The 2022 Poujeaux offers up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that opens with a velvety attack, segueing into a firmer, more austere mid-palate and finish that depress my score. If this rounds out with élevage, my review will prove conservative.

A medium-bodied red with crunchy fruit and tight tannin structure. Juicy acidity coming through. Chewy and solid at the end. Closed and pretty tannins.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Cassis, schwarze Kirschen, Cabernet-Bukett, feine Kräuterwürze ist unterlegt. Gute Komplexität, dunkle Beeren, Nugat, feste, tragende Tannine, Röstaromen im Abgang, besitzt Länge und Potenzial.
