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 elevage, my review will prove conservative.

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 her…

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.
