A bright and beautiful wine with flowers, blackcurrants, violets and hints of citrus. Medium body and fine tannins. Racy and pretty. 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc. - James Suckling.
An estate that continues to produce brilliant wines in every vintage, the 2021 Château Poesia offers a terrific perfume of black cherries, raspberries, and spring flowers, with a beautiful sense of chalky minerality on the palate. Medium-bodied and very much in the style of the vintage, it has wonderful balance, supple, ripe tannins, good freshness, and a great finish. It's going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet have 15 years of prime drinking as well. - Jeb Dunnuck.
The 2021 Poesia unwinds in the class with aromas of rich berries, cassis and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tightly wound, with powdery tannins and a taut, mineral profile, it reflects the thin soils and late-ripening conditions of this sector—as well as a blend that includes fully 30% Cabernet Franc. Expect it to flesh out and unwind with further élevage. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate.
The 2021 Poesia is a firm, closed Saint-Émilion endowed with quite a bit of energy and sheer power. Dark fruit and brooding shades of gravel, spice, menthol and licorice give Poesia its distinctive personality. The tannins are a bit imposing at this stage. Élevage will be crucial here. - Antonio Galloni , Vinous Media.
