The tasting note for 1981 Chateau Leoville Poyferre St Julien is from Robert Parker - Consistently perplexing to judge, the 1981 Poyferre has adequate tannin and acidity, a soft, jammy, mid-range, and a short finish. Surely a good wine with 4-5 years of evolution ahead of it, but certainly not one of the leading St.-Juliens in 1981.
