Michael Schuster: Well-balanced, fleshy wine with a firm, dry, natural and nicely defining tannin; ripe fruit, but also elegant, restrained, fairly complex and with good length. Very good. 16.5/17

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Very powerful and intensely truffly with massive, palpably rugged tannins not often seen in this cru. Beware of drinking before its time! 17/18
