Aromas of scorched earth, French oak and menthol lead the way along with a whiff of blue flower. On the structured palate, notes of cocoa, vanilla and licorice accent a core of dried black cherry before an espresso finish. Assertive close-grained tannins provide the backbone a firm, mouth-drying finish. Drink 2026–2036. Kerin O’Keefe
