Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2017

The 2014 Chateau Poesia has a very well-defined bouquet with plenty of red and black fruit, crushed rose petals and just a touch of smoke. I love the detail here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and...

Floral and aromatic with currant and wet-earth undertones. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a lightly bitter-chocolate aftertaste. Drink now.

Earthy, licorice, plums, smoke and espresso leads you to a medium bodied, silky effort with freshness with a hint of herbs and olives that only add to the red pit fruits in the finish. Read more...

The 2014 Poesia feels more Merlot-driven on the nose compared to the 2013. There is more red fruit here with crushed strawberry, bing cherry, blueberry and violet aromas. This coalesces in the glass, becoming more and...

2014 Chateau Poesia is a Bordeaux Blend from Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France, produced by Chateau Poesia. This red wine, sealed with a cork, presents at 14.5% alcohol by volume.

The wine has garnered praise from multiple professional reviewers, indicating a solid performance across the board. Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com rated it a 91, describing it as "earthy, licorice, plums, smoke and espresso," leading to a "medium bodied, silky effort with freshness" and hints of "herbs and olives" that enhance the red pit fruits in the finish.

James Suckling also awarded the wine a 91, noting its "floral and aromatic" qualities with "currant and wet-earth undertones." He described it as medium to full-bodied with "firm and silky tannins" and a "lightly bitter-chocolate aftertaste," recommending it for immediate consumption.

Vinous, represented by Neal Martin, gave the wine a slightly lower score of 90 but still acknowledged its merits. Martin noted that the 2014 Poesia felt "more Merlot-driven on the nose compared to the 2013," with a plethora of red fruits such as "crushed strawberry, bing cherry, blueberry, and violet aromas." He mentioned that the wine coalesces in the glass, becoming increasingly "sensual." The palate was described as "medium-bodied with slightly drier tannins than the 2013," featuring a "liberal dose of black pepper lending spiciness, touches of graphite and tobacco towards the finish." Martin suggested that it might need "three to four more years in bottle" for optimal enjoyment.

The highest praise came from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, with a score of 93. The review highlighted the wine's "very well-defined bouquet with plenty of red and black fruit, crushed rose petals and just a touch of smoke." The palate was described as "medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and very tensile with superb focus." The review emphasized the 30% Cabernet Franc's contribution to the wine's complexity, leading to an "animated, saline finish," and concluded with a strong recommendation, stating that it "surpasses expectations."

Overall, the 2014 Chateau Poesia is a well-regarded Bordeaux Blend, notable for its aromatic complexity, medium body, and fine tannins. It is recommended for both immediate enjoyment and potential aging.
