Michel Bettane: Dark, harmonious body, very ripe, excellent tannins, precise, impressive modern-style winemaking: lots of character and life. 17

Thierry Desseauve: The fruit is a bit jammy; the body is not as taut as the best examples. 15

Michael Schuster: Sweetly ripe blackberry fruit to smell; firmly tannic middleweight, with plenty of ripe fruit of moderate complexity within the firm, slightly oak-dry tannin; generous, savory, satisfying, and with excellent fruit length. Chewy at the moment. 2016–26+. 16
