89–91. Barrel sample. This is a perfumed wine with new-wood aromas that lend a strongly woody character. The wood buries much of the fruit at the moment, resulting in a hard and dry aftertaste.

84-86 Barrel sample. Definitely in the earthy style of Listrac, very tannin dominated, the fruit way behind that dry structure. It seems to have been over-extracted.
