92-94 Barrel Sample Impressive; the tannins maybe too overwhelming. Look instead for the black plums, the spice and the structure. Needs to come into balance.

An intense and concentrated wine that succeeds well. It has plenty of freshness, but also sufficient firm tannins to offer aging potential. Wood is prominent, but not dominant, finishing with the freshest of berry fruits.

95-97 Barrel sample. Big and ripe, a wine that showers you with ripe tannins, black plum and licorice flavors, and the most dusty tannins. An impressive and seriously concentrated wine.

93-95 Barrel sample. Certainly on the dry side, the wine is very rich, hard edged in its spiciness, with quite a bite of ginger. The acidity, though, is very much in balance, offering a wonderful crispness at the core of all the sweetness.

89-91 Barrel sample. Attractive lemon marmalade aromas already make this wine appealing. The palate, too, shows charm and elegance, with just a touch of new wood complexity. A complete wine, which seems to be coming together already.

Potentially an aromatic wine that will develop a rich, velvety character. At this young stage, the fruit is dominated by firm tannins that sit at the heart of the wine. It has all the density for a good development, aging over 5–10 years.

94-96 Barrel sample. Wonderful concentration here, the wine has the most powerful wood spice, ripe and mineral tannins. It is impressive in every way, showing the total richness of the vintage.

92-94 Barrel sample. A powerful, spice-driven wine, very rich, with a great seasoning of sweet grapefruit and bright, fresh acidity. At the same time, the wine projects richness, intensity.

A full, very low-acid wine, thanks to the hot summer. To compensate, though, there are fine wood and tropical fruit flavors, which lend spice and an exotic element to the wine. Unlike the 2002 from the same property, this wine should be drunk soon

86-88 Barrel sample. This is packed with dry botrytis, plenty of spice and new wood. It's somewhat simple and obvious at this stage, as it needs more layers of flavors. In time, however, it should develop.
