Michel Bettane: Good color, nice body, but lacking energy and precise focus, with tannins better than texture. 15.5

Thierry Desseauve: Generously built, very ripe nose, comfortable. 15.5

Michael Schuster: Light oak and mineral nose; fairly full, fresh, sweet, gently tannic and lightly oaky red-fruit flavor; of moderate complexity, with nice light length, and it wears its oak and alcohol with ease. Drinkable within a few years. 2015–22+. 14.5
