  June 13, 2023 - Lovely and mature. Still can't help wondering if I would like these with a little more fruit and less development.

  May 22, 2020 - 2 hour slo-o. The wine is showing no signs of shutting down. Magnificent purity, complexity and balance with a monster finish. A wine with soul.

  April 1, 2020 - This bottle was tawny into brick towards the center. I wish this experience was more like KEVINACOHN's, but this tended towards the rustic aspects and some anise with a bit of tobacco. There is a cherry element that came out as it opened up and relaxed. The tannins were fine and integrated and it left a decent bit of sediment. I think a good bottle with some time in the glass, but not the best Bea bottle I've had.

  March 31, 2019 - The last bottle of this vintage in my cellar—at least, until I find more. Double-decanted about two hours before serving. At first I was worried the wine might finally be creeping past its prime, as the first sips were like drinking maple syrup. Only a few minutes later, however, that thick sweetness disappeared entirely, leaving a refined wine with exquisitely detailed aromas and flavors. The very best of Bea; I'm already looking for more. Bottle #1861.
