  Multiple tastings with consistent notes. Quite outstanding. It showed no signs of decline, could have used another couple of years in the cellar.

  First of these I’ve had…damn Russell!!! I love this balance of maturity and verve here! Drinking very well as a PnP but slow ox helps show depth of fruit (yes this wine gains youth with some time to breathe, like a beautiful woman stretching her legs before a dance. Why did I only buy three of these?!?!

  Starting to wonder about longevity of Bevan wines, I’ve had more than my share of bad bottles at 9+ yrs.

  2 hr slow ox did the trick this time. This was between the ethereal experience two bottles ago and the flawed mess last time. Seems to be quite a bit of bottle variation. This bottle was delicious but past peak. Ripe without being over the top, it lacked the verve I usually find in the EEs. Black cherry, black raspberry and faint blood iron glide over the palate but lacked the complexity I otherwise find in this blend that make it stand out year after year. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed this bottle. One bottle remains that I will drink soon and move on to 13s/14s/15s.
