Michel Bettane: Good color, very young on the nose, less evolved than most of the others, excellent body, subtle spicy elements in the tannin, dense, noble. Wait 8–10 years. 17

Thierry Desseauve: Very elegant bright purple color. Red fruit, fine toast, linear, and elegant body, fine tannin, great length. Aristocratic and brilliant. Wait 10 years. 18

Michael Schuster: A fine, sweet, rich, scented nose, blackberry and cassis; very nicely balanced, rich, fresh, finely tannic wine; a sweet, red fruit core here, quite fleshy within the refined, slightly oak dry tannin, and with a lovely cassis persistence; excellent concentration, fine length, a complete and vivid Pomerol. Lovely Conseillante. Needs 3–4 years. 2014–24+. 18
