Michael Schuster | Dense, noticeably gravel-backed, ripe black fruit, fresh, subtle, complex, multifaceted, a fine, promising young aroma; fairly full-bodied, elegant, firmly but finely tannic, an excellent long-term constitution; beautifully proportioned wine, rich without being particularly weighty or concentrated, gently fleshy, long and subtle to taste, freshly and sweetly ripe in flavor; refreshing, beverage claret of considerable finesse and scope; subtle, refined, very long to taste, absolutely even and harmonious across the palate, and with a fruit-filled finish to match. Lovely Cos, without being “grand” Cos. A beautiful, classical claret which, because of the fineness of its tannin texture, will be accessible with pleasure relatively early but which surely has a long-term future as well. 2029–45+.
