A red with a tight palate of dark fruit and spices plus chewy tannins. Medium body, integrated tannins already and a chewy finish. Solid. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

Supple-edged, with pretty notes of fresh earth, mulled plum and incense weaving together, showing subtle persistence on the finish. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Dark purple. Great polish and ripeness on the nose. A broad, palate-filling wine that's not too sweet and finishes with very appetising dry tannins. Just slightly inky and demanding on the finish. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2025-2035

The 2016 Poujeaux is fabulous. Rich, deep and beautifully layered, it has a level of pure intensity I don't recall seeing in the past. Succulent red/bluish fruit and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable finesse. Racy and succulent to the core, yet still very much medium in body, the 2016 delivers the goods. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. This is a terrific showing from the Cuvelier family and winemakers Stéphane Derenoncourt and Julien Lavenu. Don't miss it. Tasted two times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
