Classic notes of left bank Bordeaux. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Initially a sweet palate but after a few hours, restrained, balanced and a little dusty and herbaceous. Very fine tannins - totally resolved and seamless. A classy wine - the 2nd wine of a leading First Growth from a good vintage. — a year ago
This 5+ year vintage is nicely balanced. On the classic California Cab style side, it paired very well with steak on the grill. June 2025. — 19 days ago

2020 vintage. A single 20 hectares vineyard within the Léoville-Poyferré estate. The name was used for the second wine Léoville-Poyferré, but it became a Saint-Julien in its own right in 2009. The 20 hectares vineyard is planted with an unusually high percentage of Petit Verdot. This 2020 is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 23% Petit Verdot. — 2 years ago
So dark and rich, almost sweet with vanilla, plum, and clove. Rich and deep. — 12 days ago
Haven’t had a CRU for awhile. At Rutherford Grill and a friend ordered this bottle and we didn’t have much and she didn’t want it so I took it home. Wasn’t impressed at the restaurant but the second night at home it really shined! — 8 months ago

2014 vintage. Mid-palate conundrum currently and waiting for it to resolve/head to respective corners. Medium body. Give it another 3-4 years. Usual V29 style evident at the start and finish but a bit of a blood clot in between. 06.11.25. — 16 days ago
