Michael Schuster | Dense, fresh, wild rose floral-tinged blackberry Merlot; rich, vividly fresh, finely tannic; a lovely generosity of fruit, vividly defined, taut, lightly mineral-tinged, quite firm in tannin for the moment, long and elegant and plush within the frame, gently complex, gently warm, long and sweet to finish. Another lovely expression of Pomerol. Sweeter than Lagrange à Pomerol if not quite as dense—perhaps a touch juicier—but this is splitting hairs to compare. 2027–37+.
