4/4/2020 - devraj Likes this wine: 94 pointsDark red/purple with some lightening around the edges. Restrained nose take a while to open up to show reddish black cherries, tar, leather, hint of coffee grinds and roasted asian seeds. Full-bodied, rich and spherical palate shows good depth to the ripe dark macerated fruits, hint of anise, lowish acidity, tannins still present and a long leather and tar perfumed finish. This will continue to improve... in a cold cellar. |

9/2/2019 - devraj Likes this wine: 90 pointsDeep reddish purple in color. No heat on this one, but nose and palate impact were decidedly on the ripe and oaky style. I thought the first bottle I opened a while ago was better. There is a lot of cedary and smoky accents to the ripe black and blue fruits along with graphite on a long oaky and dark olive paste finish. |

2001 Behrens & Hitchcock Cabernet SauvignonSt. Helena more |
2/21/2011 - devraj wrote: 92 pointsDeep red color. Very ripe nose of cassis, red berries, dark chocolate and slight whiff of leather. Expansive, lush palate with waves of sweet red berry fruit and currant jam. The mid-palate stands out. This is made in an unabashed modern style, there is still so much primary fruit, but the tannins have resolved well, and it has years of peak drinking left. I have herad of bad stories of B-H cabs, poor ageability, too much oak, too much VA- nothing wrong with this bottle! |
