Wine Spectator, March 2003

A wine with delicious berry nutmeg and fresh tobacco character with just a hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and a long finish. Impressive. Very fine. Much better than from barrel. Best after 2008. 25415...

The 2000 Poujeaux Bordeaux Blend from the Moulis sub-region of Bordeaux, France, is a red wine that has garnered attention for its robust character and intricate flavors. Known for its dense ruby/purple color, this wine embodies the traditional qualities one would expect from an estate like Poujeaux, recognized for its meticulous approach to winemaking.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this vintage an 88-point score, highlighting its "serious" nature. The review praises the wine for its "sweet nose of black currants, minerals, and earth," as well as its "excellent texture" and "impressive purity." The finish is described as "long, concentrated, and moderately tannic," suggesting a wine that offers both complexity and depth. Parker's Advocate noted its anticipated maturity between 2005 and 2016, indicating its potential for aging.

On the other hand, Wine Spectator bestowed a higher score of 90 points, reflecting a slightly more enthusiastic reception. This review highlights the wine's "delicious berry, nutmeg, and fresh tobacco character" with a subtle hint of vanilla. According to the review, the wine is "medium-bodied with silky tannins and a long finish," attributes that contribute to its overall "impressive" and "very fine" profile. Wine Spectator suggests that the wine improved significantly from its barrel days and recommends consumption after 2008, ensuring the wine's flavors have had time to develop fully.

With 25,415 cases made, the 2000 Poujeaux offers a substantial supply for Bordeaux enthusiasts. Both reviews underscore the wine's complexity and finesse, making it a noteworthy option for those seeking a well-rounded and mature Bordeaux blend.
