Moulis en Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2005 vintage showing beautifully today from half bottle with impressive freshness and relaxed posture. Instant aromatic attack- powerful bouquet of violets, chocolate, sweet black fruit, cigar box spice, whipped cream. Soft polished tannins, juicy black fruit and black cherry compote, blueberry pie, chocolate and creme de cassis. Succulent, fleshy and zaftig blend displaying some lovely Merlot character. Tartrates build at the end- decanting recommended to reduce the tannin buildup towards the end. I’ll happily put a couple more of these in the cellar.

A prototype red Bordeaux in my opinion, perfect time to drink it now, good fruity nose with leather and Graphit, medium body, red fruits, good acidity, medium finish and a mouthwatering wish for the next Glas

Best Poujeaux I’ve tasted so far! Sun dried tomatoes, clove, white pepper. All kinds herbs, like thyme and oregano. Licorice. Nice woodsy tones emerge at the end. Ripe but restrained. This is beautiful stuff.

Structured and inky clay-ey. Toasted oak, minerals, cigars and leather. Quite stubborn and strict, yet interesting and balanced.

Dark rubi robe, discrete nose of plums and black fruit. Very smooth and medium length on the mouth, another one that punches above its weight. Really good now but absolutely no rush.

Amazing! Full body, perfect example of Médoc wine. 2003 is really not so bad!
