91-93 Barrel sample. Fat style, almost Burgundian in its creamy character, a full-bodied wine, with plenty of ripe, yellow fruit and mango flavors. Big, bold.

91-93. Barrel sample. Despite some reductive character on the nose, the fruit on the palate shows good weight and richness. It should become a rich, citrus-flavored wine.

90-92 Firm in character, with tannins that dominate. There is a good weight behind the tannins, with black fruits likely to come through well.

Maturing well, yet with plenty of aging ahead, this is a firm and fragrant selection. It has a ripe berry flavor and a hint of truffle, with sweet acidity and a dense, rich structure.

90–92. Barrel sample. This is an herbaceous, cool wine that shows fresh pear and lime flavor. It does have a sense of structure that gives density and texture on the finish.

89-91 Barrel sample. Very Sauvignon aromas, lovely fresh herbaceous character. The wine has a fine freshness to it, light, with fruity grapefruit and lime flavors.
