A mature Bordeaux from a classic vintage, Château Léoville Poyferré 1983 showcases the estate’s finesse and aging potential. From the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation, this wine offers a beautifully evolved profile, with tertiary notes now leading the bouquet and palate.
Tasting Notes:
Brick garnet in color, with aromas of dried tobacco, cedar, leather, and earthy forest floor, supported by dried blackcurrants and hints of graphite. The palate is elegant and soft, with resolved tannins, subtle acidity, and a lingering finish of spice and dried fruit.
Condition: Well-stored bottles can still offer a graceful, nuanced experience. Recommended for seasoned collectors or Bordeaux enthusiasts seeking a taste of history.
Food Pairing: Roast lamb, game birds, aged cheeses, or mushroom-based dishes.
Serving Temp: 17–18°C | Decanting: Recommended 1–2 hours before serving
Khor –
1983. Leathery and earthy, slightly dusty. Spicy pyrasine and plums in the mouth. Drinking quite smoothly at this stage, losing a bit of acidity. Would drink now.
