Château Poujeaux

@Andrew McIntyre, first vintage of Bordeaux I purchased in any quantity were the 1982s — better stuff on futures, and then landed stuff (mostly from the DC shop near the Key Bridge?) — Poujeaux was one of this well less than $100 PER CASE!! (Hell, I bought 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste for $125/case, Cos for $144/6 magnums, etc.) — different wine market in the mid-1980s. With that said, loved Poujeaux, Coufran, La Dominique, Sociando Mallet, GPL, etc. from that 1982 vintage, such bargains and really incredible drinkers!!

I have enjoyed this producers vineyard over many vintage and this might be the best.

The 22 vintage is stunning and as good as it is, 23 might be better based on a somewhat limited exposure at this point.

The entry is glorious…such balance and wire to wire it doesn’t change much.

Green apple, perfect lemon & lime pulp into subtle candy, grapefruit, white stone fruit, kiwi, tropical melons, pineapple, cream reduction, saline, perfect sea fossils, fine powdery taut chalkiness, crisp volcanics, white spice, grey volcanic minerals, limestone marl, mix of fresh & dry stubble herbs, honeysuckle, light caramel, warm lightly done toast, yellow florals, spring flowers with greens, grand waterfall acidity, beautiful structure-tension, incredible balance with an elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and long sets on volcanic minerals and spice.

Decanted 1 hour.

When I first started buying this bottling, it was $50-$60, now $150. Might be my last bought. My white spend has a more limited range than my red. Don’t think I’m alone.

A property Sofia & I have visited in 2015.

Château Brane-Cantenac

Grand Cru Classé en 1855 Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

2021 vintage. Courtesy of @Neil Valenzuela Decanted and tasted after 1 hour. Light medium/medium body. Backing band and structure mainly there. Intro and middle of the song catchy. Last third/finish will round into form in the next 7-8 years. Pretty introduction as we speak. Def beyond above-average producer that strives for (leaner) balance. So young but feel like this will represent that eventually. 12.10.25. — a day ago

Dark gold color. Definitely past prime, I think. Burnt caramel and butterscotch on the nose. Same on the palate with a big wax element. Might benefit from a decant. Waxy texture and long, lingering finish. This is growing on me. — 4 months ago
