Michel Bettane: Open nose, good balance, round tannins, easy to understand and appreciate, no trace of overripeness, almost ready do drink. 16

Thierry Desseauve: Fresh nose, elegant aromas, supple body, with fine tannins. An archetype. 16

Michael Schuster: In the context of the vintage, a relatively easy, accessible, fresh, and flavory Pauillac; ripe without being obviously so, elegant, fresh, finely tannic, with a nice aromatic component and excellent length. Very good, without being grand. 2018–28. 15+
