BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Nice fruit and mineral nose; fairly full, fresh, firm in tannin; an attractively ripe fruit, but a slightly old-fashioned “dry” style of flavor, with tannins a bit on the rustic side; some complexity, and good length, but will need protein rich food to absorb its chewier side. Not to the modern taste, perhaps, but good nonetheless. 2024–35. 89
