Michael Schuster: Well-balanced, medium-full wine with a very fine tannin; fresh, ripe, graceful and supple, with moderate complexity, but good length. Very pretty, if not much scope; complete at a lesser level for this property. 15.5+

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: A colourless, listless sample, obviously very tired for some reason. Another sample tasted by T exhibited more finesse, together with that genuine elegance and texture that is associated with a very high proportion of Cabernet grapes. 16?
