Wine Secret Comment: Chateau Leoville Poyferre 2014 is a representative from Saint Julien. It has a very unique blend of flavors and is well-balanced overall. It is a great red more suitable for gentle and balanced wine lovers as it does not get the most explosive flavors at the beginning but the flavors slowly flow out over time. Great drink and it could be kept for another 10-15 years.

Restaurant Price Range: HKD2500-HKD3800 / 75cl bottle
