19 Da Rene Gabriel
Intensives Weinrot, ganz fein aufhellender Rand, feine erste Reifezeichen. Wow! Powerbouquet, viel Szechuanpfeffer, Tabak, Zedern, dunkle Edelhölzer, kalter Darjeelingtee, gibt sich tiefgründig und zeigt erste Trüffelnoten. Im Gaumen dicht, durch die hoch reifen Tannine wirkt er nicht ganz so burschikos wie anderen Poyferré’s welche ebenfalls im Rennen waren. Die erste Reife ist in Sicht, der Wein ist etwas für Powerfans. 19/20 beginnen

The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre?s low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years. <br/><br/>

Superb. Vivid, with lovely aromas of berries, minerals, toasted oak and leather. Full-bodied, with extremely well-integrated tannins and a long finish. A wine to remember. Best ever from this estate. Best after 2010. 20,000 cases made. ?JS

This has spices, meat, dark and ripe fruits, and a light sultana character. Full-bodied, tight and firm with a beautiful freshness and great length with notes of licorice and citrus skin. Fascinating stuff. Leave this alone for at least a couple of years. Should be better after 2012
