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
1994 Screaming a Eagle Cab. Drank at Charcoal. Loved this wine! Epic. Balanced vanilla, fruit, oak and amazingly long finish. Epic. — 10 years ago
One of the most epic wines I could ever wish to enjoy :-) — 10 years ago
Very refined and lovely. But not quite at the epic scale for me. — 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. — 9 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
This is an amazing beer. Delicious! — 10 years ago
Epic stuff. Graceful, elegant aged cab with brilliant acidity, depth of fruit, texture, nuance. Fascinating. — 10 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
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.

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. — 11 years ago
Not a bad way to end the epic #birthyear tasting! — 11 years ago

Epic - although it's still a little young. — 9 years ago
