    91–93. Barrel sample. This solid wine is dark with tannins and a dense, extracted texture. The palate is weighty with an intensely dry core and a serious, mineral character. For long-term aging.

    90-92 So stylish, with its ripe, jammy berry fruits already a pleasure to appreciate. It does have structure to go with the new wood character. Probably not for the long-term.

    88—90 Barrel sample. The man who makes Dassault aeroplanes, also owns this property. It's improving, as witnessed by this dense, dark wine, very solid, dark chocolate.
