Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Distinguished, elegant, and linear, but the wine has energy and great length. A truly noble wine. 17/17.5

Michael Schuster: The characteristic slightly herbaceous edge of Cabernet Sauvignon there to smell, but dense and fine; fairly rich, full, relatively supple medium-weight, with a fine-grained tannin (though currently a bit oak-dry) and a lively acidity; ripe, red-fruit flavor, a gently fleshy core within the fine tannin, more fragrance than density; quite complex and with fine, scented length. A rather restrained performance within the vintage but good all the same. 2018–30+. 16.5/17?
