Wine Spectator Review:
Full and very velvety, with round and juicy tannins. Creamy. New ownership here is really making a difference in wine quality this is the best ever after maybe the 1929. - James Suckling, Wine Spectator

Parker Review:
The Cuvelier family that has done so much to resurrect Clos Fourtet purchased this estate that had long been the pride and joy of the Theil family. A large vineyard, and certainly the finest wine of the somewhat forgotten appellation of Moulis, the yields in 2009 were 40 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Soft, fleshy, and opulent, with lots of black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of cedar and spice box, and an enticing texture result in a wine to drink now and over the next 10-12 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. 90 - 93 points.

Tanzer Review:
Purple ruby. Highly complex, precise nose of red cherry, dark plum, black pepper and wet stone is complicated by cinnamon and clove. Deep and pure on entry, showing an easygoing, approachable charm and very good clarity to its ripe red and black fruit flavors. With its harmonious acidity and fine-grained tannins, this dense wine comes across as powerful yet refined. The long finish features a peppery nuance. By far the best young Poujeaux in years, easily the quality of a good third or even second growth.
