Tasting notes
The 2022 Poesia has retained its impressively delineated, limestone-influenced bouquet. It's quite marine-like, with a touch of oyster shell infusing the black and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure that supports the layered black fruit. Hints of graphite are derived from the 30% Cabernet Franc. This is a classy but long-term Poesia that deserves three or four years in bottle.

The 2022 Poesia is rich and effusive, just as it was en primeur . Black cherry, plum, mocha and espresso build into a sumptuous Saint-Émilion with gorgeous textural breadth. Time in the glass opens the aromatics nicely.
Offering up aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums, framed by sweet new oak, the 2022 Poesia is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a lively core of fruit, chalky tannins and a saline finish. Given this late-ripening limestone site's naturally low pH, I tend to think that even less would be more with regards extraction, but this is nevertheless a strong effort.
Lots of graphite and purple fruit with salty and lavender undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, fine and beautiful. Excellent length.
