Chateau Poujeaux 2010

FALSTAFF: "Sehr dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe; etwas verhalten, dunkles Beerenkonfit, tabakig, feinwürziges Bukett; Kirschen, Cassis."

ANTONIO GALLONI: "Full red-ruby. Bright aromas of dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and espresso are lifted by a floral high note. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, with excellent energy to the ripe, complex flavors of dark berries, lead pencil and spices. This very fresh wine shows a very firm spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle without coming across as austere today. An excellent and serious Poujeaux."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Love the fruity and chocolate character here, with lots spices and nutmeg. Full and velvety with soft tannins and a long finish."

WEINWISSER: "Tiefes Purpur. Fast parfümiertes Fruchtbouquet, Fliedernoten, Cassis, Kokos und Damaszenerpflaumen. Im Gaumen von feiner Eleganz und sensationeller Balance, seidige Tannine. Wieder ein genialer Poujeaux, der es als Bourgeois locker mit wesentlich teureren Grand Crus aufnimmt."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Solid, chunky wine, with a fine juicy element showing through in the aftertaste. It has weight, structure, a dense texture, and balance."

WINESPECTATOR: "Creamy-textured, but not lush, as a charcoal thread keeps the enticing plum sauce, blackberry coulis and steeped currant notes from being too flattering. A singed cedar note holds the finish together, while an alluring smoky edge lingers. Drink now through 2022. 3,000 cases made."
