Tasting Notes:

Bright ruby red colour with pinkish trimmings at the edges with medium to long legs. Very warmth vintage especially on the right bank therefore eucalyptus, barnyard and forest floor are prominent with almost no fruits being detected on the nose. Palate are brimming with very well rippen plum, dark prune juice, raisins and black currant. It is a full bodied wine with intense acidity.

It has a fragrant bouquet with delineated red cherries, crushed strawberry and hints of vanilla from the 100% new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, ripe and rounded in the mouth, very well balanced and very smooth.

Tasting Notes:

The resulting blend displays a garnet colour lined by light crimson hues. Pleasing aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants A wine with definition and refinement. Hints of tobacco and chocolate. Full body, super fine and flavorful. Juicy and savory. The walnut and spice on the end is gorgeous. 94-95 JS 

Tasting Notes:

This grand Pauillac property delivers awesome flavours in 2015. You can't help but enjoy this magnificently ripe, sturdy, smoky claret. It has the cedary Pauillac characteristic. The tannins are pleasingly silky, and there is tremendous balance. Creamy blackberries and a precise shape, lead to a fruit-dominant finish hat tingles in the mouth. It needs some bottle age, but it follows the tradition of great wine from this leading estate. It's rich and powerful, but elegant and sweet.

Tasting Notes:

Layered and juicy 2015 with currants, light chocolate and cedar character. It’s full-bodied, round-textured and very pretty. Extremely long and flavorful. So friendly and bright.

Tasting Notes:

It has a typical Léoville-Poyferré bouquet at this stage: quite bullish and forthright, packed full of dense black cherries, red plum and cassis, the 85% new oak pronounced, but will be subsumed with bottle age. The palate is full-bodied with mouth-coating tannin: layers of graphite-infused black fruit, cedar and mint, almost Pauillac-like in personality with a sustained graphite finish. This is a sophisticated Saint Julien built for long-term ageing.

Tasting Notes:

The 2015 Gazin has a perfumed bouquet with layers of black cherry, raspberry coulis and truffle scents, more welcoming and sensual than the wines a decade ago from barrel when they intermittently felt under-ripe. There is none of that here for sure. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit on the entry. There is excellent structure here, a masculine Gazin with plenty of grip, counterbalanced by abundant tertiary, tobacco-tinged black fruit.

Tasting Notes:

This is a classic, elegant wine with a clear, well-designed structure and a long, fresh finish. It shows a lot of black fruits, licorice, violet and wisteria. On the palate, a nice roundness, smooth, charming taste, quite unctuous and fruity.
