Michel Bettane: Not the biggest color, nor the biggest body; supple, elegant tobacco-like nose, lacks complexity and density of texture, but easy to drink for the vintage. Will help while waiting the blockbusters. 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Classic, balanced, fruity, not very impressive but well made. 16

Michael Schuster: Generous fruit, firm tannin, brisk, juicy St-Estèphe, with some complexity and good fruit persistence, which will make an attractive accompaniment to fairly rich fare at table. 2018–26+. 15.5
