Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Château Poujeaux has an attractive bouquet with plenty of lovely blackcurrant and raspberry fruit interlaced with cedar and tobacco notes. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip in the mouth, impressive substance and a tightly-coiled, saline finish that suggests this might surpass expectation. It certainly did mine. One to look out for. Tasted January 2016.
Mid crimson. Quite fragrant and only a little dull and attenuated. Perfectly serviceable but nothing exciting. (JR)
Really pretty black. Lightly floral nose, then a bit of savour. Light and then a bit green. Gawky. (JR)
