For a Haut Medoc grand cru I was delighted to drink this 35 year old gem. Smokey cedar nose and rich tobacco cassis flavors with delicate tannins this wine has enormous fruit and lasting power. — 8 years ago

Big, ripe, Medoc nose. Tar, leather, tobacco, cassis, cocoa, coffee. Wow this has gotten really good since last time. Nice full body, big fruit, ripe and dark with good stoniness. Very juicy. Long for what it is. Age has mellowed this out. — 9 years ago

Tasted 2005 - photo is of different tasting. Tasting notes 2005: Absolutely to die for. Perfect tannic structure, ripe and round
Could age 20 more years but still wonderful
North of medoc and you'd expect deep and dark, but actually the most feminine and elegant and beautiful of poulliac wines
Black currants
Balanced finish
Not overpowering at all — 9 years ago

A good Cru Bourgeois from Medoc, in the drinking window, very smooth, classic notes, looking for a little more drive and structure from a great vintage. — 9 years ago

Smells smoky dark fruit. Not tart cherry. Ripe blueberry and chocolate. Very smooth and dry. Not spicy. Not tobacco. Not musty. Not earthy. Not sweet. I know what it's not. But not able to think of what it is. Very drinkable. I wonder how it will taste tomorrow. Medium body so should be good next day too. Some floral to it too. I enjoy it. One of my favorite regions. — 10 years ago

While 2006 was a tough year for bourdeaux, this Medoc was a pretty wine, very drinkable. Inky w/ clear berry fruit with middle of the road tannins. Nice meat with a bit of smoke after. — 11 years ago

Red and black currants, dried fruit, forest floor, mushrooms, minestrone soup, high acids, smooth tannins, and sweet oak profile made this Medoc wine from a good vintage - a high-scorer. — 9 years ago

I've never been a big fan of 1989 Medoc 1st growths and this doesn't make me change my mind.
After 60 min of air this shows a beautiful nose but the palate just lacks a lot.... — 9 years ago

Incredibly smooth offering from medoc region. Interesting because not a ton of Bordeaux use Malbec in the equation anymore. The nose is earthy and woodsy. The mouth is mid bodied, smooth dark fruit.... And finished with just a hint of bacon fat. I love the bacon fat nuance but have only personally experienced it in a few Chianti's before. This is great wine. — 9 years ago

2000, Chateau Saint-Saturnin, Medoc. Red Bordeaux. Wow, opened by mistake but glad I did. This is in the sweet spot. Not overly complex but has blackfruit up front followed by secondary, earthy and savory. Excellent pair with Bison ribeyes.
