BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Strong color; developed nose, with a hint of animal or leather undertones; excellent body, strict and austere texture, firm tannins more in a vin de presse style than ideal; certainly built for aging, but it will not soften very much 15

Thierry Desseauve: Young red color, red fruits, tight body with a lot of acidity. Lack of roundness and charm 14

Michael Schuster: Fine, ripe fruit nose; slightly chewy, typical St-Estèphe; solid, fruity, straightforward. Give it a year or two. 2014–20 14.5
