BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep though not opaque black-red. Quite mature scents already: meat stock and secondary, softening fruits, though not unattractive. On the palate, too, this is an early-maturing wine in rustic style, though generously proportioned. | 88

Michael Schuster | Light blackcurrant and oak-cedar nose; rich medium-bodied wine, fresh to lively in acidity, finely chewy in tannin, classic Pauillac proportions; brisk in flavor, solid, savory, satisfying mid-rank claret for rich fare, but ideally needing time to yield and mellow. 2026–36+. | 89
