Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | One of the best in its category; cedar wood and spices, broad and generous, highly typical of the Médoc. | 94

Michael Schuster | Freshly mineral to smell, and sweetly red-fruit ripe; rich, full, fresh, firmly tannic, lovely balance; sweetly ripe, fairly dense, very mineral, subtle, and complex; tannins fine, but still fairly firm, and with lovely aromatic length. Very good, in the ample, firmer style of the year, and so a relatively long-term Croix 2028–40. | 90–91+
