Cloudy red coloration in the glass. Nose is a bit restrained but evolved over time from smoky, little bit spicy red fruit to cocoa powder accented red licorice. The acidity on the palate was amazing for a 30-year-old wine, and beautifully balanced with the tannins. The dried red fruit was accompanied by orange peel secondaries. Great wine. — 10 years ago

Pretty tight early, with lemon and orange rind aromas coming through. After it warmed a bit, mangoes and peaches appeared and the musty basement notes that typically accompany a wine of this age. The palate was very complex. Still enough acid to support the lemon curd and passion fruit that was left. Secondaries included cheese rind and rotting oak. — 10 years ago

Bartholomew is the sister winery of Gundlach Bundschu located a few miles down the road. One of the wines we tasted was this great Rosé. I left with a bottle. — 13 years ago

Its a good wine after you either aerate it or let it sit for an hour — 10 years ago
Immediately upon opening the aromas remind me of a poorly ventilated English basement, or how a cave used to age cheese might smell. The age has dried the fruit character, and sprinkled in some decaying rose petals. The palate on this wine has a surprisingly intense attack and amazing structure given the age. Not only that but this wine has a lengthy complexity you only dream about in a pinot. Well done Mr. Steinmark. — 10 years ago

Dark berries, black current and herbal flavors open up to a medium light lush mouth feel with chocolate flavors, peppers and herbal tannins. A long finish. Interesting and delicious. — 9 years ago
