Tasting Notes

Another sleeper of the vintage, this beautifully plump, fleshy, corpulent 2008 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet blue and black fruit, smoke, earth and forest floor characteristics. Medium-bodied with outstanding concentration, purity and texture, it can be drunk now and over the next decade.

Now under the full control of the Cuvelier family (who has done such a splendid job at St.-Emilion's Clos Fourtet), the 2008 Poujeaux reveals more depth, richness, and concentration than previous examples. A sleeper of the vintage, its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of red and black fruits, outstanding purity, medium to full body, and supple tannins in the finish. It should drink well for 12-15 years.

Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. I wanted a bit more from the Poujeaux 2008 that tasted fine out of barrel. Here, it comes across as very conservative on the nose: dry with cigar box and sous-bois aromas, strict and linear. The palate is medium-bodied, a little coarse in the mouth, a touch dry and sour towards the hard finish. Tasted January 2012.
