The 2020 Dutruch Grand Poujeaux has a refined bouquet that has learned some manners since I tasted it from barrel, more refined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins, quite sappy in the mouth with a very satisfying, graphite-infused, minerally finish. This Moulis has evolved nicely in barrel and it should turn into a delicious 2020.
The 2020 Dutruch Grand Poujeaux is a very pretty wine. Sweet floral accents and a kick of blood orange give the 2020 terrific energy to play off a core of bright, red-toned fruit. Medium in body and aromatic, with fine persistence, Dutruch Grand Poujeaux is beautifully done. Readers will find a wine of understatement and finesse. Give the tannins 2-3 years to soften.
A round, soft, nicely textured Moulis, the 2020 Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux offers up-front cherry and mulberry fruit, medium-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and complex spice, chocolate, and tobacco aromatics. It’s solid, and I’d certainly drink a bottle.
