A little shy to begin, the 2021 The Benbournie opens up to deliver generous aromas of blackcurrant and dried herbs with mineral tones, plus a well-integrated oak frame. Firm, chunky, and still tightly wound, it displays a balanced thread of flavor and structure with an aged savory cigar box just starting to emerge to add detail. Good density of fruit and structure. The savory cigar box just stays to emerge over a solid finish. Angus Hughson, Vinous
