Michael Schuster | Lovely nose; dense, mineral-saturated, fine, discreet black fruit; very full, but not heavy, nicely defined by its acidity; a flavor with a marked mineral element behind the abundant fruit, complex across the palate, with an almost creamy character from the new oak and Merlot combination, then very long to finish. This will make a fine bottle given sufficient time. Like the Larcis Ducasse and the Pavie Macquin, the house style of winemaking means all the wines have a noticeable tannic structure to them, more than many these days. So, you need to like that per se or give them a fair amount of bottle-aging. 2032–55+.
