Michael Schuster | Dense, mineral, gently oaky to smell, as always so subtle, fine, demanding of attention; fresh, concentrated, super-fine in tannin texture, a gloriously harmonious balance; sweet, succulent, aromatically complex and refined, gently fleshy yet so fresh tasting, very long across the palate, softly mouth-coating, so full of delicate perfume, and intense yet so subtle cassis fruit, and withaterrific farewell of fruit and mineral aromas. A seductively complete and classic beauty, a discreet power, an effortlessly serene and polished performance, a top Lafite. And all the more remarkable at under 13% ABV! 2036–60+.
