91-93 Barrel sample. Very pure black currant fruits pour out of the glass with this wine. Yes, there are tannins, but the fruit is uplifting, fresh and very vibrant. Delicious, and likely to remain so .

89–91 A dark, dry wine, with powerful tannins. But the fruit is also there giving potential balance to the wine. This should develop well.

Juicy fruit is the dominant character of this delicious, immediately accessible wine which is made by the Mouton-Rothschild team. There are certainly wood layers, and huge tannins, but the wonderful fresh fruit just cannot be subdued.

This is very black currant in character, with crisp fresh fruits to go with the bright acidity. There are tannins certainly, lightened by the fruity character of the wine.

Soft, juicy and fruity, relatively light in character. The tannins are fresh, supporting black currant and fresh, juicy fruit flavors. It’s easy and open, developing well, but quickly.

93-95 Barrel sample. Very rich and dense, solid, chunky textured wine. The tannins are severe, very firm, suggesting a wine with considerable power.

A light, fresh, very accessible wine that has good, vibrant fruit and acidity. No great depths, but certainly pleasurable.

91-93 Finely structured, richly juicy fruit, packed with ripe tannins and great swathes of rich blackberry. It is intense, as well as well integrated.

90-92 Barrel sample. Balanced, open wine, full of ripe blackcurrant fruits. It has a fine, rich density which shows well alongside the acidity of a young wine. It finishes with delicious black fruits.

Fresh, fruity, relatively lightweight, this offers immediately pleasurable drinking. Tannins give a counterpoint, but only play a minor role. For drinking over the next 2–3 years.
