2015 vintage. Note that Haut de Poujeaux is not the second wine of Château Poujeaux (that is called "Salle de Poujeaux"), but a wine originating from 3,5 hectares outside of the Moulis appellation, carrying the Haut-Médoc AOC. Only 20000 bottles are produced, compared to 250000 of Poujeaux and 80000 of Salle de Poujeaux. This 2015 is made from 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon and it's absolutely delicious. Very elegant, medium-bodied with supple tannin that makes it already enjoyable now. Terrific value at 18 euro.

Ripe plums. This is in such a good drinking place right now. 4 more bottles on hand so this may be a fun one a year bottle to try during the NFL playoffs.
