Andrew Jefford | Dark, promising black-red in color, though with some faint grassiness on the nose; lacks the harmonious ripeness of the very best. Light and darting on the palate. | 83

Michael Schuster | Quite closed to smell, but a sense of “generosity” all the same, plus a hint of gravel; full, nicely concentrated, fresh in acidity, finely firm in tannin, a fine Graves balance; plenty of matter without excess here, succulent, gently mineral- infused, with a nice length of flavor and finish. Very successful La Garde. 2022–32+. | 90
