BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Darkish red; still very youthful, slightly raw, mineral-edged red-fruit nose; moderate concentration, clear Margaux delicacy, subtle and refined but with a lively acidity and firm tannin; sweetly ripe to taste, fragrant and fine-boned; long across the palate but currently just lacking a bit in real depth, projection of flavor, and intensity on the finish. Quality and finesse, nonetheless. 2022–40 17.5 /18?+
