Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red. Fresh, lively, elegant though now well-rounded and gentle, with some gingery spice to sweeten the fruits. Some mixed ripeness here. Curranty, fresh, and full, with classically bright, fresh blackcurrant fruits and nothing too tight or forbidding. The ripeness profile seems satisfactory on the palate, though it won’t be a long-term wine. Plenty of acidity does most of the structuring work. | 86

Michael Schuster | Gravelly nose; fresh, supple, and lightly tannic; dry, brisk, gently flavory claret with some complexity, a red-fruit-ripe flavor, and nice light length. Good rather than special, but an attractive glass of claret, drinkable now but no hurry. Now to 2030. | 88
