Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: It’s ripe, stylish, and radiant: here’s a wine with outward charm, which is rare in this vintage. the tannins aren’t as refined as they are in the best vintages, but the substance is there. deep. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Soft, fragrant nose; a full and particularly structured tertre roteboeuf, with a very fine but very firm tannin and fresh acidity surrounding the prolonged, sweet, delicate fruit center; graceful and fine within, a bit forbidding in texture, though with lovely length. Like the Roc de Cambes, one for the relatively long haul. 2025–40. 17.5
