James Suckling
A rich, opulent young red from St-Emilion with black pepper, black fruit and wet earth. Full-bodied, yet intense and focused with a blood-orange and black-truffle undertone.

The 2019 Poesia is a real beauty. Pliant and seductive in the glass, with striking depth, Poesia is absolutely gorgeous in 2019. Plush fruit and soft curves give the 2019 so much pure appeal. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and licorice all meld together in sumptuous Saint-Émilion that will drink well right out of the gate. Sweet floral notes resonate on the effortless finish. Tasted next to Barde-Haut, Poesia offers a touch more freshness. (AG)

Another ripe, sexy wine from the Garcin-Leveque family, the 2019 Château Poesia reveals a deep purple color as well as a great nose of ripe black raspberries, black cherries, chocolate, sappy herbs, and bright, floral nuances. More medium-bodied, elegant, and beautifully balanced, it still has wonderful fruit, richness, and depth.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Poesia is a little closed to begin, soon opening out to reveal wonderfully pure notes of crushed red and black plums, fresh blackberries and warm cherries with nuances of allspice, aniseed, potpourri and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is tightly wound, featuring loads of mineral sparks and a wicked backbone of freshness, with very fine-grained tannins to support, finishing long and vibrant. (LPB) 92-94+

Vibrant and intense blackberry and boysenberry fruit burst from the glass whilst maintaining superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Extremely focused with impressive mineral tension on the effortless finish. Highly recommended." (6/2020)
