Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Exceptionally refined wine, powerful, with subtle flavors, long tannins—definitely one of the best wines of the past 30 years from this property. 17.5/18

Michael Schuster: Rich, blackcurrant, Cabernet nose; nicely but not excessively concentrated middleweight, generous, fleshy, fresh; a very fine-grained tannin around an abundantly, juicily, freshly ripe blackcurrant fruit; long, velvety, gracious, and subtly mouth-coating, with a fine gravel scent behind the ripe fruit and great length on the finish—as in the best of these wines, an extraordinary fruit length alongside the aromas. Tasty yet restrained splendor. 2020–35+. 17.5/18
