  From a nice looking bottle with a 3 cm fill, this wine had a deep red center and orange/tan rims. The medium+ intensity nose of cherries oranges, roasted meat, herbs, and brown spices was excellent.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was medium bodied with light rounded tannin, nice acidity, and very good length. This was not a big wine, it was class in a glass.
  
  This wine appears to have been at its peak for a while. This bottle was in the best condition of the group and showed a touch more freshness than the others. While it will last for a number of years, I see no reason to wait.

  From an excellent looking bottle with a 3.5 cm fill, this wine had a deep red center with orange rims. Interestingly, the cork was only branded with a stylized lion! The medium+ intensity nose showed black cherries, roasted meat, brown spices, and soil.
  
  Despite being mature, this wine developed for 3 hours in the glass. It was very ripe and rich with light rounded tannin and very good length. The fruit was bright and sweet with a fine-grained mouth feel.
  
  While one might argue this wine is slightly past its peak, it certainly is a very impressive and memorable bottle.

  From a great looking bottle, this wine had a medium red center with orange/tan rims. The high intensity nose of black cherries, rhubarb, cola, clove, and brown spices was celestial.
  
  In the mouth, this Beze was medium bodied with great richness, complexity, and length. It was quite well balanced and had light rounded tannin. In addition, it showed a touch of coffee flavor.
  
  My guess is that this has been at its peak for a while. Drink this lovely wine now.
