This wine is the 2008 Château Poujeaux. Moulis-en-Médoc Gironde, France. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merot and 4% Petit Verdot.
Onnthe nose there is pungent aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, stewed plums, black currant, licorice, juicy tobacco, cedar, smoke and earth.
On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper, licorice, dried herbs and earth.
This wine is full bodied but for its age still very young medium + acidity and medium + firm astringent tannins that gives you a long black fruit wood earthy finish. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, good wine consumed and time spent with family and friends. Have a great week ahead and stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

From a bottle with lower neck fill and a fairly loose cork, my hopes weren’t too high for this well-known 1986 Moulis. Sure enough, it was quite tired and certainly past its prime drinking window, but it had no faults and opened up nicely on the night, revealing a delicate, charming claret that suited well to roast pork.

Jan 24th, 20222019 vintage. A strong effort for this estate, bought in 2008 by the Cuvelier family (Clos Fourtet, Grandes Murailles, Côte Baleau). Much more intensity and complexity compared to the 2015 tasted alongside (but maybe I should try another bottle of the 2015). Cassis, flowers and lead pencil. Medium-bodied, juicy and fresh with very good mineral length.

Oct 4th, 20212015 vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon 49%, Merlot 42%, Petit Verdot 7% and Cabernet Franc 2%. Needs time to open up. Mineral nose with Pauillac-like lead pencil, but could do with a bit more fruit. Medium-bodied, a bit severe in the mouth (maybe it's the bottle?), lacks charm, and no match for the 2019 tasted alongside.

Incredible young CP, still a baby. Huge potential. By-the-case buy.
