  If you drink it soon, the wine needs a decant as it took a couple hour to come together.
  
  Otherwise, once the oak integrated, it was a nice mix of black cherry, cassis, and bitter cherry along with tobacco, earth, and oak notes on a svelte frame. Just enough acidity to keep it fresh.
  
  This wine is just entering its prime drinking window, drink now-2026

  Smooth and creamy. This wine has hit its stride. Silky tannins, hints of smoke, dark cherry, blueberry, mocha, anise and subtle earth tones and spice on the finish. It was worth holding onto this bottle. Outstanding.

  Dark red to rim, blackberry, cherry, tobacco, menthol, forest floor. Tannins quite good at this point. I don’t think it’s reached it’s peak but it’s awesome now

  Good, not great, for a Beringer single vineyard bottling. Fruit is muted, and overly oaky on the back palate. I don't think this gets better with time, drink now.
