WINE SPECTATOR INSIDER – JAMES MOLESWORTH

$75 – 330 cs made 94 – Extremely dense, but silky in texture, with lush, velvety tannins carrying black tea, braised fig, mulled currant fruit, sandalwood and mineral notes, all backed by a twinge of shiso leaf on the dark, lengthy finish, which sports a nice encore of fruit and grip. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2010 through 2024.—J.M.
