Château Poujeaux--Vintage 2000
Moulis (Médoc), cru grand bourgeois
Tasting Note: A serious red, as one has come to expect from this impeccably run estate, the 2000 Poujeaux exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour, a sweet nose of blackcurrants, minerals, and earth, excellent texture, impressive purity, and a long, concentrated, moderately tannic finish.
