Michael Schuster: Dense and ripe and black-fruit sweet, yet fresh and floral, too, a really lovely nose; fullbodied, fairly powerful, fleshy, fresh, and vital, a richness contained and tensioned by its fresh acidity; richly sweet and juicy, long and racy to taste, complex, generous, ripe, the image of fine Pomerol, broad and yet elegant, and with fine, fruit-fragrant persistence. This will make a most seductive glass. 2027–37. 92–93

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: 92% Merlot, fine, refined, brilliant, floral and notes of red fruit, no heaviness, suave and velvety, brilliant freshness. 96–97
