Chateau Poujeaux (Moulis) 2019 bruno-paillard les Esquierons and les Gallimardes

les Esquierons and les Gallimardes (entirely declassified from the Vieilles Vignes cuvée)

Taste: Warm

made entirely from Tempranillo as a saignee style

The grapes are sorted and destemmed before a long maceration of about three weeks in concrete tank

but bright expression of a Blewitt Springs Shiraz… Subtle complexity

Chateau Poujeaux (Moulis) 2019 bruno-paillard les Esquierons and les GallimardesFull red ruby. Bright aromas of dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and espresso are lifted by a floral high note. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, with excellent energy to the ripe, complex flavors of dark berries, lead pencil and spices. This very fresh wine shows a very firm spine to support a leisurely evolution in bottle without coming across as austere today. An excellent and serious Poujeaux.
