Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: D eep color, tight and serious, elegant tannins, more austere than previously: a classic Medoc style that needs time! 16.5

Michael Schuster: Finely dry tannin around an easy, flowing, freshly ripe, juicy fruit; very fine, very Margauxesque; elegant, even, polished; long and harmonious to taste, with no excess tannin and fine aromatic length. a wine of both charm and presence, very intelligently vinified in the year, which will come round a bit earlier than usual. a real success. 2018–30. 17
