Packs an alluring, winey feel, with a well of cassis and plum reduction laced with hints of cocoa, tobacco, and singed cedar. Picks up a cast iron note on the finish, giving this just a bit of muscle as the fruit plays out. Best from 2023 through 2036. —J.M.
What We Thought: A powerfully dramatic nose of cedar and cassis gives way to a robust, full-bodied, almost thick palate of ripe blackberry and black raspberry fruit, big notes of very dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of vanilla supported by supple but well-structured tannins.
