A deep garnet-purple colour, with a meaty, earthy nose of plums and blackberries and hints of eucalyptus and aniseed. Light, mellow structure with an earthy finish.
Very black coffee on the nose. The wine is dense and quite tannic, with an unusual roundness from Merlot. A chameleon-like wine.
The palate is fruity, greedy, balanced, and offers an acidic frame, juiciness, and tension. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of blackcurrant, blackberry.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, plums, pencil shavings, petals, burning embers and discreet hints of new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered.
Poujeaux 2011, Moulis Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel: dark fruits, smooth tannins, fresh and balanced. Ready to drink.
Medium-bodied with a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins, it has bold fruit matched by freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
A brilliant vintage, made for patient connoisseurs.
The best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. (William Kelley)
