BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Turbid mid-gold; a citrus, honey, and mineral nose of great definition; beautifully balanced, very elegant, intensely liquorous and concentrated, yet very refined as well; succulently racy and very long in the mouth; mouthcoating yet without heaviness and noticeably marked by botrytis spice complexity; a wine of great intensity, class, and poise with lovely length. A superb, effortless Rieussec. 2012–40+. 18.5+
