Note di degustazione
The 2016 Poesia has a similar nose to the 2015 with its vivacious red fruit (wild strawberry, cranberry jus and fresh blueberries) intertwined with touches of vanilla pod and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, very pliant tannins. Approachable in style, this Poesia caresses and seduces with its velvety texture and plush, yet focused finish that offers a little more mineralité . Gorgeous. Tasted at the Poesia vertical in Saint-Émilion.

The 2016 Poesia offers plenty of blackberry, cedar and subtle undergrowth scents on a nose that feels as if it has closed down in recent months. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a welcome, spicy, graphite-tinged finish that just needs to develop more persistence and grip. I suspect that will develop with time and make my score for this gorgeous Saint-Émilion appear conservative. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
The 2016 Poesia has a very pure, sensual bouquet of macerated small black cherries, blueberry and touches of crushed violet. The 70% new oak is nicely integrated. The lively, medium-bodied palate displays a fine bead of acidity that cuts through sweet black fruit laced with graphite, to the point where it could almost pass as a Left Bank. There is good length here. Quite vibrant and one to watch.
The 2016 Poesia is a plush, deep Saint-Émilion endowed with quite a bit of textural richness. Dark raspberry jam, cloves, menthol, plum and rose petal all flesh out in a sumptuous, open-knit Saint-Émilion that will drink well right out of the gate. The 2016 is not especially complex, but it is quite delicious and easy to like. Poesia is Hélène Garcin and Patrice Leveque's wine from Saint Émilion's St. Etienne de Lys sector.
