Michel Bettane: Not the biggest color, supple texture and middleweight body, integrated oak, unobtrusive tannins, not very complex but seductive. 16

Thierry Desseauve: Very fresh, floral and delicate nose, delicate body with silky tannins, freshness, not the deepest Pessac-Léognan of the tasting but a real finesse. 17

Michael Schuster: New wood dominates the nose at present; full-bodied, but not heavy, and with a very fine-grained tannin; gentle, ripe Graves fruit, a subtle minerality, nice length across the palate, if a touch warm on the finish, but with nice fruit persistence. The tannins will need some time to mellow. 2019–30. 16
