Andrew Jefford | Dark and promisingly dense black-red. Fresh currants but some sweeter black cherry for balance, too. “Classic fresh claret” on the palate, but the fruited sweetness promised by the scents is there; the acidity is not overdominant, and there are no green notes. Satisfying depths, though it’s still not for the long term. 2018–22. | 87

Michael Schuster | A light blackcurrant-ripe fruit to smell; nicely balanced mid-weight, fresh and with a light, fine tannin; a gently juicy, ripe blackcurrant core flavor, some length both to taste and to finish. Attractive lesser Médoc. Now to 2028. | 88
