Reviewed February 2019Stunning nose of cassis, plum and bitter chocolate. Real concentration and a great balance of ripeness, fine tannins and bright acidity drive the complex finish along at an astonishing clip. Delicious now, but will hold.

One of the best value 2009s that you can find in terms of its ability to deliver signature Moulis-Médoc character without having to wait too long or think too hard. Dark brambled fruits, tannins that are now soft and melted, with layers of cigar box, mint leaf, crushed stones and saffron. Even better out of magnum if you can find it, no need to wait to drink but plenty to enjoy.(JA)

Pretty tobacco, damp earth, cedar, leafy herbs, and darker fruits all emerge from the 2009 Château Poujeaux, a rich, medium-bodied, impressively concentrated Moulis. With rocking mid-palate depth and sweet tannins, drink this totally seductive 2009 over the coming decade.

Int'l Wine Cellar
Bright ruby-red. Cassis, blueberry, graphite and smoky oak aromas are lifted by a floral element. Broad, rich and enveloping, with a restrained sweetness to the pliant flavors of dark berries, spices and graphite. Layered, minerally and long, with firm, building tannins coating the front teeth. Really splendid density and texture for Moulis wine, and a great vintage for Poujeaux. This large chateau, among the finest properties in Moulis, was purchased in 2008 by Philippe Cuvelier, who also owns Clos Fourtet. The same team of manager Nicolas Thienpont and enologist Stephane Derenoncourt was responsible for superb 2009s at both estates. (ST)

One of my favourite inexpensive 09 Bordeaux bottlings. Classic, elegant, lovely purity of fruit. Accessible now but will also age for two decades plus.
