88-90 Barrel sample. Lemon aromas of surprising intensity allow this wine to stand out from the crowd. But they also give give it a dry, firm feel with acidity more dominant than sweetness.

86-88 This could work as a rich wine, because there is good structure and piles of botrytis. It could be delicious, with its lovely dry finish, but that’s for the future.

92-94 Great acidity here, the wine has freshness as well as dried apricot and peach flavors, very honeyed. Excellent acidity to finish.

92—94 Barrel sample. Beautifully balanced, this wine shows freshness and richness in equal measure. The acidity gives the sweet apricot, dried fruit and honeyed flavors an vibrancy as well as power.

This beautiful, historic château has produced a concentrated 2004, dark hued, dominated by botrytis and supported by a firm structure. The fruit flavors run from honeyed apple to lychees and give richness rather than freshness.

Very balanced wine, with the acidity well integrated into the ripe botrytis and firm texture. The wine has a poise to it, a lightness of touch, but will also age well.

A beautifully dense wine, concentrated and ripe. With its opulent style, packed with sweetness, this is dominated by its smooth, velvet texture, the botrytis packed behind. An impressive wine that is good to drink now, but should age well.

90-92 Barrel sample. Lively, fresh fruit here, with a light lemon bite along with the dry botrytis element. The wine has great vivacity, deliciously crisp to finish.
