Michel Bettane: Dark-blue color, lovely violet-type nose, perfect body; easy and full, delicate tannin, intelligent extraction; lots of charm and character. Very severe selection and stunning harmony for the year! 17

Thierry Desseauve: Black and red berries, a bit of toast, the body is generous and in a classic Pomerol fit, but the tannins seem dry. A good “basic ++” Pomerol, with a real structure and length. Drink from 2 years to 10. 16.5

Michael Schuster: Light red fruit and gentle oak nose; medium-full, with a firm dry tannin around a light, crisp red fruit, quite juicy, gently oaky, nice light length; very pretty actually: nice lesser Pomerol. Drinkable now but no hurry. Now–2018. 15.5
