Michael Schuster | Dense and oaky on the nose, black- fruit dominated; very full, firmly tannic, and very marked by its acidity; this gives all the concentrated ripe black fruit a long and linear character, a great support to the wine, and a very nice definition to the finish; long and elegant and refined for the cru, and with great aromatic length. A lovely Pavie Macquin in its slightly sturdy style—indeed, maybe the best to date? But its structural combination of tannin and acidity mean it will be years in the mellowing. 2032–52+.
