Super unique wine. Doesn’t give me Oregon PN vibes, but super tasty. The bright acidity even after 8yrs is almost Beaujolais like — 4 months ago

Somewhat of a departure from past vintages. Seems like less oak and less intervention. Expensive for what it is. Solid pairing with some gamey ass duck. (Terrible lighting) — 9 months ago

Simply fantastic. Picked this up in their shop in CNdP in the summer and it has been aged perfectly. Completely integrated and tonight singing as if its life depended on it! Dark brooding fruits with leather. Slight mushroom taste at the end. So impressive and went excellently with the slow cooked Spaghetti Bolognese — 2 years ago

It’s a night of consecutive first year decades, 90 & 80. Enjoyed in reverse order.

I had an 80 from Andy Beckstoffer’s cellar at Pebble Beach Food & Wine in April 24 with Andy & Tor Kenward. This library bottle I bought recently at K&L is better than what I had a Pebble. Just look at the cork!

Glorious mouth entry. Juicy, perfect, ripe fruit that shows age but it is not missing a step. Blackberries, black raspberries, dark, juicy, poached strawberries, baked rhubarb mid, dark cherries, candied raspberries to raspberry pudding. Just a touch of v/a, chocolate pudding/fudge, mocha, caramel, light, soft, sun tea, softened baking spices- cinnamon, clove, nutmeg & vanillin, some fresh & dry herbs, dark, rich soils with dry leaves, evolved, dark spices w/ some palate heat, dry top soil, limestone powder, hint of mint, with & fresh florals that are; dark, red, blue & liquid violets and lavender sprinkled in, perfect acidity and perfectly balanced, softly tensioned, knitted and a refined finish that lasts two-minutes.

This bottle is in a perfect spot & as good as it gets. Perfectly stored. It has another 5 years. Liquid, velvety tannins. One of the more perfect bottles I’ve had in 5-10 years.

Some wine shop described as “blackberry, liquorice, smoke, mint”. Usually find these descriptions BS but this one seemed about right. Really enjoyed this with fatty brisket braised with Mexican flavors. Yum. — a year ago

Notable from the first nose. Super fresh, then come the strawberry and cola. Fruit coming to life as it opens, mid/light body on palette. Best bottle of Ceritas I’ve opened. — a year ago
