Michael Schuster | Orange-hued gold; very candied fruit, citrus zest, and botrytis musk; spice and concentration to smell; rich, concentrated, intensely sweet, luscious, and liquorous wine, with the typical concentration of botrytized grapes; very aromatic, markedly citrus-zest fresh in flavor (new oak imperceptible, incidentally); intense, luscious, vital up front, and with fine length. Quite delicious; wears its sweetness very lightly; refined, gently racy, and beautifully silken-textured, but without the inner energy, tenacity of flavor, and absolute flair of a really top Yquem vintage such as 2009 or 2001. | 18.5
