BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Sweet and crisply ripe to smell; freshly rich middleweight wine with a fine tannin; but long and ripe and refined flavor; warm, dense, gently fleshy, quite complex and tenacious across the palate, particularly crisp and pristine in taste, rather than dense or fat; but juicy, aromatic, complete, and with good, light length. A fine rather than a great La Fleur-Pétrus. 2018–30. 16.5/17+

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: One of the great wines from the Moueix portfolio (who, all in all, was very successful in this vintage). The wine is linear and straightforward, long but not heavy, very well balanced. 17.5
