Michel Bettane: Round and spicy on the nose, excellent balance, tobacco-like tannins, precise, intelligently made. 16.5

Thierry Desseauve: Well balanced, fruity, supple but strongly built, good length; keep five years. 16

Michael Schuster: Very ripe-fruited to smell; rich, ripe, chunky, tannic cru bourgeois, not bad now, with the requisite substantial food, but even better in 3–5 years; 2016–26+. 14.5
