Tasting notes
Blackish ruby. Evolved rim. Attractive evolution and tertiary aromas (unlike many of the seven 1995s and 1996s tasted alongside). Classic development and some racy, refreshing acidity. Dry finish but appetising. Tannins receding fast. (JR)

Very dark blackish crimson. Very light nose. Well-mannered classic stuff but an Australian would call it skinny. Fine tannins. Serve to French or Belgians… light weight. (JR)
A very good wine, with grip, tannin, medium to full body, and excellent ripeness, this unevolved, backward yet promising Poujeaux needs cellaring. There is some mineral-tinged, sweet black currant fruit in both the aromatics and flavors. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015.
Gorgeous aromas of crushed berries, cinnamon and plum. Full-bodied, very silky and very seductive. Wonderful wine.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. 27,830 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007
