BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Dark purple; dense, youthful nose, minerals and new oak; concentrated, elegant, firm in tannin and in acidity; crisply ripe fruit; long-haul balance; prolonged and austere to taste, but plenty of matter; complex, complete, long in the mouth, long and aromatic to finish. Needs 15 years at least. A splendid La Mission. 2022–40+. 18.5
