Tasting notes
The 2019 Pavillon de Poyferré comes across a little too oaky at the moment, masking some of the fruit profile. Some Asian spice aromas emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, gritty texture, quite peppery with good weight on the finish. This bottle just lacks a bit of finesse compared to others tasted. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Some subtle colour shading. Spicy topnote. This is a cool customer that seems to have a good constitution, even if it is relatively middle of the road. Could be GV . (JR)
The 2019 Pavillon De Léoville Poyferré is another great second wine in the vintage and has a great bouquet of black cherries, mulberries, spicy incense, and sappy, floral nuances. With medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, it offers terrific complexity, supple yet present tannins, the freshness and elegance of the vintage, and a great finish. It will evolve for 15+ years or more.
The 2019 Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré offers up attractive aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with subtle hints of licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, it's a juicy, fruit-driven second wine with a fleshy core and melting tannins. This is a nicely balanced, uncomplicated second wine which will offer delicious drinking on release.
