Luscious, well paced, great balance and sense of lift and freshness, really impressive wine, certainly has the fresh acidity of the year, but the structure and muscular frame to give confidence of its softening over ageing 50% new oak, 10% amphora, Hubert de Boüard consultant, harvest September 19 to 22.

(Moulis-en-Médoc; 50% Cabernet Sauvignon; 40% Merlot; 10% Petit Verdot; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; 13.5% alcohol). Another really impressive wine, of classed growth quality, from Arjen Pen. This is plump, full and plush as it always is, but with a degree of elegance and finesse – above all evident in the quality of the tannins – that I don’t think I’ve encountered here before. Dark berry and stone fruits fill the mouth from cheek to cheek, wrapped in velour and soft leather. They’re perfectly ripe and it’s as if they explode over the palate releasing little plumes of freshness like tiny sparkles as they do so. Very dynamic and energetic and very long on the gently tapering finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Branas Grand Poujeaux races out with vivacious notes of kirsch, fresh blackberries, and blackcurrants, plus hints of menthol, graphite, and tilled loam. The medium-bodied palate vibrates with energetic black and red berry layers, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a racy line, finishing long and minerally. The blend is 40% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. The alcohol is 13.5%.

Subtle, round and pleasing glass of wine with an excellent balance. The wine though also has some muscle and energy and would need 4-5 years in order to meld together. A fine effort nonetheless.
