Michel Bettane: Strawberry and raspberry aromas, tight and elegant texture, pure and precise finish. Very well-made, complete second wine, with all the class of the place 17

Thierry Desseauve: Blooming, supple style—not a wine made for very long aging, but it represents perfectly a genuine Pauillac that can be drunk in the next 3–5 years 15.5

Michael Schuster: Dense ripe fruit to smell; very nicely balanced firm, rich middleweight of moderate scope and medium length; nice ripe fruit in the year but still needing a fair amount of time in bottle. 2016–24+ 15.5 +
