"The 2010 Poyeux has not yet closed down for a period of hibernation and consequently the wine is absolutely singing with youthful exuberance at present. The bouquet soars from the glass in a pure and nascently complex blend of cherries, a touch of pomegranate, cocoa powder, cigar wrapper, gentle notes of menthol and vanillin oak and a glorious base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with simply superb, seamless balance, a great core of sappy fruit, stellar transparency, suave tannins and impeccable focus and grip on the long and oh, so promising finish. This will be a very red fruity vintage of Poyeux and should prove to be one of the very finest here in the last quarter century." John Gilman, View From the Cellar #68. Apr 2017 |
