BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Seductively ripe, sweet fruit on the nose; nicely balanced in the bright, fresh style of many wines of the year, with a lively acidity and light, dry tannin; typical Carruades—easy, fluid, open, straightforward fruity core with a warm, gently spicy length. Drinkable relatively early. 2015–25. 15/15+
