Chateau Poesia St.-Emilion 2020

Jeb Dunnuck : 96 Points

(3/29/2023) Based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Chateau Poesia has a wonderful purity and freshness in its ripe blue fruits, tobacco, cedar, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, it has good acidity, ultra-fine tannins, beautiful overall balance, and just a classy, seamless, incredibly elegant profile. It's another gorgeous wine from this incredible team. Maturity 2026 - 2046.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni : 94 Points

(12/2022) The 2020 Poesia is superb, just as it was from barrel. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice, cedar and mocha infuse this broad, ample Saint- Emilion with remarkable complexity. This is an especially dense, full-throttle Saint-Emilion, but it all works so well. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035.

James Suckling : 95 Points

(5/14/2023) This has a complex nose of plums, blackcurrants, chocolate, hazelnuts and violets. Licorice. Crushed stones and green olives, too. Fragrant and layered, with a medium to full body, fine tannins and excellent freshness. Sophisticated and elegant St Emilion. Drink from 2026.
