Michael Schuster: Discreet and minerally to smell; an elegant concentration, with a lively acidity and fine tannins; fresh and sweet to taste, pure, refined, classy; understated, but long across the palate, discreet like the nose, a quiet but clear raciness and tenacity of flavor, graceful and refined, perfumed and delicate to finish. Polished, understated, subtle, complete. This is very fine. 2025–40+. 92–93
Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Great aromatic purity, suave texture, immediately open, more precise and more settled than even the best samples presented in the past. A sample presented at Château Talbot, overly wooded, could explain certain criticisms. 96–97
