  April 14, 2024 - Opened this after a Schrader RBS 2015, so didn’t expect it to compete. Actually very very good. Blueberries and fresh mint on the nose.
  Smooth , blueberries on the palate. Tasted more like a Napa cab, enjoyable.

  February 19, 2023 - BD14 purchase. Dark ruby in the glass featuring aromas of wild blueberry, spiced plum, sweet mint and vanilla bean. Firm intensity on the palate with earthy notes of bramble, cedar, eucalyptus, and a modicum of toffee. Slightly grippy tannins are complimented nicely with firm acidity and a longish finish. 92 pts.

  January 26, 2023 - Tasted for Berserkerday 14
  
  94% Cabernet Sauvignon / 6% Petit Verdot. Decanted 30 minutes.   Unlike the other Baer wines I tasted, this one did not have any significant amount of sediment.  Medium bodied, dark crimson, no bricking.  From the start the tannins seems to have been well managed and did not come into play during the drinking window.
  
  30 min
  Nose of perfume, black currant, blueberry and anise.  The palate was overpowering blueberry, blueberry jam, blueberry liquer, medium length finish, moderately balanced at this point.  Blind I would have put this as Napa.
  
  60 min
  Nose of coffee, black currant, anise, touch of olives, and black tea.  The palate calmed down significantly, but a dominant bittersweet note appeared on the finish.  The blueberry seemingly transitioned to faint blackberry but tea note remained constant.
  
  90 min
  At this point, the wine began to really open up!  Nose of chocolate covered cherries and maraschino cherry.  The fruit transition completed into primarily red cherry and black tea with a complimentary cherry cream mousse showing up.  More spiciness appearing on a medium length finish, bittersweet notes disappeared.
  
  2+ hr
  Same as before but notes of dried flowers and herbs appeared along with faint clove and white pepper notes on the finish.
