Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Magnificent success, grand, noble aromatics, full and creamy body in a tactile sense, rich, complex flavors, harmony, elegant tannins, class and balance at the highest level. Bravo! | 18

Michael Schuster | Mid-purple; freshly ripe, mineral-backed fruit on the nose; elegant, harmonious, finely tannic wine of medium depth, with a lively acidity and moderate concentration; a very fine-grained texture, fresh and savory to taste, with nice length across the palate if of only moderate complexity and good, light, gravelly length. Dominated by red-fruit flavors but not mean or austere. | 16.5
