91/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2018 Poujeaux is deep garnet purple in color. It slowly unfurls to reveal warm cassis, black cherries, and mocha, with hints of lavender and bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a great core of generous fruit, with grainy tannins plus bags of freshness, finishing long and savory.

86/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Poujeaux comes bounding out of the glass with youthful scents of crushed black cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles, plus hints of menthol, pencil lead and tobacco leaf. The medium-bodied palate offers just enough fruit and freshness with a chewy texture and dried herbs lift on the finish.

92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2018 Poujeaux has an intense bouquet featuring layers of blackberry and bilberry fruit, a light marine scent and a lingering a patina of oak that still needs time to be subsumed. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, plush and very pliant tannins framing a Poujeaux of impressive volume and grip. Cohesive from start to finish, it shuts down a little on the finish, indicating that this Moulis has long-term plans.
