Our server warned us about the high alcohol content- he didn’t realize who he was talking to. We tried to have him shake the bottle and he gave it a polite attempt. — 7 years ago

A lot of good Marcassin stories last night. Like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show. Coolest label this side of SQN and always dependable if not thought provoking. Inarguably inviting style. — 8 years ago

Ok, I know the haters are out there. But seriously in a charming restaurant in a old Wyoming frontier town, and paired with world-class elk tenderloin, this Cab rocked. Or maybe it was the Wyoming Whisky warmup talking... — 9 years ago

So this is the Orange wine you were talking about @Todd Abrams. Probably to cold right now but very interesting. Will have to let it warm up a bit — 10 years ago

Really interesting SB. Yed this is me talking. Racy acidity depth mouth and presence of oak here is terrific -- oak is subtle, unlike my friend (the wine's maker) Felipe, :-) — 10 years ago

"Awesome" is inadequate as a descriptor when talking about this wine. The greatest Bien Nacido bottle I've ever experienced. #ipob14 — 11 years ago

This wine needs decanting. It changes rapidly. Charcoal notes at the start. Brick. Vanilla. It's that 60 year old gray-haired man who has a lifetime of stories and a relaxed manner about him — 9 years ago

Balance from nose to finish for a young Barolo, wow. An elegant Barolo, and by elegant I'm talking graceful fruit nicely balanced by brooding characters of the fine. Black Cherry, fresh cut spring flowers, aged leather, black tea, and tobacco. More medium than heavy but notable in depth that I expect to grow exponentially with 5-15 more years. Massive QPR for the great 2010 vintage. — 9 years ago

Not sure what others who have had this reservation are talking about. I just had the 2001 and this wine aged to perfection, cooler was light, brick, Georgia clay, yet the flavors where top notch. Lucky to have it, had their 2011 Brunelo the other day and that is nails as well. — 8 years ago

The girth and weight of this bad boy is ... Remarkable, jarring, and exceptional. I'll be talking about him for a long, long time. I mean it when I say he is one of the top two I've had in recent memory. Can't wait to get back in the sheets for a tumble with this one as soon as possible. — 9 years ago

Gamay the Burgundian way. This was once love at first sight and I keep coming back to it. There is something about the texture that is unexplainable. Light-hearted but damn serious. And then I wasn't even talking about the phenomenal perfume. Finesse all the way. From the granite and schist soils on the Py hillside. — 10 years ago

Someone came in about a month ago asking about Armenian wine. I said I didn't know of any but if there was one imported, it would find me. Well, today it found me. And it is lovely. High toned, elegant, fruit and earth and stories to tell. — 11 years ago
