2001 Case Basse Di Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello. Drank this at Toscana w JM and others. First red of the night and this was epic. We thought it would be too young- decanted an hour or so. It was perfect. So smooth, rich, no hard edges, velvety, and long finish. This was my fave bottle of this wine we've ever had. KLD agreed it was showing perfectly. — 9 years ago
Black cherry, raspberry currant, licorice, dried herbs, dusty leather and oak. Great structure and well-integrated tannins. — 10 years ago
1993 Domaine Dujac 1st Cru Les Gruenchers Burgundy. Drank at The Grill on the Alley w K, McC, and Gill. Awesome treat to try this wine. Was in perfect shape, despite its age and this might have been our fave of the night. Def notes of plum still lingering on this wine. Epic. — 10 years ago
Not a bad way to end the epic #birthyear tasting! — 11 years ago
This is the best wine I have ever had in my entire life. It's the embodiment of everything burgundy is supposed to be. Completely and totally epic and transcendent. Drinking perfectly. Aromas of ripe strawberries, macerated raspberries, soft red cherries, all spice, and magic! On a scale of 1-10 this wine is a 79. — 9 years ago

Epic 1998: stunningly fresh & young, but so much density & development at the same time — 11 years ago
Wine 3 of an epic lunch. — 11 years ago
I know this site is mainly for wine, but nothing like a 7 year old beer to renew your faith in local brewing. Dried bananas mixed with candied lime zest with a bit of barleywine style malt on the finish. Amazing. — 11 years ago
This is as good as Bordeaux gets. Pure perfection in a glass and got even better with an hour+ in the decanter. Wonderful earthy notes, Forrest floor, leather, spice, faint menthol and bell pepper, floral, cigar and some dark fruits finished with the kiss of God and a drop of angel tears. One of the few wines I've ever had that I would rate 100 and an epic experience. — 9 years ago
This is an amazing beer. Delicious! — 9 years ago

One of the most epic wines I could ever wish to enjoy :-) — 10 years ago
'01 vintage. Epic bottle. I love Rayas. So so different to anything else. — 11 years ago
This was epic! Beautiful nose with amazing barnyard character. Almost smelled French. On the palate great minerality, great texture, fine tannins and fruit! Could have gone for many more years. Had with braised ribs in port wine reduction sauce. — 12 years ago

Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 8 years ago
