Wine Critic Reviews
The 2013 Léoville-Poyferre has a lovely nose with simple blackcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, maintaining Didier Cuvelier's more opulent style while retaining delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with gently grippy tannin, good acidity and structure, not complex but with a very impressive blackberry and cassis finish that lingers in the mouth. Chapeau Monsieur Cuvelier - one of the best Saint Juliens this vintage.

The 2013 Léoville Poyferré has more concentration on the nose than the Barton, with brambly red fruit mixed with leather and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with a relatively sweet entry. There is an underlying sour cherry note here. It's candied on the finish, but it does miss the estate's signature depth and complexity. Drink now. Tasted at Bordeaux Index's 10-Year On tasting.
