BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Dark, brick-edged color; very undergrowth-and-truffle nose, but sweet, too; nicely balanced, still fresh, a wine with some scope to it, and length, too; harmonious and complete at a lesser level. Very nice, and quite the best wine of this flight. Time to drink, but also time in hand. Now to 2012. 15.5+
