The 2018 Beckstoffer Georges III is a wonderful showing in this vintage. Deep and seductive, this begins with gorgeous aromas of ripe dark currants, blueberries and crème de cassis which is laced with mocha, violets, loam, graphite, espresso, sweet exotic spices and dusty nuances which all come together in the glass. This shows wonderful full-bodied richness, as it continues to impress with its gorgeous plush, inviting texture and layers of ripe dark fruits which are beautifully concentrated. Big, round and voluptuous, yet everything is held in check as it displays a lovely sense of poise as it ends in stunning fashion with a long supple finish. This is a simply fantastic Cabernet which will go on to evolve incredibly well for years to come.
