Michael Schuster | Lovely minerally, gravelly nose, with dense soft blackcurrant fruit, and a gently oakiness, very nice indeed; rich, vivid in acidity, finely, firmly tannic; a gently sinewy Margaux constitution, deep, sapid, vital wine, vigorous, red and black- fruit ripe, subtly mineral in aromas, spicy, complex, and with terrific length. Like the La Gurgue, not exactly polished, that’s not the aim, but not without a certain elegance, and brimming with “character.” I love the “sappy” quality here. Great proof, if it were needed, of the success of Claire Lurton’s biodynamic practice. 2028–44+.
