BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Ripe, gently raisiny fruit on the nose, marked by new oak; full, concentrated, tannic; a particularly ripe, sweet fruit, pure, and fine, gripped by a very firm, oak-dry, tannin, and with excellent sweet, warm, perfumed length. Good wine, but you have to accept, and like, the very wood-dry texture as part of the deal! 2022–35+. 91
