Massive and complex. Vanilla, pepper, creme, blackberry jam, oranges, cloves, and fruitcake. May have even opened to young? Needed more than the 2 hour decant I gave it. — 9 years ago

1997 Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia Masseto MLA Merlot. Drank at DR concert. This followed the 1986 Margaux. Definitely much bigger, just massive. Concentrated dark fruit, balanced with a nice earthiness. Despite its (relatively) intense structure, this wine drank beautifully, with a smooth, long finish. — 10 years ago

The nose is so feminine and perfumed with dark fruits, savory spices, and earth. Fuller bodied and structured with gripping tannins. Vineyard has southern orientation=warmer=more massive expression of Carignan — 10 years ago

2007. Someone brought this to a wine dinner I hosted. I wouldn't have thought of opening such a young vintage, and for good reason - this wine was massive! Still needs 5-10 years, but it will indeed be worth the wait. — 11 years ago

2012 Roar Pinot. Drank during lunch w K, A&S at Tra Vigne. Apparently this wine is usually massive, but we were told this vintage was much more reserved. It was fantastic. Really enjoyed this wine! — 12 years ago

Total beast. Did a quick double decant since it's 12 years old but should have let it open for a couple of hours. Eye watering nose of dirt, nutmeg, cinnamon, bramble, and camphor. Massive palate with plenty of fruit and tannin left. 45 second finish. What an awesome cab blend! — 10 years ago

Massive and loaded with fruit. Boysenberry and roasted fig dominate the nose with a dark cherry and loamy palette. Huge, long, tannic finish. Lots of years on this one. Definitely opened it too early. — 11 years ago

The 2004 Quilceda Creek is a stunning wine, with a nose that evolves to reveal layers of boysenberry, cassis, charcoal, dark chocolate, pain grillé and exotic spice. Truly, this is among the best of Washington, there is a reason why Quilceda has attained cult status. On the palate, massive structure is deceptively cloaked in silky, velvety, inky overtones. Steeped blackberries, roasted black cherries and cedar intertwine to give lift, polish, and a most luxurious, elegant finish. The balance is impeccable. — 11 years ago

1997 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Riserva Barolo. Two bottles at Sunday dinner at Toscana w K and crew. Great wine. Mellowed, but still fruity and tannic. Not as massive as the Solaia. — 11 years ago

NYC for my 35th and this was firing on all cylinders. Extremely dark in color, massive nose and the palate showed everything good about classic Latour. This liked and tasted like an 80's wine, so youthful and surprisingly no sediment in the bottle. Easily a top 5 wine this year. — 12 years ago

2005.... has settled somewhat, fruit is now not as in your face, still needs time to integrate the massive oak here; however, overall this is a very good drinking experience — 8 years ago

Wow is initial impression! Massive tannin structure that opened after 1 hour in the glass. Beautifull black fruit component , great mouth feel. Probably the wine of the night, even with the Aubert and J Rochioli Pinots and the Maya 92... I give this a Commanding 98+ Rating in my book! Thanks Mr Larry! — 10 years ago

1945 vintage. What can I say? How often do you get to drink a wine made during WWII? A great experience courtesy of a friend with a massive wine collection. Wonderful experience. — 11 years ago

Massive is an under-statement. This wine was a Puppy. Many more years of enjoyment left in this wine, I think a minimum of 20 years. Top class Grange and worth the money! 94+ points. — 12 years ago
