Michel Bettane: Big color, very rich body, cooked nose, high alcohol content evident, very powerful, not the style I like, but impressive. 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Chocolate and black-fruit aromas, richness, ripe tannins, length, and elegance in a very powerful style: intense. 17

Michael Schuster: Ripe-fruited to smell; elegantly balanced second wine, firmly tannic, but without asperity, and with nice length across the palate, and to finish. The alcohol is still a little present on the firm, warm aftertaste. 2020–30. 15.5
