A rich, opulent young red from St-Emilion with black pepper, black fruit and wet earth. Full-bodied, yet intense and focused with a blood-orange and black-truffle undertone. - James Suckling
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Poesia is a little closed to begin, soon opening out to reveal wonderfully pure notes of crushed red and black plums, fresh blackberries and warm cherries with nuances of allspice, aniseed, potpourri and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, featuring loads of mineral sparks and a wicked backbone of freshness, with very fine-grained tannins to support, finishing long and vibrant. - Lisa Perrotti Brown, Wine Advocate
The 2019 Poesia might well be in possession of the best aromatics that I have encountered on this Saint-Émilion. Vibrant and intense blackberry and boysenberry fruit burst from the glass whilst maintaining superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Extremely focused with impressive mineral tension on the effortless finish. Highly recommended. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
Another ripe, sexy wine from the Garcin-Leveque family, the 2019 Château Poesia reveals a deep purple color as well as a great nose of ripe black raspberries, black cherries, chocolate, sappy herbs, and bright, floral nuances. More medium-bodied, elegant, and beautifully balanced, it still has wonderful fruit, richness, and depth. - Jeb Dunnuck
Estate owned by Barde-Haut family in a cooler later ripening spot of St Emilion, this has plentiful peppered spice notes and clear austerity. Dark fruits that feel well controlled by the tannins, with lashings of liquorice, smoked earth and black chocolate. Serious, enjoyable. - Jane Anson, Decanter
