89-91 points Robert Parker: "Now under the full control of the Cuvelier family (who has done such a splendid job at St.-Emilion’s Clos Fourtet), the 2008 Poujeaux reveals more depth, richness, and concentration than previous examples. A sleeper of the vintage, its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of red and black fruits, outstanding purity, medium to full body, and supple tannins in the finish. It should drink well for 12-15 years." (04/09) From the Wine Spectator: "Shows a good range of tobacco, briar and black currant flavors, with a tarry hint adding some firmness to the finish, though this is accessible overall. Drink now." (03/11) K&L's notes - *+ 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Elegant wine with sweet, forward fruit. Quite lush. Red fruit flavors dance on the palate. Long finish. This tastes great now. K&L's notes - *+ 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Elegant wine with sweet, forward fruit. Quite lush.
