Poujeaux Vintage:1997 This wine will not make

This wine will not make old bones

Spectacular aromas of blueberries and cassis lead the way

Overall this is fantastic and should effortlessly reward longer-term cellaring yet be approachable after only 5 or so years

Lots of black olives and wet earth under the fruit

Poujeaux Vintage:1997 This wine will not makeThis well known estate is now owned by Clos Fourtets Philippe Cuvelier, but the estate was owned by Jean Theil when the 2005 was conceived. This 2005 reveals a beautiful black cherry and cassis scented nose, with a touch of spring flowers, medium to full body, and supple tannin in a sexy, lush, heady style. A sleeper of the vintage, it is already approachable and satisfying, and can be drunk over the next 10 15 years.
