Michael Schuster: Richly sweet and fragrant to smell; very nicely balanced, full-bodied, quite powerful St-Emilion, rich and finely tannic; full, fleshy, complex, and spicy; long across the palate, very sweet in flavor; warm, generous, and long in aftertaste; appealing already because of the ripeness of fruit, but will be better given time to harmonize. 2017–30+ 17.5
