78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec.

22 months in 50% new French Oak. 14.5% ABV.

OB94, WE93.

This tastes more like a Left Bank Bordeaux than a straight Cab. It is thoroughly enjoyable with buoyant fruit, lively acids and rich oak.

BlackBerry, cherry, cloves, black tea, heaping of spices, rich integrated oak.

Equal parts fun and serious. Good Walla Walla red wine. — 2 months ago

Gorgeously floral nose. Unreal mid season cherries with such lift and clarity. Wow. So clean. Gorgeous spices as well. Palate is juicy and clean. Sappy, pure and clean. Just a great and classic bottle of Liaison. Wispy tannins. Excited to see how this develops. After 24 hours nose is so deep and has great roses and violets. High toned mid season cherry. Really pretty. Terrific spice and only a tiny VA that just adds and does subtract. Palate is juicy and lean. Clean and classic. So linear and clear. Such great mid season cherry fruit. Nimble and not as powerful as recent vintages. — 2 years ago

Fresh and elegant, fruit forward with low tannins. Good acidity balances out the 15% alcohol. Tasted even better day 2 — 6 years ago

Caught it at a good time in its life. A little reluctant at first, but opened up beautifully. Good structure, still plenty of fruit left, and nice oak spice. — 7 years ago

Pungent, interesting wine. Crushed flowers, overly ripe plum, sour cherries, ripe raspberries, maybe bark. Astringent. Serious wine. Open this way in advance. — 3 months ago

I love it. Carnal, wild - my favorite of Bea’s reds as the alcohol is balanced. VA is present and borders on too much but doesn’t get there — 6 years ago

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2018 Rosso de Véo pours a deep garnet with wild dark fruit, high end dark dark chocolate cherry cordial, some VA giving it some balsamic notes. Sanguine with high tannin. Loving it with the pork ragu lasagnette made with semolina flour from the Bea farm. Drink now with patience, through 2038. Bottle No. 77/4626 — 5 months ago
