Critic Scores
The 2021 Léoville-Poyferré is classy and polished right out of the gate. All the classic Poyferré
signatures come through, but in miniature. The 2021 impresses with its pliant fruit, silky
tannins and fine balance. To be sure, the 2021 is a smaller-scaled wine than the norm here
over the last few years, but that is the charm of this vintage. Inky dark fruit, pencil shavings,
licorice and menthol build into the super-expressive finish. Tasted three times. (AG)
