Michel Bettane: Big color, generous nose, excellent body, ripe harvest; lots of wine indeed and an evident change of style for the château, with a more masculine touch. Very Pauillac and superb value for money 17

Thierry Desseauve: Havana notes, fleshy with solid tannins, good length. Not an outstanding wine but a genuine expression of its terroir 15.5

Michael Schuster: Fresh, ripe fruit to smell; ripe, finely tannic, savory middleweight claret; dry but juicy; modest scope but attractively ripe fruit and good light length. Now–2016 15.5
