BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane: Dark blue color, slightly burned nose, silky texture, some lack of freshness. 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Dark color, mellow and burned nose, sweet texture, soft tannins, good length. 16.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe and oaky on the nose; a full-bodied, firm, finely tannic wine, with plenty of ripe fruit within the firm tannic frame; long and aromatic to taste within its overall firmness of texture, and with fine length of aftertaste. Lovely Branaire, ideally leave 10 years! 2022–35+. 17
