BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Dark, saturated black-red. Sweet blackcurrant fruit prodded into place with plenty of juicy oak. Concentrated, fresh, and foursquare Pauillac that will leave drinkers amply satisfied. This is a low-acid effort of admirable ripeness but only moderate aromatic finesse, but I’d love to get stuck into a bottle tonight. 2017–21. 89

Michael Schuster: Dense, fine, aromatic, gently minerally, very faintly leafy nose; medium-full, fresh, finely tannic; light and brisk in Cabernet flavor, quite firm in tannin texture, with both complexity and length; gently firm, flavorsome Pauillac with both finesse and length, needing a few years. 2020–30+. 90
