BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Excellent color; big nose; ripe harvest in evidence. Excellent body, intense tannins—for the moment, serious and with an evident change of style, but built for aging 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Deep color, very smoky, fine tannins; tight structure, long. Wait 10 years 16

Michael Schuster: Ripe Merlot fruit on the nose; relatively fleshy mid-weight, with the year’s austerity of tannin and flavor; good, solid; will need time. 2016–25+ 15.5
