The first year that Poyferre carried out some green harvesting - and as this wine now nears its 30th birthday, it is tasting wonderfully. Smokey tar notes, soft tannins and a clear tertiary flavour of mushroom and truffle. You can sink into this with great pleasure: it's a hedonist's wine, but without being in any way too much. There is a menthol note, but less than in other Medocs; instead it focuses on soft truffle, wild strawberries and liquorice. Drinking range: 2017 - 2032 Rating: 95 Jane Anson, Decanter (Jul 2017)

This wine has a dark ruby color, sweet notes of cola, black currants, earth, herbs, and vanilla. The wine is medium-bodied, with some noticeable tough tannin and a lean, angular finish. The wine’s aromatics show far more evolution than the flavors. Nevertheless, this wine pales in comparison with the sensational 1990 and the other vintages of Poyferre from the mid-nineties onward. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018 Rating: 88 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Nov 2011)
