I have for sale one bottle of Chateau Leoville Poyferre 1982.
There is no question that Leoville Poyferre was not making wines at the level of quality they have since 1990. That said, the 1982 is a great wine, no doubt because of the vintage rather than the winemaking at that time. A brilliant effort, it boasts a dense purple color as well as a sweet, flowery bouquet revealing plenty of creme de cassis, plum, and cherry notes, stunning concentration, a boatload of power, sweet tannins (the sweetest and easiest to taste among the St.-Juliens), and a long finish. Although close to full maturity, it has at least 20-25 years of life remaining.
Score: 95 Robert Parker
Wine Advocate 95 points - "Tasted at Pebbles/Zachy’s 1982 dinner in Hong Kong. After a misfiring bottle last year, this bottle of Didier Cuvelier’s Saint Julien hits the ball out of the park. It has a scintillating mineral-rich bouquet with blackberry, fresh raspberry and leather. It is opulent yet brilliant controlled. The palate is lively with crisp tannins, plenty of lively black fruit with subtle ferrous notes with a hint of chestnut. There is a solidity to this Leoville Poyferre: very structured but married with the exuberance and joie-de-vivre typical of this estate. Tasted again three weeks in Basel with consistent notes, this continues to be one of the Left Bank’s finest contributions to the vintage and possibly, somewhat overlooked. Tasted November 2012."
