Michel Bettane: Lighter color than Fontenil, spicy nose, less ripe, more spicy; trace of not very refined oak, texture less complete, less severe selection, but nice; decent expression of the place and the vintage; not for long aging. 13

Thierry Desseauve: Dark red, brilliant color, red fruit, good acidity, and well balanced; a fine style based on freshness more than power. From now to 5 years. 15.5

Michael Schuster: Light, minerally nose; fresh, modest, lightweight, light tannin; pleasant, lively red-fruit flavor for early drinking; modest complexity, nice light length. Ready. Now–2014. 14
