93–95 One of the properties owned by the Moueix family in Pomerol, this is rich, intense, dark and very firm. The fruit is certainly ripe, but it is also very dry. 1 Note

92-94 Barrel Sample Well balanced wine; its rich dark fruits well in harmony with its freshness and dry tannins. Very juicy aftertaste. 1 Note

95—97 Barrel sample. The freshness of 2006 is here in abundance. But because it is Pétrus, those deliciously lively black fruits are backed up with a formidable battery of tannins and concentration. But never extracted, always properly restrained. 1 Note

90—92 Barrel sample. Initially, you are hit by a wall of fruit tannin, dark and forbidding. But then it opens into a heavily structured, but still fruity wine. One for aging. 1 Note

90—92 Barrel sample. With its dusty tannins, powered, firm fruit and solid structure, this shows the real quality of ripe Merlot in the 2006 vintage. 1 Note

89—91 Barrel sample. Owned by Hubert de Bouärd of Château Angélus, this is an example of what can be done in the lesser appellations if money is no object. It is smooth, ripe, with new wood but not too much, powered by top quality, densely dry tannins. 1 Note

89—91 Barrel sample. This is ripe, the tannins a whisper behind the spice and fresh, juicy fruits. Great ripe, fruity Merlot. 1 Note

87-89 Barrel sample. With its lovely fresh fruit, gentle tannins, spice and acidity, this is an easy, open, gentle wine. The fruit is ripe and floral. 1 Note

An immediately attractive wine that carries its ripe fruit easily. Both the fruit and the structure are dense, with flavors of dried raisins balanced by fresh acidity. It is already maturing, so drink in 2 years. 1 Note

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. 1 Note
