Michael Schuster: Ripe, fresh, faintly cedar-oaky nose; well-balanced light to middle weight wine with very fine tannin-typical Cotes St-Emilion proportions; long, graceful combination of pure, ripe fruit and delicate limestone minerality; lovely sweet, scented persistence. 16

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Mineral and taut with restrained but very noble tannins, plus a degree of body and aromatic and tannic precision that have been missing for some time. 17
