2004 Château Léoville-Poyferré, Cru Classé St-Julien

Very intense in the glass with floral-edged, dark-berry fruit and a pure, sweet note of ripeness. The palate reveals a soft, fruit-laden attack and glorious depth, with layer upon layer of sumptuous fruit. Beneath the fruit there is an assertive, underlying structure but with more than enough substance to balance out. A long-term effort a grand vin in the truest sense.
