The 2015 vintage, the magic of the number five. The number 5 keeps its promise. Everything in 2015 contributed to the making of a remarkable vintage. This vintage displays a brilliant, deep garnet color with purple highlights. This expressive Saint-Julien is bursting with aromas of red and black fruit. Upon aeration, these enticing aromas intensify, revealing crème de cassis accompanied by lush, toasted notes. Powerful, plump, and generous, the tannic structure gives way to a singular freshness that brings a lot of elegance, characteristic of a great Saint-Julien. Dense ripe black fruit echoes through to the finish, accented by a hint of vanilla. This beautiful vintage shows magnificent complexity, placing it among the great vintages of the estate. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc & 6% Petit Verdot.

96 Points, James Suckling: "A rich and intense red with blackberries, tar and spices. Black tea and blueberries. Full-bodied, very layered and multi-dimensional. Very long and flavorful. Such great texture. A dynamic and superb red. Drink in 2023." 2/18

97 Points, Antonio Galloni, Antonio Galloni: "The 2015 Léoville-Poyferré is spectacular. Inky, dense and explosive, the 2015 possesses off the chart richness, with soft contours, no hard edges and exceptional balance. All the elements are simply fused together. inky blue/purplish fruit, chocolate, new leather, blueberry jam, exotic spice and violet notes are all beautifully delineated throughout. Fresh, vibrant and totally sexy, Léoville-Poyferré is one of the wines of the vintage. Don't miss it! Tasted two times." 12/17

95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2015 Léoville Poyferré is a delightful Saint-Julien that instantly has you smitten. Vivacious red fruit, briary and orange pith aromas unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins (like before). It is very harmonious and poised with a finish that just sashays along without a care in the world. Wonderful. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index." 02/25
Wine Advocate
94 Points
94 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Leoville Poyferre is deep garnet-purple colored with a nose of grilled meats, baked plums, crème de cassis and baker's chocolate with nuances of dusty soil and iron ore plus a hint of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, very firm and muscular in the mouth, it is built like a brick house with a mineral-tinged finish." 02/18
Wine Spectator
95 Points
95 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "Dark plum cake, blueberry reduction and açaí berry fruit tilts this to the exotic side of the ledger, with warm ganache, melted black licorice and tar notes providing the spine through the lush finish. Displays some serious latent grip, so there's no rush despite the showy fruit. Best from 2022 through 2040. 18,439 cases made." 03/18
