Parker about Château Léoville Poyferré 1983
One of the superstar 1983s that is not beginning to crack up and decline, Leoville-Poyferre's effort exhibits a dark garnet color, a sweet nose of plum liqueur intermixed with licorice, black currants, weedy tobacco, and herbes de Provence. The wine is round, seductive, with a certain degree of opulence, low acidity, gorgeous fruit, and a nice layered palate impression. It makes for quite a seductive style of wine.
