Château Poujeaux continues its recent string of fine efforts. Although the 2011 harvest lacks the enthusiastic ratings of the previous two vintages, fine wines can be found at less exalted prices. Rich with blackberry, black plum and blueberry fruits balanced by vanilla and baking spices, the 2011 Poujeaux is defined by its beautiful purity and complex layering of flavors. You can enjoy it now or cellar it for another decade.
