Chateau Pavillon de Leoville Poyferre 2015 (75cl, 12.5%)

A Saint-Julien Bordeaux blend from Château Léoville Poyferré, bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is the estate's second wine, produced from the youngest vines and blended from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The 2015 vintage earned an average critic score of 90/100. After vinification the wine is aged for nine months in third-passage oak barrels, and an underground pipe system moves wine from vat to barrel. The nose shows black currant, blackberry, blueberry and fresh lemon thyme. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-forward, with black currant, blueberry, black tea, olive, earth and tobacco. The finish carries fleshy, velvety tannins, dark fruit and an earthy undertone.
