* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

92-94 A gorgeously ripe wine, full of tropical fruit flavors. All this opulence is tempered with spice, grapefruit and lime flavors. A finely structured and textured wine.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A hugely toasty wine, one that tastes more like a California Chardonnay than a blend of Sauvignon, Semillon and Muscadelle. It works, because it is a great, rich wine, with balanced, ripe fruit, acidity and crisp fruit flavors.

92-94 Barrel sample. A wine that shows the ripe fruit of the year, but that seems to keep enough freshness. Bold and rich, very spicy wood on top of peach fruit flavors.

88-90 Barrel sample. The wood is the dominant character here, the fruit hinting at herbacousness, but forced behind all that toast.

87—89 Barrel sample. Soft and round, this seems to have more spice than fruit. Its roundness is more Chardonnay than Sauvignon Blanc or Semillon, hardly in the style of Pessac-Léognan.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A ripely smooth, polished wine, the new wood a major constituent of its character. It has a severe structure, dark and concentrated, but the texture of the very ripe fruit is rounded, jammy, giving a more generous potential. Age for at least five years.

92-94 Barrel sample. This wine has great spice, nutmeg and black fig flavors. It is full of deep, brooding tannins, and packed with intense acidity. It's fresh but has good concentration.

90—92 Barrel sample. Very toasty, spicy aromas, with some dry firm tannins, this is a wine that is solidly structured, balanced, with the tannins well integrated with the ripe black plum fruit flavors.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Dark, bitter chocolate flavors come together with dusty tannins, new wood and smoky aromas. Despite a slight vegetal hint, the main effect is elegance, with a smooth aftertaste.
