A direct wine, its acidity very linear to go with the dark tannins. The fruit is juicy, very black currant, with a stalky character. This is classic food-friendly Bordeaux, with a bright but dry finish.

A finely balanced wine, its tannins kept well in place but there are tight fruits and a texture that shows an edge of acidity and green peppers. The style is maybe old-fashioned—no concession to ripeness or extraction here—and it works well.

A generous wine, but one with good backbone and structure. The black fruits are beginning to meld into the sweet tannins and flavors of black cherry compote and spices. It is approaching maturity, but could age another 2–3 years.

A wine that is fully ready to drink, with soft tannins, black cherry flavors and light acidity. The texture is still firm, but it is comfortably subsumed into the fruit.

From the weight of the bottle, Danielle and Richard Dubois obviously think this wine is important. In fact, it is a rich, stewed-fruit-flavored wine, with soft and dense tannins, very ready to drink, but suffering from the hot year.

A fine, totally sweet-fruited burst of Merlot that brings together fine structure with the beginnings of mature texture. There is a layer of vanilla, a warmly polished feel with glowing berries and sweet spice. Delicious and certainly ready to drink.
