Château Léoville Poyferré's 2002 displays great richness and depth as this estate continues its run of sensational wines since the 1990s.

Château Léoville Poyferré produces some of the softest, most supple wines in Saint-Julien, although in the last decade or so, they have put on more weight and body. This second growth offers relatively good value-for-money in top Bordeaux growth terms.

"…very lifted, well-defined nose with blackberry, raspberry, earth and tar. Good definition. Autumn leaves. It has a ripe entry on the palate; chewy middle, solid, firm tannins, bright black fruits, redcurrant and cedar. Nice focus on the finish-discernibly good winemaking here but it needs more time." eRobertParker.com

"During the 1990s and early years of the 21st century quality has truly been in the ascendant, and it seems clear that Poyferré is again producing the standard of wines of which it has always been capable." winedoctor.com
