This was really outstanding. Held on to one bottle and wished I had held more. That's ok because the quality is consistent across vintages. I haven't splurged on any of the more expensive bottlings from Bevan but I may have to in the future.

This bottle was in great condition. The top 3/4 of the cork pretty much disintegrated but that last bit came out clean without much falling in the bottle. Beautiful red color with no evidence of color change or bricking. Tannins were still present to give support to lovely ripe red fruits. Just the slightest hints of age on the palate. This bottle could have gone for many more years. I live in a small house in a big city with limited storage so I don’t usually buy more than a couple bottles of any one wine for long term storage but I wish I had more bottles like this one.

This was simply fantastic. So much flavor without any heaviness. Not even the slightest hint of alcoholic burn considering it's 15%. there is no shame in opening it now but it will certainly keep.
