Michael Schuster | Fresh ripe black fruit to smell, subtly mineral and persistent; rich but restrained, naturally fresh, very fine in a light dry tannin, a really lovely balance; long and sweet and fresh and graceful, subtle, so transparent, and with beautiful length and scent to finish. A real beauty, grace, finesse, transparency, completeness. Just gorgeous. I wouldn’t have thought this possible; it is batting way above its league. The best Joanin Bécot ever made? Probably drinkable from the moment it is bottled. 2023–35+.
