BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster | Black-fruit ripe, but with the gravel aromas still there, too; rich, lively, finely tannic, a very nice balance; abundant in fruit, mineral-backed, long and juicy, with a freshly defining acidity, and a very fine tannin texture, intense in flavor, a touch of “super-ripeness” and alcohol warmth, but complete, long, and mineral to finish, and very good. One of the best Carbonnieux reds for years. 2028–38+.
