Tasting notes
Given the listless management that Poyferre was under during this period, it is a wonder that the 1966 turned out as well as it did. Now fully mature, this medium-bodied, stylish wine has good black currant fruit, a complex, yet restrained bouquet of cedar and spices, and a good crisp, clean finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 9/84.

About the producer

Ch. Léoville-Poyferré is a Second Growth Saint-Julien property that was once part of the same estate as Ch. Léoville Barton and Ch. Léoville Las Cases. It has the most complex and varied soils of the three and produces the most voluptuous, seductive style of wine.
