Michael Schuster: Sweet and freshly ripe to smell; plush and fresh middleweight balance, with a fine, dry tannin frame; juicily ripe fruit, with a marked spiciness and distinct warmth—long and complex and vividly spicy flavor; a distinctive combination of ripeness and freshness; quite powerful, but discreet at the same time; a fine, fragrant finish. Delightful fruit but quite a firm frame; will need time. 2019–30+. 17+/17.5
