Really well balanced Cabernet. Raspberry, plum, chocolate, graphite and licorice on the palate with a slightly sweet finish. Silky, smooth tannins, medium bodied with a touch of acidity and a medium finish. I expected a longer finish and the sweetness was a surprise but all in all this was a pretty exceptional bottle.

this is a phenomenal wine. complex, nice fruit but not overpowering, approachable tannins, nice acidity, incredibly long finish, and great earth tones. It is a super wine. Wait 5 years, though, and it will be better. 2026 onward. 97 pts

Really enjoyed this wine. Popped and poured and good to go. Enjoyed over two hours straight out of the bottle. Ready to go now, but still a long life ahead.

100% Beckstoffer cab. 15.2% ABV. I let it breathe for 2.5 hrs. Drank over 1.5. I saw a review that note that this is a sweet, lush and dense wine, with a creamy texture. That's spot on. Muted acidity. Glad I picked up this wine.

Father's day treat for me with fillet mignon dinner. Graphite, cedar and smoky aromas. Licorice, dark chocolate flavors with a minty menthol explosion half way through the 60+ second finish. Black licorice lingers minutes later. My first Beckstoffer. Pretty awesome wine.
