  Decanted for 60 minutes then poured back into the bottle with the cork returned for an additional 8 hours at 61 degrees. Consumed out of Bordeaux shaped glass at a tapa restaurant. Paired with many different pasta, fried and meat dishes.
  
  The color is very dark purple. The nose was of black fruits, spices and hints of tobacco. The palate was of ultra ripe blue/black fruits (ie blueberry & blackberry), brown spices, cocoa and espresso. It was a super concentrated, opulant, full-bodied wine that was a pleasure to drink today but may provide a greater experience in a few more years as the wine integrates more and becomes a bit more balanced and less jammy.
  
  My score today is 94.5 but it has the stuffing to gain a point or 2 with additional cellaring. If I had another bottle, my ideal drinking window for this bottle would be between 2024-2027.

  BAM! Bevan is not timid! Enjoyable but I’d like the big, bold fruit to mellow and integrate more over time. Still a fan.

  So good. Magenta /purple. Loads of mocha, dark chocolate, espresso and dusty black fruits. Plush, mouth coating, glass staining and highly memorable. Nice acidity, ripe tannins, long finish. Cheers all!

  First Napa ‘17 I’ve tried and pleasantly surprised. It was the last bottle of the evening and it was PNP, but still was not a disappointment.
  Still though leave those ‘17’s alone for 3-5 years and I believe you will be properly rewarded.
