the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard RBS from clone 337 was aged in new Darnajou barrels (80%) and the rest in new Taransaud barrels
it is pleasing to find what I feel is a more representative example
This should be one of the longer-lived wines coming out of the 2017 vintage
incense and licorice are followed by a big
the Cariad is truly exceptional
Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino 1970 12.8L (Slightly Soiled Label) Italy the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer"The 1970 Barolo Riserva Monfortino can be a life changing wine. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of moments like those. Deep and exquisitely layered, the 1970 is gorgeous tonight, if not as profoundly moving as it can be. Sage, menthol, licorice, coffee and leather infuse the 1970 with striking layers of nuance. All of the richness and explosiveness of Monfortino is there, even in a slightly less than perfect bottle.!" Vinous, AG97, tasted 9 2019
