Absolutely spectacular, the1990 Leoville Poyferre is much more evolved than either of its two Leoville neighbors. Its opaque plum/garnet color is accompanied by a gorgeous bouquet of smoke, charcoal, creme de cassis, and flowers. Fleshy and opulent, it comes across like a St.-Julien with a Pomerol texture and allure. This beauty has reached full maturity where it should remain for another two decades. Jun 2009

Tasting notes
A deeper, more limpid colour compared to the 1989 with a very different nose much more precocious with succulent black fruits, rose petals, iodine, macerated cherries and a touch of blood orange. Superb delineation and vivacity. The palate is full-bodied, succulent black fruits, mocha, iodine and fresh figs, with a hint of prune developing in the glass. Rich and very expressive although I prefer the delineation on the 1989. Could be a Pomerol on the finish! Excellent. Drink now-2025 Tasted March 2008.
