This highlysophisticated effort seems quite supple as the firm tannins are hidden by the abundant sap but make no mistake

Comprised of roughly 85% Grenache and the rest Syrah and other permitted varieties

Is this the best vintage since 1990 or perhaps 1978

Leoville Poyferre other_regions This highlysophisticated effort seems quiteNot one to put away and age, but there is lots to enjoy here now. It has polish, well delivered red and brambly fruits, persistency and gloss. Oak is a touch more evident than in most years because the fruit is not at full ripeness. As with many 2013s, this offers good potential for drinking over the next decade but no further. 3% Cabernet Franc makes up the rest of the blend.
