BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Seductive, sweetly ripe cassis nose to smell; rich and ample and fleshy Pomerol, with a firmly tannic frame, but long and sweet and complex within this, and with excellent, spicy length; very good, but this is a firm, sinewy, long-term wine, needing another 8 years in bottle at least. Even better with less new oak? 2020–30+ 17 ?
