Tasting Notes

65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot. A great wine to drink today. It has the gourmet exoticism typical of the vintage, delivered with a clear, smoky, sexy oak flourish. Ready to enjoy now.

Score: 90

Jane Anson, Decanter.com Maturity: 2017-2028 13 March 2018

On the plump, almost jammy side, with friendly plum cake, fig sauce and ganache notes backed by more modest grip on the tar-tinged finish. Drink now through 2018.

Score: 88

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2012-2018 31 March 2012

Beautiful nose of blueberries and minerals with hints of flowers. Full body, with a lovely core of fruit and a silky finish. From the owner of Leoville Poyferre. Try after 2018.

Score: 92

James Suckling, - Maturity: 2018+ 15 February 2012

Aromatic, with raspberry and currant character that follows through to a medium body, with good fruit, firm tannins and a simple finish. Second wine of Léoville-Poyferré.

Score: 86 - 89

James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2010

Even darker than the 2010. Extremely opulent nose - super-ripe! Heady, nearly Californian. Sweet start. Very lush. Wallow in it!

Score: 16+

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2014-2020 12 May 2011

Excellent aromatics of super ripe fruit. In the mouth opulent ripe fruit, medium body, very flattering texture and a spicy warm finish.

Score: 89 - 92

Albany Vintners, - 01 April 2010

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 7% Petit Verdot, this has a very ripe, somehow rather airy notes that seems to float along the ether. Mouth-coating tannins, very ripe and rounded, quite opulent with a touch of spice, dark vibrant black fruits interwoven with black plum and cassis, leading to a well-defined, peppery finish. Very fine. Tasted March 2010.

Score: 89 - 91
