99 JS / 96 AG / 96 WS / 96 JD / 95 WA / 94 BH / 18 JR “Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose - plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral...
99 DE / 19.5 JR / 97+ VM / 96 WA "And so from P1 methuselah to P2, which for Geoffroy ‘goes beyond Champagne’. P2, he continues, must be ‘deeper, richer, longer…better than P1' - otherwise why...
95 BH / 95 WS / 94-96 WA Tasting note: (fashioned with <70% whole clusters). I had not tried the '02 Riche in several years so it was interesting to see how it's progressing. The expressive though very cool nose is...

93 WS Dense aromas of licorice, tobacco, cedar and currants. Subtle yet complex. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a rich, long finish. Very pretty. One of the best from Pauillac this year, and clearly better than 2001...
90+ VM / 90 WS / 89-91 WA (13.5% alcohol) Medium bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, cassis and bitter chocolate, with a hint of animal reduction. Wonderfully sweet and creamy, with crystallized black fruit and floral...
