BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Mid-color, a touch of brick at the rim; already a cassis sweetness to smell—will make a very stylish and seductive bouquet; middleweight balance, moderate concentration, fresh in acidity, ripe in fruit, fine and gentle in tannin; long, easy, graceful taste, but complex and aromatic, too; no hard work, no asperity, finesse, scent, gentle, aromatic length. Very Graves in character, and the softer tannins mean that it will need only another 6–8 years. 2015–30. 16.5/17
