BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Mid-color; fine scent, sweet raspberry and cassis, Graves minerals, persistent and glass-filling; a relatively supple, elegant, middleweight wine, with a fine, almost fully resolved tannin; long, crisply ripe and fresh to taste; not a lot of matter but plenty of satisfying scent; similar in weight and style to the 2004, but this just has the edge, with a little more aromatic matter. Elegant, harmonious, flowing. 2012–25. 17
