Michel Bettane: Nice color; nose with roasted coffee and pine-wood undertones (certainly too assertive barrels). Good body, good texture; nothing wrong, nothing special 15.5

Thierry Desseauve: Classic and well-balanced St-Julien; a certain delicacy but has limits 15

Michael Schuster: Ripe-fruit nose; nicely balanced, fresh, vital, juicy-fruited wine, with a light, dry tannin; a bit austere as yet but will mellow nicely given time. 2015–20+ 14.5 +
