As you might expect from a wine labeled for its aging in brandy barrels, this is a bit lactic and heavy throughout. Aromas of licorice and aged cheese blend with minerally berry scents, while this blend of Garnacha and Carignan is stacked on the palate but not outright heavy. Blackberry, pepper, baking spice and vanilla flavors finish with power. Drink through 2027. Michael Schachner

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
