Michael Schuster | An impressive black-red. Dense, if still fairly closed, but a fine, contained, blackberry -ripe, subtly mineral fragrant nose; full-bodied, concentrated wine, with a freshly defining acidity, and very fine-textured tannin, a lovely long-term balance; richly ripe in flavor, dense, both fleshy and finely defined at once, particularly mineral, almost gravelly, in aromas behind the sumptuous ripe fruit; long across the palate, very gently sinewy in structure; complex, sustained, a hint of clayey substance (not something one has normally associated with Conseillante) and great fruit-fragrant length to finish. An imposing yet still typically contained and elegant Conseillante. A further cementing of 2018’s more “substantial” interpretation of the terroir. Fine, long-term wine. Chapeau! 2034–50+.
