Michael Schuster: Ripe-fruited to smell; medium-full, fresh, finely tannic; sweet, quite refined in flavor, gently fragrant, but limited in depth, scope, and aromatic complexity, if with good light length. Some way, though, from the 2015: “a most beautiful, perfumed Pomerol … glorious.” 2022–30. 90–91

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Very elegant, refined tannins, velvety, classy, brilliant length. A real success. 96–97
