2004 vintage. From Jay. 2004 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. Dark ruby colour. Fresh violets on the nose together with cherries. A little tobacco wrapper. Cracked cloves. Nice fruit on the pallet and very silky. This is both elegant and old school in all the right ways. 92+/100. Drink 2017 to 2028+ — 9 years ago
Soft and supple with good berry and black cherry notes. Still has firm tannins and has held up well. A tasty wine that has aged well for 21 years. 1994 vintage. — 10 years ago
Aged very well. Structure held beautifully. Full fruit length of mouth. A delight. Cellaring may have been an issue for others who found it past its prime — 10 years ago
Enjoyable bottle. Nice mouth feel and finish.
Held up well after opening too. — 11 years ago

Hanzell is consistent with their held back more elegant Burgundian style while still allowing depth in their wines. The red fruit, slightly tart, is present without overpowering the palate. — 9 years ago
1998 vintage has held up really well! With my buddy Gibby and wife. Let it decant over several hours and it opened up beautifully. Cedar, leather and mineral on the nose. Long finish with full body. Wish I has 10 moe bottles. — 10 years ago
Lovely Syrah blend. Held up beautifully to hand cut NY strip. — 10 years ago
Poured through a Soirée and decanted for 30 minutes. Beautiful garnet robe. The funk hits you first and I like that. Wet hay and bright brambles with black pepper and garrigue. Delightful still on day three. Tannins and acid to round out. Balanced with the 15% ABV held in check. Loads of life in this yet. Hold or enjoy with patience now. Four bottles remaining and I'll get more if I can. — 11 years ago
Held up very well to the lasagna! — 11 years ago
Still great - cork held up barely — 9 years ago
1968 Vina Rēal Cosecha Gran Reserva Temperanillo blend. Drank this at Reddwood lunch for A&S' birthday. Hard to believe this wine was almost 50 years old. We didn't decant this and it was great- held up perfectly. Gorgeous brick color, still fruit on the nose, elegant and slightly sweet finish. So fun to try! — 9 years ago
Being held accountable! — 10 years ago
This was 30yr old and while likely well past its prime, was still pretty interesting and held together over a few hrs...#calicanlast — 10 years ago

On a snowy New York evening, this Etna proved to be rounded enough with bright red fruit held together by the wine's acidity. It grows nicely on you as the evening gets even colder. — 8 years ago
