Michael Schuster: Dense, tight, aromatic, pure and mineral to smell; fairly full, with a fresh rather than a vital acidity; no lack of acidity, but some way from the vigor of 2014, for example; long, subtle, juicily ripe, gently minerally aromatic, with the characteristic finesse and fine persistence. Relatively discreet and supple for the wine, so accessible early. Very nice, without being “grand.” 2022–28. 91–93
Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Complex, ample, not quite totally open on the nose, but in line with its usual style and in an excellent vintage. 96
