Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Vigorous, ample, frank, firm tannins—a great Malescot, in line with the terroir. | 95

Michael Schuster | Lovely ripe fruit, persistent, too; full, fresh, finely if firmly tannic; sweet, pure, juicy, and vital, long and gently racy to taste, subtly mineral underneath, with excellent aromatic length. Very Margaux in its purity, somewhat Rolland in its overall style, but the year’s concentration, freshness, length. Lovely wine. 2030–45+. | 91–92
