Chateau Leoville Poyferre Colleactor Pack, 300 packs only globally Vintage 2004 Chris Kissack, 95 points A great colour here, at its heart very dark still, with a touch of crimson to the rim. Aromatically it is expressive, pure and open, with some classic elements including crushed blackcurrants and damsons, with warmer notes of soot, tar and liquorice, as well as some fragrant nuances of peony and violet. Medium-bodied but full of charm and confidence, with a lightly creamed sense to the fruit on the palate, it comes backed up by an attractive seam of tannins, firm and sooty yet obviously ripe, supple and well-integrated. These give a delightful framework for the finish, supporting the fruit and texture from within and never dominating. A really attractive wine, and bearing in mind the vintage of origin, it is a great success. The Wine Doctor 27/11/2019 Vintage 2005 Yves Beck, 95 points Rouge rubis dense. Bouquet compact, dense. Le terroir ressort bien au premier nez. Le fruit se révèle lentement avec des notes de cerises et de framboises. Je relève également un peu de suite et même de la sarriette séchée. La mise en bouche est ample et dotée de tannins puissants, en symbiose avec la structure. Un vin qui commence ˆ se révéler et qui a un potentiel exceptionnel. Si l'on souhaite le savourer maintenant, il est préférable de le décanter au moins 1 heure. Finale aromatique et persistante. Beckustator 02/02/2017
