This has a densely packed core of vivid red and black currant and mulberry fruit, which is encased for now in a mix of charcoal, cast iron, singed mesquite, and apple wood. Shows terrific drive, though, and everything is in proportion, with an echo of violet hinting at some inner purity. Best from 2024 through 2040. —J.M.
