This 2k Pom is drinking superbly now @ £68

🍇 67% Merlot & 33% Cab F

🍷 Deep ruby red

👃 Like sticking your head in a old soaked oaky vat oozing heady smoke, liquorice, stewed plum, cherry, cocoa, damp cellar, wet earth, leather, truffle & mushrooms - I could sniff this all day 😍

👄 Med+ silky creamy body of gushy plum & cocoa beautifully integrated & balanced

Dark and heavy looking in the glass. Especially for a Barbera. Lots o fruit in the mouth but, smooth as Prince's silk sheets. — 9 years ago

Nice wine! Nose of cherry, cedar, leather, mocha with nice spice and dusty tannins.. This was the groups favorite of the BV lineup. Very similar to the great 68. — 10 years ago

Excellent DIPA, big tropical and citrus malts, for a double, it drinks so smooth, cannot taste the ABV at all, taste profile is similar to Stone's " Enjoy By" but not as big fresh hopped, but close, when fresh, This is Beer Republic's Crown Jewel IPA, so if you are like me and love their other beers, Racer 5, Racer X, you will love this — 10 years ago

Much better. Fruit more intact, fully mature. Weightier than '68, appropriate given vintage. I would still choose Bosconia GR any day over Tondonia, I think the weightier style is more conducive to longevity. — 8 years ago

Similar body style to a typical North Coast Pinot Noir. Strawberry, Bing cherry, black tea, cocoa powder, and forest floor. Despite it being a GSM blend (heavy on the Grenache at 68%), this will have more appeal as an alternative for Pinot Noir fans than it will for Rhone buffs. — 9 years ago

Needs a 3 hours to open up, but very nice when it does. Very well balanced, not too dry, classic Oregon Pinot. — 10 years ago

It's Racer 5 times three! Seriously, if you like Racer 5 and you aren't a big baby about a little higher ABV, you will love this. Can you taste the alcohol? Yes. Is it something to complain about? Yes...if you happen to be up past your bedtime you big baby. — 10 years ago
