Finesse and power are captured in this bottle. On the nose, aromas suggest black and red currant, violets, dried rosemary, sedimentary rock, and vanilla bean. The supple palate offers flavors of blackberry, dark plum, sage, and cocoa powder. Tannins are balanced and firm, while the finish is silky and long. A wine for Zin lovers. Hidden Gem. —T.P.
