15 year old rose! Great acidity and keeps getting more interesting. Sorta cross between aged Rioja and a Fino. — 11 years ago

I know we should be storing these (2010), but it just drinks so damn well right after you uncork it. Drinks like a $80 bottle, perhaps on the smoother side for a barbaresco, and not a lot of bite, almost like a straddle between barbaresco and Barolo. Best value under $40 I know of... — 11 years ago

1998 Sassicaia. Wine #2 of the night at big group Vincenti dinner. Bigger and more masculine than the Gaja. Great wine. Toss up between this and Ornellaia as the fave red of the night. Maybe Ornellaia by a hair. — 11 years ago

In a magnum, yay bicentennial. The difference between this and the '81 is that the '81 is great but it doesn't taste old, the '76 tastes old in a good way. — 11 years ago

This is my local wine guy's favorite wine. He stopped stocking Caymus because it was "shit" and instead lines this with his shelves. I swear to god it looks exactly like purple kool aid. It has a big tannins and generally tastes ridiculous. A shameful varietal. — 11 years ago

So well balanced between tannin, fruit and acidity. Still fresh and even young. — 11 years ago
