Andrew Jefford | Red-black, but translucent now. Vividly fruity aromas in best Pomerol plum-pie style. That’s what you’ll find on the palate, too. Straightforward and accessible, ready for broaching soon. | 85

Michael Schuster | Light cassis fruit and mineral, early bouquet impressions; full, fresh, finely but chewily tannic; on the more powerful side, in the Bordeaux context, but with freshly defined, juicy ripe fruit of moderate complexity and good, light length. Satisfying mid-rank Pomerol, accessible early with richer fare, but which will doubtless also reward a decade and more in the cellar. Now to 2030. | 89
