BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: a bit more Merlot in the blend this year, and that very slightly herbaceous aroma that often points to pichon Lalande’s Merlot in a blind tasting... ripe and sweet, quite fleshy for the year, and with both a fine tannin and a not-too-obtrusive acidity; fine and complete for the reserve; complexity, density, and excellent aromatic length. a most successful, long-term réserve, with all the juiciness of the best of the year. 2020–30+. 16
