Michel Bettane: Dark color, discreet nose, medium body; nothing special; lacks focus and precision in the fruit and complexity in the tannin. Average vintage there. 14

Thierry Desseauve: A hint of brown in the color; quite austere nose; balanced but severe wine. 14

Michael Schuster: Closed, minerally nose; fresh, mellow middleweight, very gently tannic; ripe slightly fluid blackcurrant flavor. Pretty straightforward wine with medium length; easy, accessible. Now–2016+. 14
