1962 Château Léoville-Poyferré

Much of the Leoville-Poyferre vineyard was replanted in 1962, and while the young, infant vines may have been the reason for some of the lackluster wines produced in the late sixties and early seventies, they had nothing to do with the mediocre 1962. Light, overly acidic, with some redeeming fruit flavors, this light- to medium-weight wine should be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 9/77.
