I'm not a Pinot Noir lover, probably because they cost too much for a good one, but received this as a gift and really liked it. — 9 years ago

1976 was almost fluorescent orange on release so many years ago now. Today it still has that telltale orange gleam but it's developed so beautifully. Orange peal, fig, honey, earth, mango, hazelnut, and on and on. 375ml still very fresh. Impressive. — 11 years ago

A lot of youthful vibrancy for 24 and oh so elegant and profound, deep lengthy sustaining notes of dark cacao, expresso, burnt fig and worn leather. So cool. — 9 years ago

Classic Gran Reserva. Nose is leather and oak. Complex in the mouth with leather, oak, clove, cinnamon, tobacco, fig and a hint of blue cheese. It finishes with more oak, medium acid and chewy tannins. A lovely dark, blood red color to boot. At a meal, this is the main course. Me gusta. — 10 years ago

Drinking like a French Pinot, the bouquet is evocative of cherries, strawberries, tea, forest floor, and crushed crushed flower, while the pallet shines with black cherry, tea, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and earth. A consummate exemplar of Willamette Valley. Get 1 of the 200 cases while you can. — 9 years ago

Here is what Wine Spectator says about this wine. One of the more endowed 2009s, this is packed with dark smoldering cocoa, mesquite, tobacco and roasted fig notes, all inlaid with pure cassis and plum preserves fruit flavors. Long and authoritative on the finish, with singed vanilla bean and tar notes adding length and dimension. Not sure I could have come up with all of these descriptors but a beautiful wine in my opinion. — 9 years ago

Just enjoyed a glass of one of the last bottles known to exist...This wine has been sold out for months but it was being poured at a Grenache Day celebration tonight...It will long be remembered as one of my favorite roses...Farewell my friend...The remaining few bottles will be poured at the girl & the fig restaurant this weekend until every last drop is consumed...Come get a final splash before its all gone... — 10 years ago

#2009 RS in the form of caramel, dried fig, and plum showcase a sweeter side to Barolo while #2010 showcases more refined fruit flavors, improved acidity, and a lengthier finish — 11 years ago

Amber-Ruby in color, smell of fig, plum, and caramel, a bolder style. Medium to full body with a robust long finish.
