With 44% of Cabernet Sauvignon and an equal amount of Merlot, this wine perfectly expresses the relatively cool vineyards of Listrac. It has structure, tautness and fine, violet perfumes and layers of spicy wood. Fine, clean acidity suggests good aging potential. Imported by Carolina Wine Co.

Dark and solid, a wine that favors flavors such as mocha and ripe plums, counterpointing these with some strong tannins. It finishes dry, but there is weight behind this dryness.

Red berry fruits dominate a wine that is solid, foursquare, with dry tannins and acidity. The mix is made more lively with cinnamon spice flavors and vanilla from wood. Enjoy in five years.

88-90 Barrel sample. A dark-hued wine that has big, bold ripe fruits, the dry tannins powerful, edging towards rustic. The wine has potential, but it is hardly elegant.

A little rough around the edges, this wine still has some attractive black berry and damson flavors and shows acidity and a texture of dry tannins. For medium-term aging.

90-92 Firm, concentrated, dry wine. It seems to be all structure, until the sweet juicy plum fruits show through.

88-90 Barrel sample. Ripe, fruity black currant aromas and a fine, ripe element of new wood and dusty tannins give this wine a polished and elegant appeal. There's great depth of flavor as well as excellent aging potential.

A full, firm, ripe wine that shows considerable style and richness. There are fine, dusty tannins, masking the full-bodied black fruits, licorice flavors, and a firm, smooth aftertaste.
