90–92. Barrel sample. This is a full and ripe wine that slowly reveals its rich, full-bodied character. On the mid palate, dry Saint-Estèphe tannins come through to show the immense concentration of the wine.

89-91 The wine is all tannins, very severe feeling. The toughness masks the fruit, although there is just a hint of juiciness to finish.

89-91 Barrel sample. Caramel aromas, a wine that seems over-extracted, tough. The fruit has a juicy element, but misses out on elegance.
