Andrew Jefford | Dark though not opaque black-red. Fresh-ripe fruits in balanced and evolved style: simple but enticing. There’s some curranty freshness, depth of fruit and juicy, textured tannins that put this wine above its “entry-level” St-Emilion peers in this tasting. Enjoyable though for rapid drinking. | 86

Michael Schuster | Fairly closed, lightly mineral to smell; full, firmly tannic, ripe, sappy-tasting St-Emilion, with some length of flavor and good, light fragrant length. A bit of personality here, but this needs time to mellow or, in the shorter term, food with substance. 2024–30+. | 88
