BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Good color; classical Merlot plum undertones; lovely texture, harmonious tannins, complex finish; very seductive and classical 17

Thierry Desseauve: Red and young color; brilliant fruity nose; silky tannins. Very elegant and seductive wine but not as long as the top ones 16

Michael Schuster: Gently oaky nose; crisp, delicate, refined, and fragrant red-fruit wine, finely, dryly tannic still, moderately complex, and needing time. 2015–22+ 15.5
