Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red. Faintly vegetal aromas, though not unattractive. Close-knit on the palate, with more gathered force and texture than Couhins, and a more refined fruit style than La Garde, though there is still a sense of the vegetation behind and it seems to have been picked on the first cusp of ripeness. | 88

Michael Schuster | Lightly gravelly nose; medium-full, fresh, lightly tannic; gently tasty Graves, with a very nice length of flavor, not big, but long and savory and with excellent persistence. Classic, midweight Pessac-Léognan. 2024–34+. | 90
