Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red. Warm, plump, and exuberant in scent, with ample ripeness, soft oak, and plenty of suggested flesh: an opulence rare in Pessac. Vivid and mouthfilling on the palate, built on a core of firmly stated fruits. Perhaps a little less opulent on the palate than the nose suggested, but this generously constructed wine will still provide much pleasure. | 87

Michael Schuster | Closed and restrained to smell; medium-full, fresh in acidity, light and fine in tannin; ripe, easy, flowing wine, succulent and juicy, modest in scope, but with nice length, and with plenty of easy, basic appeal. Now to 2025+. | 87
