Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Succulent, savory, and harmonious—it expertly masks all of the severe aspects of the vintage. Long and deep. | 17

Michael Schuster | Very dark color for the vintage; ripe, blackberry, sweet fruit to smell, sweetly oaky; a medium-full, restrained style for the property, with the year’s vivid acidity and a touch of dry oak texture; fresh, flowing fruit, pure, vivid, nicely sustained to taste, and with a good ripe, red-fruit fragrant finish. Lacking the aromatic complexity of really fully ripe grapes, despite the prolonged harvest to the end of October. 2019–27. | 16
