Great wine. Nice density. Perfume/Berries with moist earth fight for front stage on aromas. Palate is gradual, sinking bing cherry with chalk and incorporated tannin. Easy acid, but remaining balanced with the rest of the wine. Opened 7/2/15 — 10 years ago

This wine is like licking and biting an Hermes Birkin bag (not that I have done that). Licorice, vanilla, moist fresh clean prunes. An olfactory feast. Overpriced relative to the Gaudo al Tasso 2009, but superior to many some pricier Supertuscans. It's a feast, worthy of sinking your teeth into. But needs a rare fillet steak. — 10 years ago

Maximus makes me want to punch a gangbanger in the face, find the cure for cancer and sing America The Beautiful on the bow of a sinking ice breaker after saving baby harp seals from giant Canadian fur smugglers. Yeah. It's real freakin good. — 10 years ago

Best sweet wine I have tasted in a long time. Almost has a Canadian Ice Wine taste. — 12 years ago

Cantiillon Cuvee de Florian 1996. Still sinking in, but amazingly fresh and sharp with very fine carbonation. A faint whiff of TCA that likely will dissipate. TCA dissipated after 10 min, revealing more complexity. — 10 years ago

Great color in the glass. Medium + density. Pomegranate nose with floral aspects and some baking spice. Palate is light, progressing to a finishing good with structure and some tannin. Acid is great overall. Raspberry and Strawberry fight for the front seat. Long lingering, sinking cherry finish. Opened 5/10/15 — 10 years ago
