Andrew Jefford | Saturated deep black-red in color. Lots of vivacious fresh blackcurrant fruit here, sweet- edged and charming, poised and fresh. An excellent aromatic profile for the vintage. Deep, fresh, vivid, and lively, with plenty of exuberant assurance. Lovely concentration and freshness, and great drinkability for the medium term. Satisfaction guaranteed. Drink 2018–23. | 89

Michael Schuster | Ripe fruit and gravel nose; medium-full wine, nicely balanced, moderately concentrated, fresh, finely tannic; elegant, aromatic, long to taste, refined in texture, complex, persistent in aftertaste. A stylish, complete Lafon-Rochet, but clearly needing time. 2026–36+. | 91
