BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Gently black-fruit-ripe nose, fine, complex, subtle, persistent; rich, beautifully balanced Pauillac, supple yet fresh, very fine in tannin, and oh so accessible; richly sweet, without being in way heavy or strong, gently mineral, long and easy across the palate, juicy and yet fine and subtle too, complex, sapid, and with delicious fruit and aroma length. Everything there: class, scope, ease, completeness, classicism, with no weakness at any point. 2024–40. 92–94

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Classic structure, slightly more discrete than at a few neighbors, but the temperature of the sample presented at the property was slightly high. Frank tannins. A true-to-type Pauillac. 96
