Michael Schuster | Black-fruit ripe and dense to smell, but very mineral, too; concentrated and vital, finely firm in tannin, tauter structured than Duhart- Milon; both sweet and crisply ripe in flavor, close-knit, long to taste, dense, linear, long, and complex to taste, a second wine of real class and poise with, here too, beautifully integrated tannins and acidity; an almost fleshy impression and with lovely, gentle, fragrant length. A particularly successful Carruades. Very fine, very “Lafite.” 2030–50+.
