Michael Schuster: Dense, slightly extracty style to smell; rich, concentrated, ample, and particularly structured wine, with a vigorous acidity, too; ripe-fruited and linear within the tannin frame; very long and lively on the finish, complete wine in a very muscular expression of the vintage; elegant but severe for the moment. Bruno Eynard deliberately vinified in order to make a structured wine that would mark an exceptional vintage. His comparison is 1990. I’m not so sure about that, but I’m pretty sure it will need 10–15 years before we get any real idea as to how it will age. 2022–35+. 16.5/17
