The 2019 Poujeaux exudes terrific energy and tension from start to finish. Dried cherry, tobacco, mint, chocolate, dried flowers, mint, cedar and tobacco are all beautifully delineated. The aromatics are quite expressive today. There's a ton to enjoy here. Give the 2019 a few years in bottle first, though. Tasted two times. 01/2022

The 2019 Poujeaux has a very delineated, focused bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint and light tea leaf scents, one of the most complex I have encountered from this great estate in recent years. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, vibrant and grippy, with slightly chalky tannins and a saline, persistent finish. Quite structured and broody, this Moulis deserves ample time in bottle. 12/2021

A fleshy, dramatic rendition of this Moulis benchmark, the 2019 Poujeaux unwinds in the glass with a deep bouquet of blackberries and plums mingled with subtle hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and seamless, with succulent acids, powdery tannins and a long, expansive finish. This has turned out brilliantly and numbers among the real sleepers of the vintage. 04/2022

Je lui accordais ma meilleure note en Primeurs. C'est confirmé ! Couleur sombre, intense et profonde. Superbe nez complexe, pur, légèrement fumé et noble. Minutieux dès son entrée en bouche, avec un corps allongé, mais charnu, le vin caresse le palais offrant une sensation de plénitude inconnue jusqu'alors. Très longue finale aux saveurs multidimensionnelles. Une grande réussite et un nouvel Outsider. 02/2022

Very attractive chocolate, red-chili and cedar aromas and flavors. Lavender, too. Medium body with firm, polished tannins and a caressing finish. Pretty texture to this. It will be ready sooner than some. Try after 2024. 02/2022
