BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane:Good dark color, more open nose, medium body; supple tannins for a Léognan wine, good oak, not great potential but deftly made. Of course, I expect more from the source. 15

Thierry Desseauve:The nose is not perfect, with some evolved aromas; in the mouth, the wine becomes more pleasant, with its soft and supple body, its good balance, and a real persistency. 15.5

Michael Schuster:Oak-cedar-dominated nose and lightly ripe fruit; fairly supple medium-full wine, finely tannic, moderate concentration; flavor of finesse, ripeness, and aromatic complexity, but with a marked dry wood tannin frame that detracts from the overall harmony. Good, but I hope it absorbs the wood, I have my doubts. Fine fruit and aroma length. Texture less impressive than en primeur? 2016–26+. 16
