Parker about Château Poujeaux Magnum 2005
Tasted at BBR's 2005/2009 tasting in London. The Poujeaux '05 has a classic bouquet with graphite and tobacco with good precision and mineralite, growing in intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a tertiary entry, quite powdery in texture with fine, grippy tannins leading to a foursquare, robust finish. Come back in five or six years.
