Chateau Léoville Poyferré 2014 6 Pack

95 POINTS

James Suckling

A ripe, generous and substantial wine for this appellation with some real concentration. Plenty of beautiful currant and blackberry character, as well as a solid core of ripe, dusty and velvety tannins and enough acidity to carry the long, savory finish. A beauty. Better in 2024.

Stephen Brook - Decanter

The nose is bold, ripe and fleshy, showing more oak than the Léoville Barton, though it is far from overdone. Rich, dense and flamboyant, very concentrated and intense. It’s fleshy and forthright, spicy and complex, and has a long finish.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

The wine is concentrated with tannins that come from both the firm fruit and the wood aging. It is packed with blackberry flavors that come through the structure strongly. The velvet texture (that is just a hint at the moment) is going to bring out the richness of this wine produced with consultation from Michel Rolland. Drink from 2024.

93–95. Barrel Sample. While the wine does have an austere side, with dark tannins and intensely fresh acidity, it also has plenty of ripe fruit notes. It has just a hint of extraction at the end that needs to soften out.

A ripe, generous and substantial wine for this appellation with some real concentration. Plenty of beautiful currant and blackberry character, as well as a solid core of ripe, dusty and velvety tannins and enough acidity to carry the long, savory finish. Slight lean now. Better in 2024.

Wine Spectator

Very pure, with a beautiful beam of violet and plum sauce carried by a chiseled graphite spine. Gorgeous anise and roasted apple wood notes are inlaid seamlessly on the finish. Shows ample grip and drive. Rock-solid.
