87-89 This is a very elegant wine, not at all powerful. The fruit is sweet, dominating the dry tannins.

Smoke, chocolate, toffee, spice and caramel. It’s ripe, very open, full-bodied, with a rich Merlot character.

90-92 Barrel sample. A very smooth, rich wine, with a slight touch of pepper from the alcohol. The tannins are huge but submerged by ripe fruit. There's almost Napa-like ripeness, but also delicious acidity.

92-94 Barrel Sample Initially bitter chocolate and cocoa flavors, followed by hugely ripe fruit. Further tastes come through, fresh acidity, full black fruit flavors and dark tannins. Powerful.

Attractive perfumed wine, rich, soft, generous and opulent. It has powerful, ripe fruit flavors of black berry and sweet plum that gives great richness.

From the Pomerol estate under the same ownership as Léoville-las-Cases in Saint-Julien. A big wine, with generous, opulent fruit. Bitter chocolate as well as ripe black skins and big firm fruits and tannins. To finish, there is a lift of freshness, but this is more about sweet fruits.

89-91 Barrel sample. This is dense but sweet, the fruit jammy, spicy. There is a core of dry tannins at the end, with acidity appearing only at the end.

Rich, jammy aromas set the scene for an exuberant black fruited wine, with generous soft texture. The tannins have dried fruit and fig flavors, lifted by attractive freshness.

There is great depth of fruit here, combined with the velvet textures that come from ripe Merlot. At the same time, this wine has a structure at its heart surrounded by that generous, delicious, blackberry fruit flavor.

91-93 Barrel sample. There is a good structure to go with the rich fruit and intense ripeness. The acidity compensates for the slight burn of alcohol.
