WTN Request - Ch Leoville Poyferre

[Billy M]

Daniel hi,
Do you have the 2002, 2003 kosher versions of the above?

[Daniel Rogov]

Bill, Hi....


Following are my most recent tasting notes for the wines in question.

Rogov

Chateau Leoville-Poyferre, St.-Julien, 2002 (Kosher Edition): Dark garnet, full-bodied, with soft tannins and spicy wood integrating nicely to reveal currant and berry fruits and, in the background, pleasing undercurrents of spices and licorice. Best 2007-2011, perhaps longer. Score 89. K (Re-tasted 27 Apr 2005)

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, St.-Julien, 2003 (Kosher Edition): The non-kosher edition of this wine is one of the stars of the 2003 vintage and this kosher edition, while not at that exalted level, is well worth considering. Full-bodied, with good concentration and with its firm tannins starting to integrate and opening to reveal ripe currant, black cherry and purple plums, those on a background of toasty oak. Long and generous but needs time. Best 2009-2015. Score 91. K (Tasted 22 Dec 2006)

Menach, Hi....


Following are my latest tasting notes for the wines in question.

Rogov

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, St.-Julien, 2001 (Kosher Edition): Deep garnet red in color, medium- to full-bodied, with soft, nicely integrating tannins and generous aromas and flavors of plums and spices, those on a nicely spicy background. A long, blackberry finish here. Best drinking 2004 – 2009. Score 88. K (Re-tasted 22 Sep 2003)

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, St.-Julien, 2000 (Kosher Edition): Not quite up to the superb standards of the non-kosher version but an enviably made wine. Full-bodied and well-balanced with firm tannins and spicy wood integrating nicely now. On the nose and palate blackberries, currants, chocolate and garrique, all leading to a generous and mouth-filling finish. Best from 2007-2015, perhaps longer. Score 92. K (Tasted 11 Jan 2003)

Menach, hi - I'm guessing you saw the same internet retailer with the flight of Leoville?
