Michael Schuster: Fine, dense, complex nose of ripe fruit and gravel; a grand-scale constitution, rich, generous, fresh, very finely tannic, a superb balance; a really rich ripeness of fruit, beautifully defined freshness, and a great concentration of aromas especially; a wonderful, velvety, mouth-coating quality, great complexity and tenacity of flavor and tremendous persistence of the subtly sweet fruit and St-Julien mineral aromas. An effortless baritone presence: first-growth quality. 2022–40+. 18.5/19

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Another masterpiece. All the power of the vintage combined with the complexity and subtlety of this amazing terroir have given birth to a grand vin—from the focused aromas, to the purity of the tannins. Bravo! 19.5
