Michael Schuster | Richly black-cherry ripe—sumptuous promise! Ample, generous, fresh, beautifully fine in tannin, a splendid balance; full of rich, black-fruit flavor, subtly mineral-etched, gently mouthcoating, long and graceful across the palate, close-grained, refined, richly satisfying and with great fruit-cored length. Impeccable oak handling here—imperceptible, as it should be. A wine saturated with flavor, scent, sensation, all displayed with effortless harmony. Grand and poised and wonderful. Glorious Pomerol. A most fitting, memorable final tribute to you, Denis. 2027–55+.
