BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Intense color, imposing body, mineral tannin typical of Latour, firm, complete. But it needs to be fine-tuned in barrel. | 95

Michael Schuster | Lightly gravelly / minerally to smell, and red-fruit ripe; full, fresh, firmly tannic, a gently muscular constitution; crisply red-fruit ripe, firmly fleshed, long and understated to taste, with very fine tannins, an elegant, linear, even impression, not very expressive at the moment, but tempting one to linger nonetheless, and with a long, red-fruit fragrant finish. 2030–44+. | 91–92
