Mouthwatering
aromas of cherry, blackberry, blood orange zest and red plum are buoyed
by intriguing graphite, forest floor and earthy cherry tobacco scents.
The palate—lush and juicy—shows flavors of blackberry bramble, red
fruits, and hints of wet earth. Fruit and earth characters linger on the
palate through a long, beautifully balanced and textured finish, making
this wine both tremendously drinkable now while also another wonderful
candidate for additional years in the cellar.

Pure
and racy in feel, with lovely damson plum, bitter cherry and raspberry
notes flecked liberally with rooibos tea and savory details. Picks up
additional energy through the finish, with a grounding rod of minerality
that pulls everything to a pinpoint finish. Puts on weight as it airs,
too. Everything is there—now you just need to wait. Best from 2024
through 2038. From California.— J.M

A
beautiful red with fresh strawberry, lemon rind and some stones. Creamy
and clean. Medium-bodied with a layered yet fine-tannined texture and a
fresh finish. Very beautiful. Drink in 2024. — James Suckling
