I must have sniffed the glass 4-5x before I put the wine in my mouth. Funk , in the best sense of the word , leather , cured meat and old furniture . When I finally tasted , the complexity of flavors were head spinning. A melange of flowers , spices , game, red fruit and some dark fruit . Reminds me of some aged Burgundy and Barolo that I have consumed. What I imagine being on LSD would be like, hopefully there are flashbacks. An amazing trip ! — 4 years ago

Beautiful, elegant, graceful, lengthy and expressive. Silky across the palate and carries its oak so well, drinking beautifully right now. Perfumed nose of sandalwood, sweet wood smoke, bbq bacon, leaves, cigar box, leather, violet, talcum, melange of just ripe red/black berry fruits with some hints of dried character, and asian spices. Seamless from front to back. Anniversary 10.11.19 — 7 years ago

This was pretty plush, but a tad too much oak for me. — 8 years ago

Poured into a decanter about two hours prior to dinner. There was some decent sediment so I left the last ounce or so in the bottle. In the glass, the 2018 pours a deep ruby with a translucent core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, this is absolutely gorgeous with heady notes of fresh ripe blackberries, black cherries, pomegranate molasses, tobacco, black pepper, some dry earth and beautiful integrated baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Beautifully balanced. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and has a satisfying melange of fruit and spice. This is fabulous with some air right now but I expect it will age beautifully through 2038. — 2 years ago

9.1

Unpinot-esque. Super rich on the nose with winter warming spices, cinnamon and dates. blueberries with a richness on the palate, quite rich with a heap of vanilla and oaky tannins on the finish. A unique style in its own right, not necessarily something I would hold up as a shining example but certainly a well done bit of Marlborough. — 7 years ago

A Bevan BIG sauv blanc. Melange of tropical fruit, well integrated already. For its size and roundness, this still drinks well on a hot summer day. — 8 years ago
