One of the best Pepe wines I've ever had. Drinking like a beautiful grand cru burg with its own special sense of place. This is one of the best wines in the world. #sommselect — 10 years ago

A medium + intensity of Black fruits (black cherry, black currants) dark chocolate, mint, tobacco and cedar. Nose and palate matching in flavor profile and complexity. Still tight and will just get better with age. — 11 years ago

Throwing it back to this magic night back in 2007. Incredible night full of 1st growth Bordeaux at The Wine Merchant. I tasted this and Bordeaux instantly clicked and it all made sense. Since then I have had a love for Bordeaux more than any other region... — 10 years ago

2012. Intense and lush but also translates a sense of place. — 11 years ago

My 4th bottle, the best and my last, this absolutely killed it and is why I love Napa Valley Cabernet, especially #Spottswoode. 12 years old this easily has another 10 to go but is in a beautiful place right now. Open or decant for 30 minutes, though I did not decant. A deep resold color, not a sign of brick as one would expect. Shows the importance of provenance (bought from winery). A complex set or aromas and flavors of creme d'cassis, currants, sweet and sour cherries, sweet cedar, and graphite. Palate wise the textures are all in alignment, with medium to full body, ample acidity and medium grain slightly chewy tannins that may be it's only flaw. #2002 — 11 years ago

29 years old and drank incredibly well. What a treat. The big fruits have softened but in their place is now a brooding torrent of notes which evolved from sip to sip. Quite a remarkable wine. — 10 years ago

Surprise given the vintage's heat. Dark fruits, decent sense of freshness & structure for a few more years. I would drink it up though. — 11 years ago

9.1

Needs growth time and patience. Super young and a tad all over the place. Flavors all over the place but after time tobacco and cherry start to emerge. Needs 3-7 more years of age to fully become one of the better super Tuscans — 11 years ago
