Menthol, ripe black-skinned berry, iris and oak-driven spice aromas take shape in the glass. The full-bodied, elegantly structured palate showcases ripe Morello cherry, orange zest and licorice before closing on a note of roasted coffee bean. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide firm support while surprisingly fresh acidity for the hot vintage keeps it balanced. Drink 2023–2029. Kerin O’Keefe
