Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. Warm, sweet, soft, exuberant, and warm: a very attractive aroma with only faint hints of leafiness and with impressive aromatic complexity. On the palate, too, this is soft and round and relatively friendly within its flight, with softer acidity and softer tannins, too, than most of its Margaux peers. 2018–23. 89

Michael Schuster: Light, sweet Merlot and mineral nose; medium-full, fresh, even, lightly tannic; easy, fairly supple, ripe-fruited wine, moderately complex and with nice, light length; pleasing, light, lesser claret, accessible early. 2016–28. 87
