Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
On the heavy side, this is clumsy and awkward—the botrytis doesn’t seem to have melded with the fruit.

Château Caillou Bordeaux-style White Blend - 2004

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A big and powerful wine, with tannins that are compact and dense. The dryness of the tannins go right to the core, surrounded by chocolate, sweet fruit and dark berry flavors. The wine is well structured, big and bold, with plenty of firmness promising aging.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
91-93 Barrel sample. Strong botrytis, very rich, totally honeyed. This is a powerful wine, very straight in its style, packed with the sweetest apricot jam.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a great food wine, with sweet, soft fruit, cigar-box aromas, and classic flavors of black currants and red hedgerow fruits. Enjoy the fresh tannins and the way the fruit is brought out with red meat dishes.

Château Moulin de Tricot Bordeaux-style Red Blend - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From a small five-acre vineyard owned by actor Gérard Depardieu. The fruit may be from superripe 2003 grapes, but there is a some restraint here, keeping the juicy opulence in balance with the freshness, excellent tannic structure and the open, lively aftertaste.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An impressive wine with ripe fruit allied to sweetness, the structure showing light acidity of lemon zest and sweet peach jam flavors. The balance is impeccable.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
89-91 Barrel sample. This is dense but sweet, the fruit jammy, spicy. There is a core of dry tannins at the end, with acidity appearing only at the end.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fresh and juicy, with bright acidity and some solid tannins. Flavors of spice accompany an edge of green fruit. The aftertaste is tannins and wood.

Château Lafite Rothschild Bordeaux-style Red Blend - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
91-93 Barrel sample. On the dry side, showing acidity, a bitter almond character, followed by spice, creamed apples and a dry final. A weighty wine, with an edge of acidity that is not quite in balance.

Château Doisy Védrines Bordeaux-style White Blend - 2009

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
93-95 Ripely juicy wine, with great spice and fruit. It has delicious black currant flavors, very marked with acidity. The power is certainly there, but the wine has as much style as weight.
