Tasting note
Château Léoville Poyferré's 2009 Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon should offer cassis, black cherry and cedar, with a savory herbal accent. The palate is expected to be ample and finely structured, ripe fruit surrounded by mature tannins and enlivened by steady acidity. Its peak period reaches 2041, while the full drinking range continues through 2050. The finish should be persistent, gradually revealing spice and earthy tones beneath the dark fruit.
