Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Great energetic and subtle tannin structure, integrated as it should be, with a saline finish of great class. | 93

Michael Schuster | Inky; very sweetly ripe core to smell; fairly full, brisk in acidity, finely tannic; crisply ripe red-fruit flavor, with a clear restraint and elegance by comparison with many previous years, plus a very nice, long, and fruit-fragrant persistence. It’s still pretty dry-textured to finish, but you taste St-Emilion at least as much as the winemaking. 2025–35. | 89–90
