Château Poujeaux — Château Poujeaux 2017

Château Poujeaux 2017 (AOC Moulis-en-Médoc), a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 13% Petit Verdot at 13.5% alcohol, is a good wine, no question. 2017 was a difficult vintage in Bordeaux, and this is a very distinct result. But I don't think it will age that well. It's perfect if you're looking for a young Bordeaux red that has some complexity, is still available to buy, and is already ready to drink. Having drunk half a bottle: I like it. But I've tasted perhaps 30 different Greek red wines of that vintage that are better. Lobenberg rates it 94+ points, which feels generous to me.
