Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Nicely defined, harmonious, and deep, with real tannic finesse and seductively ripe fruit, racy, svelte palate, direct and clean. | 17.5

Michael Schuster | A fine, fragrant nose of fresh red and black fruit, with its oak a little present; elegant, moderately concentrated wine, with a fresh acidity and fine dry tannin; sweet and gently rich, gently racy to taste, long and subtly complex across the palate; not big or fleshy or concentrated, but sweetly ripe and fine, and with lovely scented length. This should make a most seductive bottle relatively early. 2018–28. | 16.5
