90—92 Barrel sample. Very modern, polished in style, a wine whose new wood doesn’t mask the rich fruit. The tannins are more to do with wood than fruit. This will be delicious.

Shows a fair amount of toasty, vanilla-scented oak, but its well balanced by cassis and tobacco notes. Medium-to-full-bodied, with a supple mouthfeel and dusty earth and tobacco flavors. Ripe cherry fruit comes through on the finish, suggesting that better things may emerge in another couple of years.

87-89 A smooth, ripe fruity wine, with sweet tannns and black, perfumed flavors. Fine acidity completes a well-made wine.

90-92 Barrel sample. Large-scale renovations to the vineyard and the advice of Patrick Valette as consultant have paid great dividends at this ancient vineyard. The wine is ripely opulent but balanced, with new wood that supports rather than dominates, and a structure that promises long aging.

85-87 Barrel sample. Ripe, unfocussed fruit, simple blackberry jelly flavor, lacking the structure and the acidity.

88-90 The wine seems to have over-ripe fruit, giving it an unbalanced feel. It does have weight, the tannins offering some structure, while it's the acidity that really gives the wine shape.
