Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2003 Awards:Robert Parker 96/100 Falstaff 95/100 This elegant Syrah opens withThe wine's deep, dark ruby red colour, is not quite opaque. Dark fruit aromas on the nose are ripe, but quite restrained. The dark fruit on the palate has some ripe cassis character, but the tannins have bite & the structure is firm & currently lacks suppleness. Acidity is fine & alcohol is balanced but the fruit closes up on the mid palate.
