Michael Schuster: Fine nose of concentrated, ripe red and black fruit, very mineral; lovely balance, an elegant, moderately concentrated middleweight, with fine tannin and no asperity; fresh and with a juicily ripe raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, not that concentrated, but classy and refined, long and even, gently aromatic and complex, with a lovely Médoc gravel element and excellent length. A beautiful, flowing, refreshing, complete claret, with plenty to offer; an easy, refined beverage, not massive, but effortless and very good. A very natural feel to this, should be most gratifying. 2017–30. 16/16.5+

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Delicate and straightforward nose, hints of cassis, good depth, suave on the palate, with nice fruit, smooth, with serious, firm tannins on the finish. 16
