First time to taste the legendary Chateau Montelena Chardonnay and it did not disappoint! Composed yet lively. — 7 years ago
My wine of the night and one of the best wines I've ever had the pleasure to try. The legendary Phillip Togni. He built his wines the old fashioned way - 25 years in the bottle was the plan when it was made and it is absolutely epic right now. — 8 years ago
Classic, though several notches below the legendary 2010 I've tasted twice. Hard to rate, and Gonon is always delicious, but this just lacks the concentration and ridiculous balance of 2010. — 8 years ago
This was a great Barolo from a legendary producer! Tart cherry fruit, rose petal, licorice, dried herbs, porcini mushroom. Showing power, finesse, Burgundy elegance, great balance of fruit, purity with round tannins and good weight, concentration, velvety and silky texture. No rush, Still drinking young! — 8 years ago

Neck fill and good cork. Immediate nose of cedar, anise, of course eucalyptus and even some hibiscus. It's deep in the glass and core was still tight, even bit tannic and firm acids. This vintage is drinking better now than the legendary 74's as some of that bigger vintage is falling apart. A real beauty! — 8 years ago
The most fantastic DRC to date! This is legendary, very, very gorgeous, fresh cut lilacs, pure pinot noir perfume, forest floor, acorn, rose essence, hibiscus flower...

The most spectacular white from the Mediterranean basin, always revealing great smoky minerality (no new oak at all), amazing depth and tension. Displays almonds dragees and saffron, lemon confit, hay, dried flowers, kaleidoscopic. So young for a 2010, will evolve for decades… One of the best vintages ever from this legendary Italian wine, mind-blowing for a Trebbiano!!! — 7 years ago
Opened this btl from a case that I purchased on futures. This is still very young and needs a min of 10 more years to start reaching its peak drinking window. This had black fruits along with plum, the Cab Franc really stood out showing pepper and dried herbs along with licorice and vanilla spice. This also had a shoe polish like perfume and floral notes. This a legendary Cheval in the making. — 8 years ago
As stately as I expected it to be (can one really expect anything less of a wine as legendary as Cristal in one of Champagne's most celebrated vintages?) glinting pale gold, the color of a freshly-minted coin. The 2002 Champagne Cristal Brut Millésimé is imbued with soaring notes of pear and smoke, brioche and chalk. Disgorged in 2009, this is a precise wine—it has a sort of crystalline weightless density, with fruit buoyed by a fine mousse, and edgy saline-tinged minerality emerging at the close. 10 grams dosage.
"You must be as precise as a Swiss watchmaker, I tell my team," our host, M. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves at Roederer stressed. Precision in spades. — 8 years ago
Pretty legendary tonight. Perfect integration. Light, herbaceous, and very refined. — 8 years ago
Amazingly youthful for a 70. Great depth and multilayered. This wine exhibits the legendary characteristics of leather cases currants and tobacco. — 9 years ago

Although not a legendary vintage this wine was thoroughly enjoyable. Smoked flavors mixed with red fruit and lovely balance and texture. Great cellar surprise. — 7 years ago
