Andrew Jefford | Saturated, dark black-red: a very ambitious looking Sansonnet. Warm, lively, and sweet- edged, with lots of rich, chocolaty fruits; well judged though ample oak. The palate is lively, with vivid, juicy acidity, as well as some brisk tannin to shape and cosset this fresh plum. Exuberant, dense, and lively St-Emilion for the short to medium term. | 88

Michael Schuster | Very ripe in fruit to smell; very full, fairly tannic; sweet to taste, fairly straightforward in character with, for the moment anyway, a tannin which is rather dominant for the available fruit, nice light length, but needing protein-rich food for sure. Now to 2028. | 88
