  Vinen lukter og smaker av mørke bær, tobakk, mokkabønner, lyse skinnhansker og litt sedertre og vanilje. Fløyelsmyk i munnen med fin balanse mellom frukt og syre. Nesten som om vinen har litt tyggemotstand, og den har fin og fast struktur. Lang, sammensatt smak.

  0,375ml bottle of 2015 Chateau Poujeaux Moulis en Medoc bought at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris in 2023 and drank on December 22nd 2023.
  
  Poured small tasting glass and decanted the rest of the wine in a carafe for 3 hours or so.
  Wine is quite opaque, ruby in colour with about 0,5cm lighter on the rim/edges showing ≈5-10 years of development.
  
  Initially on the nose the aromas are that of a classic left bank Bordeaux red wine blend, which include aromas of dry cassis, pepper, wood and vanilla.
  During the first hours the wine is astringent, leather, spicyness and a little bit of dry cassis on the back, the wine finishes dry and tannic.
  After hours of developing, the wine shows almost red berry like freshness when served slightly chilled. Slight strawberry jamminess and cassis, pepper and round earthy leather.
  Wine is dry, complex and full-bodied with medium+ tannins.
  
  91p. has potential to fly for decades in the cellar!
  Hoping to come across a full bottle some day in the years or decades ahead!

  Really enjoyed this wine. Cassis, Leather, tobacco and a whiff of smoke. Silky mouthfeel with just enough body to provide depth here.

  PNP. This note is per a glass saved for the following day. Rustic Black cherry. Round and slightly creamy in the mouth. Cocoa. Earthy notes just beginning to appear. Dusty tannins. Good acidity. Hint of licorice on the finish.

  Needs a good decant to open up, and has a very attractive nose of violet, leather, black currant, black berry, tobacco and just the ever so slightest hint of bell pepper. Also a passing whiff of horse stall. The palate, though, is very structured. Chewy tannins, pretty rocky feeling, and the fruit isn’t as forthcoming as it was on the nose. I would say it’s at the beginning of its drinking window, but would be better with more bottle age, 5 years or so more, at least.
