Very light, verging on overripe but very pleasant.
Light and mature but good grip, well-structured, good length.
Rich and ripe 1971-style, good fruit, hinting at overripeness.
Same style as the Clos de l'Ecu 1971, but at the same time more elegance and better grip.
Is maturing well, lively 1983-style, no great richness but well-structured.
Richly tannic, real 1982-style, good wine.
Rich style, new oak, still has a lot more to offer, excellent length.
Elegant and well-balanced Saint-Julien, fragrant.
Stylish, well-balanced, mature, drinking well.
Lovely ripe fruit, rich but not over the top, excellent balance, very good.
Relatively light style, lively, flavoursome, nice tannic grip.
Acidic, lacks ripeness and fruit, not very good.
Spirity and raw, not very good or very stylish.
Good aromatic nose, lively fresh 1981-palate, will dry out.
Nice wine, fully mature, not poetry but good prose.
Firm, good weight, ripe fruit, clearly harvested before the rain, very good, very classical.
Ripe, powerful, aromatic and lively, playful, good weight.
Good wine, good structure but lacks flesh, will dry out.
Fully mature, retains its balance but unexciting.
Very light, overripe, acidic.
A rather rusty and dry 1975, not dried out yet but the bones are starting to show.
Lively, good fruit, supple. Really quite amazing for what it is.
Not too bad for age, lively, acidic edge.
Is getting old, attenuating.
Lively, good quality.
Old, overripe but not unpleasant.
Old but lively.
Lively, good fruit, flavoursome.
True 1982-character but lacks some weight and dimensions, slightly disappointing.
Better balance than the 1981, good nose, weight and length. Successful 1980.
Lovely ripeness of fruit, rich tannins, actually very good.
Attractive, lively, sweetish, nice Chilean.
Very good, lively and flavoursome 1973.
Better than on previous occasions, more flesh and fruit, lively.
Light, refreshing, nice.
Lively, nice oak, acidity, hint of vanilla, well put together.
Much riper style than the 1986, more fruit and flesh. Good wine.
Elegant and charming Pipeau, cross between 1986 and 1982.
Light, dry, fully mature, drink up.
