Michael Schuster | Oaky to smell; rich, full, fresh, a very nice balance at its highish alcohol; despite a touch of warmth on the palate, this is a very nice medium-full St-Emilion impression, with a delicious freshness, a lovely, rich, slightly oaky, house-style fruit, sapid, tasty, moderately complex, but with nice length, of flavor and of finish. Quite powerful, yes, but not too much in its plump and oaky style. Will need a bit of time, but be very satisfying. 2027–40+.
