Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | For the first time we preferred, by a small margin, Rauzan-Gassies in a blind tasting. Fine body, impeccable precision of extraction, but withatiny bit less on the finish for the moment. Tasted four times. | 93

Michael Schuster | Lightly mineral to smell; rich, relatively fleshy, finely tannic, vividly fresh; supple, succulent, seductively long across the palate, complex, so delicately, so finely textured and very long and fragrant to finish. Beautiful, discreetly showy Margaux. 2026–40. | 91–93
