Michel Bettane: Lots of fruit on the nose, with indication of cold pre-fermentation. Very much in the blackcurrant direction in the mouth, with integrated tannin. Pretty but not complex 15

Thierry Desseauve: Dark red, exuberant blackcurrant notes (pre-fermentation maceration); fat, generous body, easy-to-drink style, good volume 14

Michael Schuster: Still dumb and closed to smell; fresh to brisk, with a light, firm tannin around a lively red-fruit flavor. Straightforward basic claret. 2013–16 12
