Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red, but without the saturation of some of its St-Estèphe non-cru classé peers. The aromas are more evolved, too, than for its peers, with a meaty mid-life warmth. Less leafiness than many; attractive, not least because of the gentle oak sweetening. Mid-length palate of classic commune style, both sensual (soft) yet austere (in flavor); just a touch medicinal to finish. 2017–21. 88

Michael Schuster: Black-olive tinged nose; medium-full, fresh, moderate concentration, light tannin; easy, supple, a gentle sweetness of flavor, modest complexity and length. Accessible early, pleasing, relatively supple, lesser St-Estèphe. 2016–22. 86
