Vinous provided a similar score range of 93-95 points, emphasizing the wine's fragrant nose with "dark berry fruit, orange pith, forest floor and hints of morels." Neal Martin remarked on the wine’s "focused and poised" palate, describing it as "medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins" and a "grittier texture towards the finish that fans out wonderfully with hints of Earl Grey and 5-spice."

Jasper Morris, reviewing for Inside Burgundy, awarded the wine 96 points, praising its "deep crimson purple" color and "delicious bouquet" that is "refined, delicate" with "red berry fruit, alpine strawberries." He noted the wine’s "excellent acidity" and "nuanced fruit," resulting in a "fine long finish" that is "graceful and stylish."
