectator
  Throws off gorgeous warmed plum, blueberry reduction and açaí berry compote aromas and flavors, laced with ganache and sweet tobacco from start to finish. Delivers ample structure in the guise of a cold cast iron note buried underneath the showy fruit, with a flash of violet for treble in the background. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2040. 15,000 cases made."

  The 2019 Leoville Poyferre is composed of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the glass with bold notions of baked black plums and boysenberry preserves leading to notions of cassis, cedar chest, and menthol. The medium to full-bodied palate is light on its feet, with nuanced black fruits and plush tannins, finishing long with a skip in its step."

  Falstaff
  Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife schwarze Waldbeeren, Heidelbeeren, zart nach Lakritze, Nougat und Kokos, feine Edelholzanklänge, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, Brombeeren und schwarze Kirschen, integrierte, präsente Tannine, lebendiger Säurebogen, dunkles Nougat im Nachhall, noch eine Spur unterentwickelt, wird von Flaschenreife profitieren."

  The Wine Advocate
  The 2019 Léoville Poyferré is showing very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis and wild berries mingled with notions of licorice, loamy soil, cigar wrapper and smoke. Full-bodied, velvety and polished, it's broad and enveloping, with an ample core of fruit, ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a long, precise finish. Invariably the most sumptuous of the three Léovilles, featuring some 35% Merlot, the 2019 is a terrific effort that will offer a wide drinking window."

  Weinwisser
  Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte mit lila Rand. Konzentriertes Bouquet mit reifen Brombeeren, dahinter rote Pflaumen, ein Hauch Zimt, Lakritze und Burley- Tabak. Am vielschichtigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und engmaschigem Tanninkorsett, man spürt das Lagerpotenzial, trotzdem bewegt sich das Schwergewicht leichtfüssig wie Muhammed Ali im Ring. Im gebündelten Finale mit schwarzen zerstossenen Beeren, tiefgründiger Terroirwürze und Wacholder. Gratulation zu dieser Top-Leistung!"

  Blackcurrant, wet-earth with fresh black-mushroom aromas. Some chocolate, too. Full-bodied with layers of beautiful, ripe fruit and creamy tannins. It’s chewy and focused. Impressive balance. Try after 2025."

  Inky crimson. Seductively dark and rich aroma, ripe but not sweet-smelling until it starts to open in the glass. This has great depth of pure dark fruit but also quite a muscular structure, and all in balance. A big wine but balanced and so fresh."
