Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | The most complete in recent history, and one of the most exemplary definitions of what one expects of an elegant St-Estèphe, with the characteristic serious voluptuousness of this rather special vintage. | 94–95

Michael Schuster | Black-purple; dense, closed, gently gravelly; a rich middleweight, fresh in acidity, fine in tannin, very nicely balanced; fresh blackberry-fruit ripe to taste, the tannins just a touch St-Estèphe chewy, nice length to finish; solid, attractive, satisfying wine which will be accessible early, but no hurry either. 2023–33. | 89–91
