BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Dark black-red in color. Rather a sloppy, casual aromatic profile that reminds me of lemon verbena, strangely enough. Brisk, mid-weight Pauillac, best drunk soon. 2017–20. 84

Michael Schuster: Light, cedary, claret nose; elegantly balanced, nicely concentrated, finely tannic; plenty of flavor here alongside the Pauillac sinew; flavorsome, satisfying, gently chewy, middle-rank Pauillac with a sweet, lively fruit, a moderate complexity, and nice gentle length. 2019–30+. 89
