Michael Schuster | Fresh, lightly mineral, blackberry-ripe nose, persistent and gently minerally; rich, supple yet fresh, super-fine in tannin; juicy, generous, ample, and fleshy, all nicely carried by its underlying defining acidity, long and subtle and gracious to taste, with a very nice length of flavor, and a fine persistence of aftertaste. Deliciously fleshy, and flattering in the year and the St-Julien context. This and the Gloria make a lovely pair. 2028–45+.
