Michel Bettane: Spicy Cabernet Sauvignon nose, lean body, strict but not tiring, not excessive in alcohol, built for aging. 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Colored, oaky, spicy, rich, and powerful, good length. 16.5

Michael Schuster: Ripe-fruit nose; medium-bodied, classically proportioned wine, lightly tannic, fresh, gentle flavor, gently minerally to taste, moderately complex, with good, light length. Easy, accessible early, not grand, but a good glass of middle-rank Claret. 2015–22+. 15.5
