White fruits, pleasant oak and good acidity. The wine is still much too young. 92+
Red
2018 Château Larcis Ducasse
95 points
Creamy dark berries and primary cherries in the bouquet. On the palate red berries, bell pepper, very juicy, vanilla, a good dose of oak firm and good acidity and tannin. Overall a beautiful, concentrated and juicy wine which is much too young now. Wait at least a decade. For now 94 – 96+

2002 Carruades de Lafite
91 points
Beautiful and creamy bouquet with butter and beautiful vanilla from the luxurious oak. On the palate red and dark berries, beautiful acidity, vanilla and still slightly sticky tannin. Mild bitterness, some bell pepper and slightly sticky tannin. Good length. Really nice to taste this wine again and the wine is still very much alive and not a bit too old yet. It can last at least another 3+ years.
Red
1985 La Dame de Montrose
The bouquet is quite tertiary with mushrooms and forest floor impressions. Same on the palate, ok acidity, nuts and coffee. Ok acidity still. No score.
Red
1986 Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)
Tertiary and very mature but still pleasant bouquet. On the palate mature as well. Mushrooms, nuts, coffee, autumn impressions, good acidity and the tannin is even still slightly sticky. At the end of its life, but still a pleasure. Drink very soon. No score for today.

Beautiful and very tempting bouquet with vanilla and berry fruits. On the palate juicy dark berries. Fully mature and at its peak with still a soft and pleasant bite. Really nice.
Red
2010 Château La Fleur de Boüard
92 points
Beautifully ripe dark berry fruits in the bouquet. Licorice and a light, pleasant dose of vanilla as well. On the palate dark and red berries, licorice and beautiful acidity and round tannin with still a lovely bite. Beautiful wine and a great pleasure now and probably the next 2 - 3+ years.

Vanilla and dark berries in the bouquet. On the palate some autumn impressions and red bell pepper. Firm acidity and the wine lacks some concentration and roundness.
