Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: A smooth wine with delicate, enveloping tannins. But compared with the Phélan that we tasted immediately before it, not quite as elegant in terms of substance, texture, or flavor. 15.5
Michael Schuster: Dense, ripe blackberry fruit nose; crisply balanced, fairly concentrated red with lightly chewy, but not coarse, St-Estèphe tannin; fresh, open, easy, juicy fruit; pure, mineral-tinged, and appetizing. To start drinking in three years or so. 2012–20. 14.5/15+
