Smoke, chocolate, toffee, spice and caramel. It’s ripe, very open, full-bodied, with a rich Merlot character.

88-90 This is a ripe, complete wine, full of black fruits, spicy wood and solid tannins. Over five-10 years, it will develop into a very satisfying wine.

A wine that is dominated by big, dense tannins. The black currant fruits come through with a stalky character. As it opens in the mouth, the wine shows some richness, along with its tannins, a hint of wood giving a smooth, elegant edge to the finish. It does need aging—four to five years.

85-87 Barrel sample. A lightweight wine with pleasant fresh fruits. It has attractive fruit bowl flavors and some fresh apple-and-cream tastes.

Red wine is new to André Lurton’s property, only since 2002. This third vintage is dominated by new wood that works well, giving a smooth, velvet texture and a modern, polished feel.

One of the many Pessac-Léognan properties owned by Andre Lurton, Cruzeau has a long history dating back to the 18th century. This 2000 vintage, now totally mature, has great vanilla flavors that balance well with the intense grapefruit flavors and toasty aromas.

92-94 A stunning wine from this Lurton-owned estate. Pure black fruits give sweetness, richness and a long-lasting aftertaste. One of the best wines from the Margaux appellation.

An attractive, crisp, citrusy wine, full of herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc flavors. The delicious, full-blown fruit is well balanced with spice from the new wood aging.

A concentrated and dense wine. Intense in its wood aging, this is still a young wine. The fruit is certainly rich, with black currants dominant overlain with spice from the wood and with dark tannins.

88-90 Barrel sample. A spicy new wood flavored wine, offering attractive jammy fruits. The wine is fresh, fruity, not particularly dense, but balancing well.
