Michel Bettane: Brownish color, hints of vegetal even herbaceous undertones in the nose, supple, certainly full of finesse but lacking beauty and class for its class! Picked too early. 15

Thierry Desseauve: Fresh red fruits. Elegant and refined style, not a blockbuster, but a fine wine, soft and deep. 16.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe, sweet fruit to smell; nicely balanced in its slightly old-fashioned style; elegant and scented, but without the ripeness of fruit that is currently fashionable; complex, aromatic, mineral, with the fruit there, but a bit firm in texture; will need plenty of time to soften. 2017–27+. 16
