Michel Bettane: Nice color, fruity nose, delicious texture, and fine tannins. But here, too, nothing really special even if it has more body than Petit-Village 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Comfortable and a bit of a fatty Pomerol; tasty, but less energetic that most of the St-Emilions 16

Michael Schuster: Ripe, spicily fruited nose; elegantly balanced, rich middleweight Pomerol; long, ripe, even, spicy flavor, and with excellent length; complete and harmonious. A fine, longish-term Gazin. 2016–28+ 16 +
