Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red in color. Clean, frank, classical, and fresh in aromatic contour, without being enormously generous: everything you want, though, briskly resumed. On the palate, this is lively, clean, and curranty, acid-structured rather than tannic, with fair persistence. Juicy, fresh, and classic claret, crafted with a very sound hand, from better-than-average vineyards. Presumably top value. | 86

Michael Schuster | Lightly plummy, gravel-tinged nose; a fine-grained, fresh, supple midweight; sweet in fruit, easy, flowing flavor, modest in matter, but ripe and refreshing and with good length. Very drinkable! 2022–28+. | 87
