A lot of new oak on this monster Sangiovese. Tastes like a Napa Cult Cab to me. — 10 years ago

Expected to find an overblown overpriced overrated monster. I was pleasantly surprised. Slightly richer and less balanced than I usually like my Pinot but great aromatics and dense texture. — 10 years ago

Brooding monster the 2010, a first for me from Lokoya. Needed 2 hours to really express itself in my glass. Bold and rich with big fleshy tannins. Must try more! Thanks Larry. Chophouse group Monday — 11 years ago

From a 4.78 ha plot, from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, surprisingly elegant, expected it to be a monster, somewhat similar to right bank Bordeaux from that very year. Complex aromas of cassis, tobacco, menthol, stout and pepper. Deep and concentrated, gravelly tannins with a long sweet finish. 14.5% — 12 years ago

4 hour decant and this big boy was still closed down. What little it revealed hinted at the monster wine this will become. Still very primary extracted black fruit, pencil shavings, camphor, mammoth tannins with fresh acid. Desperately needs time to open up. — 11 years ago
