Maybe this has entered its 'dumb' phase or the bottle was slightly flawed. It didn't get a lot of fruit, had a very earthly / mineral flavor profile which is unusual for Beckmen. It's my last bottle, so I won't get a chance to taste again - but I previously rated this a 93 so there's something going on with this bottle.

Raspberries and cherries, along with some pepper and other spices. Some secondary elements beginning to develop as well, but we finished the bottle too quick!

Very pleasant. Vanilla, blackberry and cassis on the nose. A touch of mushroom/earth. Good balance on the palate. Tannins come through on the finish. Showing well, though it will also cellar well.

This was really good. In a great place. Jammy and fruity with just enough tannins. Wish I had more!
