  Tasted at the 5 minutes mark in the decanter and it was a bit mute but clearly showing the direction to "fantastic".
  
  After 30 minutes in the decanter it was ready to rock! The wine is bold, tons of character, plenty of tannins and great structure. The mid palate is excellent and the finish is OMG!
  
  Drink or hold. I wish I had more!

  As many have mentioned, the aroma is wonderful and it is enjoyable to just bask in the aroma for a while as you anticipate the upcoming first sip. The taste is magical. The wine is rich, smooth and light on its feet. It has a nice dark cherry overtone with chocolate hints along with a mild but nice spicey note. I have one more, but I wish I had a couple cases. This is a crowd pleaser on steroids. Exceptional wine.

  Unfortunately, bottle was off - not corked, just never opened up.

  2014 is not my favorite vintage, however this Alpha Omega Beckstoffer Cabernet has matured incredibly well over the years and is a pleasure to drink right now. Dark purple ruby color with an alluring violet nose. This wine is great right out of the bottle but a bit of air takes it to another level. There’s dark and elegantly extracted berry fruits, black and blueberry fruit, cassis, dark cherry, a touch of spice with essences of violet aromas that make this wine a delight to drink. The aromas incredible and the finish is long wonderful. This is a fantastic bottle of wine. 96+/ 97 Points.
