2009 Chateaux Poujeaux

[TheEngineer]

If I keep this up, i'll be taking on all the 09's well before they should be. I'll call this an exploratory run.

Great vintage from a known chateau who gives great value. And it delivers. This wine opens up explosively, with the removal of the cork, the nose is immediately there for all. Deep dark fruits on the nose, but oak is still up front (not enough time to fully integrate), th slight herbs and currant on the nose. On the palate, the wood does come to a bit more of the forefront but what a nicely ut together bottle. Super nice texture, velvety on the palate, if but a bit shorter than I wanted. But it has all the goodl marks of a good bordeaux
