Michael Schuster | Freshly ripe, quite intense, a crisp black-fruit nose, and yet clearly a warm vintage character; full, vital in acidity, moderately firm in fine tannin, with an excellent fruit concentration; an attractive length across the palate, with a very sapid quality of tannin, and a very nice fragrant black-fruit persistence. An excellent LTF, which will need a few years to polish but which, as so often, one could drink with pleasure relatively early, too. 2026–40+.
