Michael Schuster | Deep purple; so subtle to smell, yet so long and demanding of attention to fathom; rich, wonderfully fresh, finely firm in tannin; deep, sweet, vital, this, like the Clos de Vougeot, has a relatively firm constitution, and will need time; an indissoluble combination of fruit and fragrance, tight, closed, mouthcoating, endlessly tempting to explore, yet overall shy for the moment; less seductively ripe and come-hither than the Echézeaux, but even more abundant, complex, and complete in flavor, with an almost immeasurable persistence on the finish. A wine of extraordinary scope and beauty. 2030–50+. | 99–100
