Château Léoville Poyferré 2014 Saint-Julien (75cl)

A 2014 Saint-Julien red from Château Léoville Poyferré, in a 75cl bottle. Saint-Julien sits between Margaux and Pauillac, and its wines usually land in between too: Cabernet Sauvignon leading, but with a polished middle rather than sharp edges. A 2014 like this still has plenty of road ahead. Give it an hour in a decanter and it will keep changing in the glass. Cabernet-led Saint-Julien typically leans towards cassis, dark plum and cigar box, usually with fine-grained tannins and a long, dry finish.
