Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red. The attractive, enticing aromas of this wine share little of the mintiness that characterizes its stablemate Langoa; while fresh, this has sweet blackcurrant and blueberry. Lifted and pure, graceful and true. On the palate, this is medium-bodied, medium-textured, and with moderate concentration. The acidity is vivid and fresh, and the tannins are relatively submissive and supple. All of the drinkability always prized by Anthony Barton is here, in fresh and lively guise: an enticing mid-term wine for those with classical tastes. | 91

Michael Schuster | Closed, but gently ripe-fruited nose; medium-full wine, fresh, finely but firmly tannic; deep, savory, freshly ripe-fruited, tannin-framed wine, complex, aromatic, long across the palate, and long to finish. Top St-Julien but, typically, a very long-term wine, too. 2030–45+. | 93
