Andrew Jefford | Translucent brick-garnet in color, but with some depth. Sweet, harmonious, with ripe fruit that is taking a little age already, but agreeably so. (A touch volatile also.) Smooth, pleasant but unexceptional on the palate, and an older-seeming wine than many of its 2014 peers. But a nice wine for all that. | 84
Anne Krebiechl | The nose seems fleshy and lacking in focus. The palate has warmth from alcohol and freshness from acidity but seems to lack precision and focus—where is the fruit? | 80
Jancis Robinson | Light to mid-ruby with some evolution at the rim. Light nose with a hint of smoked meat. Sweet powdery start. Mild and easy. Already quite evolved and with sweet appetizing notes to counterbalance the acidity. Fine tannins and the merest hint of something metallic on its long finish. 2017–23. | 89
