Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate#140(4/2002) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2002-2016
A perfumed bouquet of flowers, jammy cassis, sweet oak, and truffles jumps from the glass of this ripe, classic, mid-weight claret. The wine is elegant rather than powerful. It possesses intense fruit, admirable ripeness as well as balance, and a long finish. Enjoy this beautiful, sexy Poyferre over the next 12-14 years. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002) Score: 87
Delicious red. Plenty of plum and blackberry character on the nose. Medium-bodied, with light silky tannins and a delicate, fruity finish. Best after 2003. 20,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Very fruity nose, with a mineral, structured palate. Good weight of fruit. |
