Michel Bettane: Deep color, ripe nose, full texture, round but slightly “hot” with more than a hint of sunny Merlot. Comfortable but not really complex. 15

Thierry Desseauve: Deep but not very young color. Wood aromas, ripe tannins, powerful, with a lack of finesse. Classic and generous. 14

Michael Schuster: Minerally Cabernet nose; medium full, finely tannic, fresh in acidity; nice ripe fruit to taste, good lesser Médoc. 2016–22+. 14
