Michel Bettane: Not a lot of color; strict and cedary in the mouth; light body, good tannins, some greenness in the finish 15

Thierry Desseauve: Delicate and, in a way, surprisingly overaged color; old-fashioned potpourri aromas, fresh and delicate body; old style but really charming 15.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe Merlot fruit to smell; nicely balanced, supple, easy, lightly tannic wine; freshly ripe fruit; easy, flowing flavor, with good, light length. Attractive already. Now–2018 15.5
