Poujeaux 2010 (750ML)

92-93 JS / 91 WS / 91 VM / 90 WE

Love the fruity and chocolate character here, with lots spices and nutmeg. Full and velvety with soft tannins and a long finish. - James Suckling

Dark and enticing, with a subtle smoky frame around the core of mulled plum, black currant and blackberry fruit. The long, graceful finish is inlaid with flecks of charcoal, black tea and singed sandalwood. Best from 2014 through 2022. 25,000 cases made. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

Full red-ruby. Bright aromas of dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and espresso are lifted by a floral high note. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, with excellent energy to the ripe, complex flavors of dark berries, lead pencil and spices. This very fresh wine shows a very firm spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle without coming across as austere today. An excellent and serious Poujeaux. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

89-91 Solid, chunky wine, with a fine juicy element showing through in the aftertaste. It has weight, structure, a dense texture, and balance. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
