Has an old school heart to it, as is so often the case with Poujeaux, then opens deftly to show richly textured brambled blackberry and loganberry fruits, waves of cocoa-dusted almonds and liquorice root, acidity pretty high on the finish.

The 2022 Poujeaux has a succinct bouquet with touches of black fruit, gravel, seaweed, iodine and a light marine influence. It is very well defined and quite understated. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and fine tannins fanning out on the finish. It's a little Saint-Julien in style. This classically styled Poujeaux will age well in bottle.

The 2022 Poujeaux is quite the powerhouse. A burst of dark red/blue fruits, cedar, pipe tobacco, incense, new leather and licorice saturates the palate. Dense, potent and explosive, the 2022 is certainly not a shy wine. It captures the essential qualities of the year in its interplay of opulent fruit and energy. I would prefer to cellar the 2022 for at least a few years. There's a lot of wine here. Tasted two times. Score: 94 Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2028-2052 Date: 28 January 2025 |

The 2022 Château Poujeaux is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but includes 42% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. A big, rich, almost massive Listrac, it sports a dense purple color, impressive notes of black fruits, chocolate, and crushed stone, medium to full-bodied richness, and a great finish. It might be the most impressive Poujeaux I've ever tasted. Tasted twice. Score: 91 - 93 Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com Date: 10 May 2023 |

The 2022 Poujeaux offers up aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated palate that opens with a velvety attack, segueing into a firmer, more austere mid-palate and finish that depress my score. If this rounds out with élevage, my review will prove conservative. Score: 88 - 90 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 28 April 2023 |

A medium-bodied red with crunchy fruit and tight tannin structure. Juicy acidity coming through. Chewy and solid at the end. Closed and pretty tannins. Score: 94 - 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 04 April 2023 |
