Michel Bettane: Very oaky—but seductive because of that. Silky texture, refined tannins, excellent length: well made. 17

Thierry Desseauve: Very fine tannins, brilliant and light definition, delicacy and perfume. Not the strongest wine, but one of the finest. 17.5

Michael Schuster: Sweetly ripe and oaky/cedary to smell; nicely balanced, elegant, even wine, with a fine, firm tannin; ripe, gently complex, long to taste, and with a fine length to finish; very nice middle-rank St-Emilion. 2018–30. 16.5
