Michel Bettane: Nose is very precise and focused on earthy/spicy undertones; strict and elegant Léognan texture, perhaps with a slight lack of generosity, but a better balance between tannin and alcohol than most. This is made for aging 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Harmonious and balanced wine; redfruit aromas; fleshy body with an honorable structure; easy to drink 15.5

Michael Schuster: Light red fruit and lightly gravelly nose; fresh, light, dry in texture; lean overall, some barely ripe fruit in here, and finishing brief. Pleasant, no more, and to drink young. Now–2015 13.5 +
