Phenominal. Can't say enough good about this white. The ONLY reason I don't give it a ten is because the Orange from Kivel Stadt is just a tad better! — 9 years ago
Grapes from the Concannon clones 7 and 8 are included in this "Mother Vine" Cab which give it aromas of black cherry and blueberry. It has blackberry, black current and plum flavors with a smooth finish. Anything from the Mother Vine at Concannon is good vino. — 10 years ago

Nicola catena is the Robert Mondavi of Mendoza they advanced in 15 years what it took the rest of the world 200 years to get to this level. They take from the five family vineyards for this wine. The historic rows are now put on the label. This is the best vineyards and they look for the best location in those vineyards Angelica named after his mother and this is the mother clone material. All the wineries built in Spanish or Italian architecture. Dark berry fruit blackberry and blueberry fruit with notes of licorice spice dark tobacco spice. Another vineyard has a dessert effect because of its low altitude this site gives it structure. Adrianna vineyards is one of the highest and this is the most important violet flowers and freshness and acidity — 11 years ago

What a beautiful person inside and out! I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to call him "Dad". Words can't adequately express how much I Love him. We opened a few bottles last night that I will hold near and dear to my heart forever. We are celebrating his completion of 6 rounds of chemo therapy in his battle against Prostate cancer. This is his 3rd time in the ring against this opponent and it appears that he's won with a unanimous decision by knockout at this time!!!!!! Love you dad!!!!! So proud of your strength through this process. My Father was born in 1940. A difficult year to say the least:
Germans entered Bordeaux in June of 1940. As dictated by Hitler himself, it was the sworn duty of each and every commander to search and seize whatever could be used for the advancement of the German cause. Bedlam broke out. Chateaux' were ransacked, wine cellars were looted if not used for target practice. The Chateauxs were forced to continue producing wines. It's poetic justice that Mother Nature provided the Germans with the worst growing season from 1940 to 1944!!!! The Germans left Bordeaux in 1944 to the cheers of the residents "Au Revoir Les Allemands"!!!! The 1940 bottle that we enjoyed this evening survived World War II. It Survived the ransacking, pillaging & plunder of countless German soldiers. It's outer capsule showed evident signs of its struggle but it's inner beauty was unblemished and glorious. I've had many, many vintages of Latour from 1928 and on but none have ever tasted as perfect as the one we enjoyed tonight. This 1940 was perfect. It was a fighter, it never gave up, it never relinquished in the face of adversity. That's my Father, that my role model. He's a beautiful person inside & out. I think 1940 is the best vintage that I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. Special thanks to my good friends Michael Troise whom provided me with much of the insights in regards to the incredibly difficult vintage and David Page whom gifted this bottle to me for our celebration this evening. I will never forget your generosity. It was a glorious evening to say the least!!! Wine has a way of bringing people together and encapsulating an evening and event. I couldn't think of a better way to rejoice in his victory than to open a Father & Son birth year wine. — 8 years ago

Love it, not to strong of a flavor but so yummy — 10 years ago
Purchased at auction from K&L. Single owner kept it in very fine fettle. Fill level high for a '66 and minimal sediment in the bottle. Tawny caramel color with golden rim. Superlative complexity on the nose: rich mushrooms, forest floor, cedar, moss and wet leaves, dangui Chinese herbs, butterscotch taffy, molasses. Gentle and round on the tongue: prunes, mocha, shiitake, licorice, clove, sandalwood, black cherry, dried figs, and iron-alkaline briny blood. Very savory with subdued fruit, but tannins still fully structured. Loooooong finish, all the way to the heart. Euphoric ending to a lovely Christmas. Cheers to my mother-in-law. — 10 years ago
Bibiana rocks! Aromas of fresh fruit and stems of red roses are followed by a discrete juiciness and silky mouthfeel. Todd has found another superb mentor. — 10 years ago
