Offering up aromas of blackcurrants and plums mingled with cigar wrapper, pencil shavings and nicely integrated new oak, the 2016 Branas Grand Poujeaux is medium to full-bodied, supple and layered, with good concentration, powdery tannins and lively balancing acids. Classically proportioned but intensely flavored, it's still a good five or six years away from early maturity, but it's a terrific young Moulis.
