The 2002 Léoville-Poyferré has an open nose with dusky black fruit, melted tar and a touch of pencil box; more fruit here compared to other Saint-Julien wines. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins, a touch of blackberry pastilles, tobacco, allspice and light graphite notes towards the Japanese nori-tinged finish. Probably reaching its peak now, but with the substance to offer another 12 to 15 years drinking pleasure. Tasted at the château. 90/100 (04.2022)

The 2002 Léoville-Poyferré has a light and airy bouquet of blackberry, wild hedgerow, raspberry and tobacco, open-knit and not as intense as the previous two vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a tart cherry tinged entry, quite ferrous but balanced, just a little dryness creeping in towards the linear, slightly austere finish. Drink this fine 2002 Saint-Julien over the next 8-10 years. Tasted at the Léoville-Poyferré vertical at the château with Sara Lecompte Cuvelier. 90/100 (06.2021)
