Michael Schuster: Rich middleweight wine, gently muscular in style, with a firm but fine-grained tannin around a moderately concentrated fruit; pure and juicy in flavor, without being particularly fleshy, but long, ripe, gently rich, spicy, and complex; fresh and vital and with a long, lively, violet-scented finish. Fine, taut, well-defined rather than particularly fleshy Pomerol. Very nice but will need a bit of time. 2017–30. 16.5/16.5+
