Vinous: 93 Points
The 2021 Léoville-Poyferré, which was bottled in early June 2023, has a generous bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry, hints of incense and eucalyptus scents that become more pronounced as it opens in the glass. After five minutes, a touch of melted dark chocolate emerges. The palate is beautifully balanced. This is velvety smooth with impressive underlying tension, not the most powerful or extravagant Léoville-Poyferré, yet it delivers impressive persistence and a sense of control on the finish. This bodes well for the future.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2021 Léoville Poyferré opens in the glass with notes of minty berries, dark berry compote, pencil shavings and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and dense palate that's quite muscular and extracted, built around a chassis of sweet, abundant tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish. This will require a bit of patience.
