Dark crimson. Very rich nose, thick and sweet. More modern than classic in style. Competently made. Quite chewy on the finish. Chestnut flavours, Good mid palate but wait awhile. (JR)

Opaque purple-colored, with moderately high tannin yet excellent sweet black currant fruit, this medium-bodied, well-structured, muscular, densely packed Poujeaux will require 7-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2015.
