On the nose and visually, this appears not to have budged. The nose is dominated with sandalwood and cinnamon. Palette is unctuously sweet. It's dense and has the viscosity of diesel. Finishes long and sweet. Excellent

Funk city, mushrooms and forest floor galore in the nose on this one. The palate adds savory notes and spice, dill. Not that much time left here, drink up in 2-3.

Over the years this has been one of my favorite bottlings from Beringer, but it has finally hit that peak and is on the sunset side of its life.

Best merlot I've had in a while. Good acid, tannin. Unexpected complexity.

As good as any Merlot in the world gets. These Bancroft ranch Merlots seem like they age beautifully for ever.
