Epic Brewing

Big Bad Baptist Exponential Series Imperial Stout 2016

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. — 9 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

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

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

Domaine Dujac

Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1980

This may go down as red wine of the year for me. Which given the time of year and upcoming events is High Praise indeed. But none the less reality. Epic nose. The unmistakable smell of a slaughterhouse over summer. Meat and blood. A huge hit of licorice, leather, and smoke and cherries. The Finish lasted nearly a minute, and had a Mossy granite tone to it that reminded me of climbing in the gunks in the fog. Amazing. So fortunate to have been asked to share this with great friends. #poolwine — 7 years ago

Last bottle in the cellar of this vintage and almost regret opening on a burger night except, got to enjoy with a good friend. I'd give this a top ten wines I've ever had rating. Perhaps top 5. Drinking beautifully with subtle fruit and smooth silky feel. This wine was amazing...epic — 9 years ago

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. — 10 years ago

Another 4th Friday for the books! Insane pulls this month to follow up the most epic month (April) that we’ve ever had!

Butterscotch, sopapilla seasoning, toasted pita on the nose. Palate reminded me a bit of a Ritchie chard! Nuttiness to it. Honeyed but not tart or sugar driven. Simply delicious.

Château Trotanoy

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Absolute perfection. I've chased the ghost of this wine since the first time I tasted it almost 2 yrs ago and was hopeful this bottle would show as well as the first. It did. Silky, still great fruit, mushroom, leather, truffles and tobacco. The finish was accompanied by heavenly harps with notes of unicorn tears. Epic stuff that remains one of the greatest wines I've ever had the privilege of tasting. Was slightly tight upon opening but after an hour it exploded in the glass. — 8 years ago

If you get the opportunity, try the '71. One of the most memorable bottles I've drunk, and, I think, better than the more famous '70 or '75. But the ,82--I can only imagine!

@Cody Short Nice!! It's been a while since my last encounter with the '82 but I'm definitely a fan.
We need to share some good shit next time you're in Napa.

@Jim Westby You have my attention now as '71 is a birth year wine for me. I opened a '75 about a year ago and loved it.

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Chateau Latour is my favorite 1st Growth, they demand patience and inspire not just hedonistic pleasure but also analytical thought.

Both amazing but need massive amounts of air or another 15-20 years minimum in the cellar. I get the feeling they both will hit a plateau once they blossom and slowly move towards full maturity for decades.

The nose on the 2005 rose with little agitation and shot from the hip to nose with ease. By far the most youthful and I tense nose of the evening.

The 2000 was not dissimilar in its progression, if a bit more refined from the extra few years in the glass. A cerebral wine that was also deeply pleasurable, it kept bringing me to what this wine will be like in 15-20 or more years. Easily a 50 years wine from a macro view.
