* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is a wonderful, dense wine, very concentrated, very intensely flavored. At this stage of its development, it is the opulence which is most evident, but there are already hints that it will show pure fruit alongside sweet tannins, and will develop complexity.

92-94 Barrel sample. A powerfully ripe wine, velvety smooth, with layers of wood, acidity and dark, firm tannins.

86-88 This is a wine which risks being dominated by dry tannins, but narrowly avoids this fate because the fruit is so sweet and ripe. The tannins should soften and the wine will be delicious.

a superb wine this is going to be. It is rich, elegant, poised, with its super-ripe, but still fresh, berry fruit flavors exhibiting much of the richness of Merlot when it has been ripened slowly and surely. While this has less intensity than its neighbor of Château Pétrus, the Cabernet Franc in the blend gives it intriguing perfumes.

90-92 Barrel sample. A dense, finely structured wine, the tannins offering dark fruit. Initially it seems austere, but then ripe fruit piles in lifting the final taste.

Initially, this seems soft and superripe. But the acidity that shows through balances the black cherry jam flavors, and the touch of mint gives a delicious edge. The aftertaste brings back juicy, ripe fruit.

93-95 Power and tannins on a wine that has initial severity. It shows a black plum skin texture. Very solid and dense.

Rich, sweet chocolate flavors balance with equally sweet blackberries in this opulent wine. This ripeness goes right through to the heart of the concentrated texture, even the tannins sharing in the generosity. This is a delicious wine, but wait for five years and it will be even better.

93-95 Barrel sample. There is great weight here, a wine that is dark and dense, packed with superb dusty tannins. Solid and with a firm core, but also opulent.

91—93 Barrel sample. A big wine in all senses – big fruit, bit spice from the wood, but tannins. They all hang together, and come up with elegance as well as power.
