Score 85/100 · Drink 2021-2023, Neal Martin, Sep 2022

The 1987 Léoville-Poyferré is just about holding in there: simple and monotonous on the earthy nose, the palate offers better weight than you would expected with a ferrous finish. However, this wine is going nowhere, so best drink bottles sooner rather than later. Tasted at the vertical tasting with Didier Cuvelier in 2009.

Magnum . A bit green and woody on the nose, reflected on the palate. Refined but drying. (JH)
