Michel Bettane: Good color, discrete nose, medium body but nice overall balance; delicate, ripe, but too young. 15.5

Thierry Desseauve: Solid and serious wine, with a dark color, berries, and cigar-box flavor; powerful structure and round body. It lacks real personality, but it is a good wine. 15.5

Michael Schuster: Light fruit and mineral nose; light, dry, moderately concentrated wine; supple, lightly tannic, gentle gravelly flavor; not particularly complex but gently fleshy, very pleasing, very attractive, and with good light length. Accessible early. Now to 2018. 15.5
