Lots of VA on the nose. Bold and intense with notes of dark cherry, herbs, and oak. Strong tannins smooth out pretty quickly. A streak of acidity makes for a well-balanced and nicely-structured wine. Purchased at Popina in Brooklyn, NY. — 4 days ago

Opened a hour before drinking. Cherry, plum, and leather notes with firm tannins still. No rush to drink. — a month ago

Opens up after an initial showing of cinnamon, clove, anise, coriander, lavender, and dark dried fruits, presenting with BIG black cherry, much more fruit than other Bea wines. Hugely tannic on the palate to match, showing massive structure that would ensure this wine could lay down for another ten years, no sweat. Along with the rustic oak and grapeskin, the tannins bring bushels of potpourri and sage. Leaps out of the glass, hugely assertive on the nose. Continued to develop for 4 hours or so, eventually also revealing rooty, vegetal notes reminiscent of beets. A real stunner. — a month ago

Perfume on the nose, dried cherry, blackberry on the palate, lots of tannins that’s paired well with a little acid and fat in our food. — 25 days ago

2008. A unique wine. First time trying this varietal. Earthy nose and flavors initially. Then dark fruit flavors with a licorice finish. Needed some time to breath before drinking. — a month ago
