Michael Schuster: A fine, fragrant, dense, and faintly gamey Merlot nose; rich and finely tannic; plenty of ripe fruit here, with a nice length of flavor and good, fragrant length to finish. Quite meaty Pomerol, classic proportions; not particularly refined, but solid and satisfying and will give plenty of slightly old-fashioned, solid Pomerol satisfaction for many years to come. 2024–35. 90
