Michael Schuster | Dense, faintly herbal, black-fruit ripe; rich and full and firmly tannic, still a touch sturdy, though so much finer than it used to be; freshly sweet, plenty of matter, quite complex, a mass of fruit there within its firm frame, and with good, light, fragrant length. Fine wine, and there will be many to whom it will give a great deal of pleasure, though it seems, in the context of much of Bordeaux’s current emphasis on finesse of textures, perhaps a touch old-fashioned, solid. A question of taste—and trend? It will need a decade and some, at least. 2032–50+.
