Stephen Brook: Lush, sensuous oaky nose of ripe cherries. Suave and elegant, with no rough edges, yet concentrated and structured with red-fruit intensity and good acidity and length. 17

Michael Schuster: Deep purple; a dense, slightly extracty nose; a rich middleweight, beautifully balanced, with a very fine tannin and fresh acidity; long and ripe and succulent, with a premier cru tenacity and subtlety of flavor behind the richness. Juiciness, succulence, class, and excellent scented length. A very fine premier cru! Needs 3–4 years, and may harden in bottle, but full of promise. From 2014. 17
