Bottle served just after opening. Evolved Bordeaux nose with leather, tobacco, undergrowth, and plum. Palate completely integrated, fresh with smoky notes. A very beautiful Poujeaux, delivering the pleasure of Bordeaux classicism! Rated 94-95.

Fine Wines SG - Bordeaux 1985 Grand Cru Discovery Pack (Fine Wines SG): Medium garnet with browning fading edges, with visible thickness and extraction. Aromas of spur black cherry, chives, and dried hibiscus flowers, some fresh cut grass, and a seemingly dark minerality, that of pencil shavings. Tannins resolved, and medium weight, with tart black cherry and paprika, then pepper, nutmeg, cedar, rose, and tar. Quite a length and pretty complex

Past its prime but enjoyable nonetheless. Color is still vibrant; cinnamon spiced nose with some dark berry and graphite; flavors of plum, fig, spices. Tannins are faded but acidity is still all there. More old than aged but still hanging on.

Pale garnet in color. Orange peel, red plum, dry fig, kirsch, preserved fruits, black pepper, juniper, tobacco, antique cedar, cinnamon. Vivid acidity, plush tannins. Long finish of Seville oranges, dried cranberries and cigarbox. Fully matured at this point, this wine has reached the apogee of its maturation and will not age further. Drink now if you have it.

Still holding well, Poujeaux is one of my go to moderately priced Bordeaux wines.
