Michel Bettane: Big color, very ripe, of course, but excellent balance; not open, but serious, for long aging, Cabernet Sauvignon well marked. Stylish Médoc. 17.5

Thierry Desseauve: Elegant and fresh Cabernet, superb balance, not spectacular but classic Margaux style, freshness, and length. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Very seductively ripe fruit to smell on the nose; elegant and harmonious balance in a slightly oak-dry textured style; but rich in fruit, long across the palate, long and aromatic to finish; a refined flavor here with, at the same time, a firmly oak-dry tannin texture, but with excellent fruit and aroma length on the finish. Very good, but pretty long-term. 2023–40+. 17.5
