Incredible earthy nose with leather, cigar box and some barnyard. Full fruit and massive tannins that give way to endless length. A bit early for this but I really love it! — 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! — 11 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. — 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
