Big, bold Beckstoffer Cab. Not as elegant as the 2014 but a serious wine for enjoyment. — 2 months ago
Phenomenal! Blackberries, cherries, and chocolate. What a treat. — 2 months ago
There are worse ways to start a Saturday then tasting & talking wine with Tor Kenward & Andy Beskstoffer having the 1980 BV George Latour Private Reserve & multiple vintages of Tor. Wine 94 technically but age & style 9.6. The experience a 10.
Dark, brooding, delicious. Round, lush and elegance on top of elegance. Lush, perfectly ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum. Smooth dark spice, dark chocolate, sandalwood, candied, dark, red florals framed in violets & lavender, excellent acidity. Balanced, perfect tension & structure and beautiful elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds.
Andy Beckstoffer sold fruit for $150 a ton in the late 1970’s, early 80’s. Today, $50,000 plus a ton and a percentage of the producers bottle price. — 4 months ago

Had this opened and decanting for 2 hours and it did not feel like enough time for this wine to emerge.
Dense and chewy. This wine seemed to hold back but brimming with flavor
