BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane:Broad intense color; not as luminous as others. Good body, intense tannins, ripe fruit, verging on a high alcohol content. Will age. 16

Thierry Desseauve: Good color, fruity and harmonious nose, generous personality; soft and easy to drink, pleasant, but the finish lacks tension. 15.5

Michael Schuster:Gently ripe fruit to smell, with a touch of new oak; nicely balanced, slightly dry light-to-middleweight wine; fresh, ripe, moderately complex; pleasing, easy, supple middle-rank Margaux; a bit oak dry-edged for me, but with nice light length. Accessible already—but better with a year or two more. 2012–22. 15
