The densely packed nose opens with a slight meaty, mushroomy funk, alongside green peppercorn and other savory spice. They dress the ripe dark berry fruit and violet-like florals. Powerful, savory tannins structure the luscious fruit on the palate. A big but balanced wine that would benefit from a decant now, but should age gracefully for several decades. Christina Pickard

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.
