Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Appetizing nose, perfectly defined fruit, a density on the mid-palate upheld by an acidity that perfectly balances out the wine. | 94

Michael Schuster | Oaky, freshly black-cherry sweet, gently muscular in tannin—you sense its one fifth Cabernet Sauvignon—balanced, yes, but you cannot entirely escape the alcohol warmth of 15%+; a fine, sweet fruit, a lovely length of flavor and a warm, spicy, fragrant persistence. It’s very good, and very individual—not everyone’s cup of tea! fine fruit-fragrant persistence within the warmth. 2026–40+. | 90–92
