Michel Bettane: Good color; anise and spices on the nose; excellent body, strict texture but noble tannins; elegant classical St-Julien, full of potential 17

Thierry Desseauve: Dark color, smoky nose; not a readyto- drink style; spicy and tight 15

Michael Schuster: Ripe mineral-backed fruit to smell; vivid acidity behind a ripe, fresh, redcurrant-fruit flavor; good length of aftertaste, but youthful and a bit austere as yet. Leave it for a few years—this will be very good. 2015–24+ 15
