1996 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
The 1996 vintage from Château Léoville Poyferré, produced in the appellation of Saint‑Julien within Bordeaux, is considered a classic, structured Left Bank wine that has aged gracefully. Typically Cabernet Sauvignon–dominant with supporting Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it now shows mature aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and dried flowers. On the palate it is elegant and fully developed, with softened tannins carrying flavors of cassis, leather, earth, and subtle spice, finishing long and savory. Widely praised by critics and often rated in the mid-90s, it is regarded as one of the stronger wines of the 1996 vintage and is currently at peak maturity, though well-stored bottles can continue to drink beautifully for several more years.
