Michel Bettane: Big color, high alcohol content, supple; not very well focused for the moment. 14.5

Thierry Desseauve: Fat and generous, supple body, easy to drink but far from unforgettable. 14

Michael Schuster: New oak-tinged, very ripe fruit on the nose; and very ripe to taste, too; full, warm, moderately tannic Graves, attractively juicy (as so many are), with a nice length of flavor and finish. Seductive, for sure, but still with quite a bit of dry oak-tannin to absorb over the coming years. 2020–30+. 16
