Michel Bettane: Very developed nose, mix of flower and leather, silky texture, serious tannin for aging, stylish. 17

Thierry Desseauve: A real delicacy in the definition, no thickness, no demonstrative hints of oak but a very pure wine, with the freshness of the grand terroirs of the St-Emilion plateau. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Densely sweet to smell; elegantly rich, medium-full wine, firmly tannic, classic proportions; ripe fruit within a firm frame with an attractive overall harmony and length. Should mellow very nicely over the long term. 2020–30+. 16.5
