    91–93. Barrel sample. From the same stable as Léoville Poyferré in Saint-Julien, this is a finely structured, ripe and serious wine. It has dark tannins, big blackberry fruitiness and a generous while firm character.

    92-94 Big and tannic, very firm and tough. Yet all the fruit is there, offering great potential. There is a ripe, juicy aftertaste. Under the same ownership as Château Léoville-Poyferré in Saint-Julien.

    92-94 Barrel sample. A wine obviously for aging, with its severe tannins and very mineral character. It is dark, brooding, solidly ripe and powerful, with a great waft of final juiciness.
