This was our aperitif for Christmas dinner. Absolutely wonderful. And it makes a nice after dinner cocktail with a splash of Port. EDIT: And it made wonderful mimosas the next morning. — 9 years ago
Very, very nice. Bold and smooth right now, June 2016. It will cellar well for at least the next 5 years. — 9 years ago
Just an incredible wine. Perfect with pizza but also a great red for just drinking. Need to get some more on our next visit. — 10 years ago
Patience. It's nice now, with some brambly fruit, cherries, raspberry, maybe a little marmalade, even...love everything I've had from Monte Rosso. Will wait 2-3 years, if not more, for next bottle (maybe). — 11 years ago
Still young at heart but the tannins are integrating nicely. Still a bruiser but progressing nicely. Looking forward to the next bottle in another few years. — 11 years ago
Needs some decant time, but so easy to cosy up next to and smile. — 11 years ago

Wild. Unsure what exactly to expect since the reputation was "he did something to the wine". Barrel samples were off the hizzie, but the final product just seemed to skew so modern. And then a jillion years later.. it is still such.
Dark dark dark. Cherry cherry cherry. Opened rather nicely post decant. A multitide of flavors and aromas greeted us over the course of the next hour. Sweet, almost port like without the heat. Cool. @northforktable — 9 years ago
Love it. Such an incredible value.
Appearance: Clear and polished ruby/magenta with slight variation to the rim; medium body and legs
Nose: getting some alcohol and smoked meats, earthiness
Taste: Dark red fruit core with good structure and tannins; alcohol is a bit noticeable at the point but should integrate well over the next year or two; some very light and pleasant menthol sort of notes
We paired this with beef Wellington and roasted potatoes smothered in duck fat, gruyere and thyme. It held up beautifully and didn't overtake the dish. We opened 2 hrs before and let it passively decant in bottle - may play around with a hard decant, etc. guessing day 2 for this one will be even better. — 9 years ago
Stupid young but after 24hrs it really shows something incredible. MTP has such a deft hand with old vines and this vineyard at 120 yrs old and grown in 30f sand shows something special. Will evolve so much over the next decade. — 10 years ago

Belgian style brewed with peppercorns. Wish I had it with food. Next time! — 11 years ago
Wow, talk about a monster. In a good way. Spicy, exotic and wild whole cluster-y notes here with an incredible high wire act of richness and levity that this estate isn't know for. Definitely Syrah and Mourvèdre talking next to the Grenache here. Not as crystaline and pretty as Rayas, but a really impressive wine. Also: Mark my words, the '10s will be to my generation what the '78s were for the sommeliers who started in the early '80s. — 11 years ago
Bright and lively. Yum. — 12 years ago

Lovely lemon curd honeysuckle wet white stony racy Sancerre. This is what it's all about. Glad to see next generation doing good things with that damned mountain — 13 years ago

Opens up really well - loved how the taste evolved after decanting. Paired with a gruyère and then a chocolate fondue, and transitioned nicely from one to the next. — 9 years ago
