Whoa. Wicked find at a good price. Oldest macalese I have had and it didn't disappoint. Had that tangy fruity Italian theme. Wonderful bramble, leathery type palette. Tannins almost non existent. There was one more bottle left at the wine shop. I will need to go back and get it when I sober up. — 9 years ago

After a sober January I wanted to go easy, but dark Matt said drink the Cornas. This is really great. — 9 years ago

I am so glad I gave this wine a second, more sober, look. I have been harsh on Grenache/Grenache blends, but it just reinforced the fact that one can only judge wines, not varieties. This wine just needed 4 days of air before its real self could appear. It is a profound expression of red fruit with notes of persimmon, bay leaf, orange rind, and more. An aged bottle should be very good. — 11 years ago

Exceptional complexity of a mountain Nebbiolo, serious, with a very sober demeanor and well put together. Bravo, Monsecco !

1962 vintage. Too drunk to assess. However those more sober liked it a lot — 11 years ago

Don't make this your tenth drink of the night, it's not fair to anyone. SOBER EDIT: tried this again after a beast of an Amarone and prefer this. Something about that old world, rustic, dry lingering flavoring suggests authenticity in the face of all these showy fruit and sugar forward overpriced glamour bombs. We have a great wine here. Perhaps still not as impressive as it could be, but a great wine nonetheless. — 9 years ago

In a league of its own. It's so singular I'm not really sure what to do with it. I think I need a much more sober and focused state to really get into this chick. Discover this if you can. — 10 years ago

Couple of people's last shift at Toasted, so there is a certain festive atmosphere and quite a few bottles have already been drunk, so I was in a positive mood when this came out; but even stone-cold Catholic-mass sober I'd still say you'd enjoy this one; sort of sherbert and gooseberries. Bonza. — 10 years ago

Definitely better with time so give it some and you'll be rewarded. I'd been drinking awhile by the time we opened this, but if you told me then it was a barbera, I would have believed you. Now I have to try sober (psych psych psych) — 11 years ago

This ones got character. Lost at sea with me and whole bunch of bitches from the northern rhone she seems exotic and she's speaking a different language. Zingy, acidic, bright...yet with concentration and zest. I can see her peppery and leather genetics in her eyes. I only wish I'd stayed sober enough to get closer to her and enjoy all of her nuances. A good rating because I feel like opening another just to repeat the experience. Very different I must say. — 11 years ago

Take a dill pickle from a good deli and bash it around in a well-made humidor then set that whole affair in front of a bowl of blackberry conserves. Et voila! Initial impressions. With air, this sheds the dill and cedar and replaces it with wintergreen. Overall a beautiful expression of a difficult and contentious variety. Satisfy your curiosity here; you'll enjoy it. — 9 years ago

Superb wine, not pretentious. Not on the dry side, more on the frutish side, but sober. Astringenic, round, and with strong body. Try it as a fantastic entry bottle. An everybody favorite, easy to love. — 11 years ago
