There’s a pure core of fresh blackberry, crunchy plum, and violet in this vibrant version, with the subtlest brushing of vanilla. Layers of graphite and fine-grained tannins provide a solid framework. Compact, with savory details emerging toward the solid, medium-bodied finish, which is grounded in salty mineral notes and a waft of alder smoke. Drink now through 2028. —K.B.
What We Thought: A big Rhônish nose filled with dark berries and spice leads to a thick, full-bodied palate of ripe black raspberry with notes of dark chocolate and a touch of licorice, finishing with very supple tannins.
