“The 2019 Poujeaux has a very delineated, focused bouquet of blackberry, cedar, mint, and light tea leaf scents, one of the most complex I have encountered from this great estate in recent years. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, vibrant and grippy, with slightly chalky tannins and a saline, persistent finish. Quite structured and broody, this Moulis deserves ample time in bottle. 2027 – 2055” 94pts Neal Martin, vinous.com, February 2022
