Michael Schuster: Clean, pure, fresh-sweet ripe fruit; nicely balanced mid-weight, without the immediate sweet fruit charm of the Lacoste-borie, and with a firmer, but not excessive, light, dry tannin and softly fresh acidity; freshly ripe and mineral in taste, with moderate complexity, but a very nice gravel- and-fruit-scented length. pure, gently gravelly, complete haut-batailley in a lighter style. 2018–28. 16
