Michael Schuster | Red-hued mid-purple; very dense on the nose, intense, concentrated, crisply red-fruit ripe, with a marked earthy minerality; rich, vital, firmly tannic; a splendid concentration of crisply ripe red-cherry fruit, intense, vital, tenacious, with a clear but fine- spun sinew, gently chewy, and overall a glorious sense of vitality and vigor. A moving wine to taste, with a most satisfying sappiness of flavor; an exciting expression of this so variable appellation. Splendid. 2033–53+. | 96–97
