Loads of dark fruit, tar, gravel, dried herbs and espresso with massive tannins still! This bottle, despite being 15 years old, seems like it was born yesterday. I wish I had more because this would be a treat to try again in 2034. Decades of life left, obviously. This is what I love about Cru Barolo. — 6 years ago

Drinking well now but needs about 30 min to open up and let the high alcohol blow off.
Typically Molly Dooker massive black and blue fruits.
Drank with blue cheese topped filet mignon. — 7 years ago

Popped and poured. Nice bouquet but as my friend said much more massive on the palate than you would think. — 8 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 — 9 years ago

Beautiful oaky, nutty and very complex nose. WOW! It's massive! Round, big in the mouth, so viscous it feel almost thick! Endless depth, outstanding length.
An awesome experience. — 10 years ago

What you get for the extra $10 (and 250ml less) from Emperatriz Eugenia is massive compared to the entry Don Nuno (both Oloroso). Depth, complexity, something to think about.

Mahogany caramel colored with aromas of sandalwood and sweet dates. Winey sweet palette of dried figs, golden raisins, and burnt toffee. — 6 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 — 7 years ago

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. — 8 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. — 9 years ago

Tasted from a 3 Liter/Double Mag. This wine is a big Yquem. The fruit flavors I get are honey melon, peach and pineapples. The botrytis is massive in this wine. I even prefer this wine to the 83, 86 and 89. However, due to the rains in 82, there is not much to go around. Harvest began on September 16 and ended on the 25. Five weeks of rain follow. They will waited until November 7 to make a final pass. — 9 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. — 10 years ago

Color of dark burgundy, smell of nail polish, cassis, dark red fruits, pencil lead, charcoal, taste of mint, spice, fig, black tea and plum, medium acidity with firm and massive tannin, need long decant, medium to long finish. — 10 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. — 11 years ago

Wow. This is Coltrane. A massive wine with sheets of flavors pouring through. Blackberry and cassis nose with cedar and spice. Palate mirrors with deep fruit, length and grip, yet smooth. The cedar/spice/caramel finish is stunning. — 8 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. — 10 years ago

OMG--this old
#Latour is so massive that you could eat it with a fork!
One of the greatest vintages of the 20th century, and, even now, this wine has years of life ahead of it!
And to think that I used to work in a wine shop that had cases piled up ten high priced at $50 per bottle! #1959 — 10 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! — 11 years ago
