October 3, 2022 - Typical youngish Bea with high tannins, dark cherry fruit, and a huge medicinal and spicy nose. I know the prevailing wisdom is to drink Bea with a lot of age but I’m not so sure after having some older bottles that were a bit tired and oxidized - besides, how many people have actually tried a lot of really old Bea? I haven’t had enough to form a proper opinion but enough to be a bit leery of the variability that comes with age, and I’d love to hear from anyone with more experience. I really like them at this stage where the tannins have receded a bit but the fruit and primary herbal wallop are still there. This is a big and aggressive wine that will benefit from a big hunk of grilled or braised meat served alongside it to tame some of the muchness.
