Michael Schuster | Mid-purple; ripe black fruit to smell; rich, generous, fleshy, ample, fresh, and very finely tannic, a most flattering Clos de Vougeot constitution. Deep, ripe, succulent, long and satisfying flavor, subtly mouthcoating, a perfect expression of Burgundian power and delicacy, prolonged to taste, racy, complex, penetrating, with an immediate and clear impression of grand cru scope; a lovely tenacity across the palate, and a great, resonant aftertaste, a real peacock’s tail. Splendid Clos Vougeot! The first year of this wine, just three barrels, from a former Liger-Belair holding, mid-slope on the Vosne side. 2030–45+. | 95–96
