Dark stones and graphite with black cherries and espresso, as well as very complex, woody spices and iodine. This is so intense and so seamlessly rich. The ripe blackberries and dark plums are so deeply captured. Essence-like. The tannins are substantial but supple; the rich black cherry and dark chocolate flavors are just superb. So long, so dense and so very, very impressive. Best from 2025. – J.S.
