BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Dark, brick-rimmed mahogany; a ripe-fruited, complex bouquet, touched with mineral, caramel, eucalyptus; rich, silky, finely tannic wine; deep, sweet, juicy, and forceful in flavor, long in the mouth and long to finish; warm, complete, and splendid. This is great La Mission, with much more matter, presence, scope, and finesse than the 1982. An already joyous present; a long illustrious future. Now to 2030+. 19.5
