BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Ripe, faintly raisiny fruit, and light new oak on the nose; fairly full, firmly tannic; plenty of juicily ripe fruit here, within a firm grape-and-new-wood tannin; succulent, sappy; also dry-edged and with a nice, gently perfumed fruit length. Not much complexity, but with protein-rich food this will be very attractive. 2019–30. 87
