Michael Schuster: On the nose, the rich, faintly roasted character that one gets in very ripe vintages (’82/’89) but minerality as well; full, weighty, mouth-filling wine, with very firm tannins; sweet, ripe, blackberry fruit; rich, warm, ripe, and mouth-filling, alcoholic warmth up-front and on the finish, moderate complexity and good length—warm and spicy. Large-scale Chapelle de La Mission. Fairly long term—10 years plus? 2020–30. 15.5/16
