18 Rene Gabriel
58 % Ca, 30 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 6 % Cabernet Franc. 32 hl/ha. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Herrlich florale Cabernetwürze, rote und blaue Kirschen, dahinter zeigt auch etwas Pfeffriges mit einem Hauch Sommertrüffel und gewissen Teernuancen. Viel Fleisch im Extrakt, tolle Konzentration, fein körnige Textur, mittlerer Druck. Also diesmal wieder zurück zu Klassik findend.

This property, which has been on a qualitative tear over the last generation, has produced one of the most successful wines of 2011. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it is broad, rich, medium to full-bodied and dense. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as lots of concentration, silky tannins, and a bigger, richer mouthfeel than any of its St.-Julien peers. The result is one of the stars of the vintage.

Shows a warm charcoal note from the start, backed by melted fig, crushed blackberry and steeped black currant fruit. A strong graphite edge pins down the finish. Dark in profile, but defined and well-suited to mid-term cellaring. A very solid effort. Best from 2016 through 2026. –JM

The 2011 Léoville Poyferré has a ripe bouquet with blackberry, boysenberry, graphite and pressed flower scents. Quite open and more fruit-driven than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite fine tannins and satisfying weight. Touches of black pepper and cedar line the finish, though here, it just misses a bit of tension and Poyferré's trademark amplitude. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Château Léoville Poyferré
Produttore di Saint-Julien di lunga data, Château Léoville Poyferré è oggi tra i tre grandi Super Seconds di Léoville. Di dimensioni relativamente contenute, questa tenuta crea vini imponenti sulla Sponda Sinistra, che negli ultimi decenni hanno fatto molti passi avanti in termini di qualità. La Maison è di proprietà della famiglia Cuvelier dal 1921, tuttavia la tenuta non ha registrato cambiamenti importanti fino all'arrivo di Didier Cuvelier negli anni '70. Didier assunse il famoso vigneron Michel Rolland e insieme trasformarono Poyferré in una meravigliosa cantina, che compete facilmente con le migliori di Bordeaux. Lungo l'estuario della Gironda, lo Château si trova tra le denominazioni Margaux e Pauillac su terreni ghiaiosi di sabbia e argilla. Oggi il vigneto di 80 ettari e le strutture di vinificazione appena rinnovate rappresentano il perfetto equilibrio tra retaggio e modernità. Poyferré è un'espressione primaria del suo terroir, un vino solido e di grande struttura. Questo Grand Vin è piacevolmente accessibile rispetto ad altri rossi della Sponda Sinistra. Il secondo vino, Moulin Riche, ha una qualità simile per il suo valore.
