1975. Amazing Sauternes. Like living in a bee hive full of honey. — 9 years ago
Person
L'Audaciouse Brut Rosé Champagne Blend 2002
Large complex nose of red citrus, bee-hive, bees-wax, and white flowers; mouth-filling mousse with everything from the nose plus high acids and a long nuthoney finish. This 14 yr-old wine has likely reached its peak as another bottle from same case was a bit over the hill. — 10 years ago
Domaine de la Côte
Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2012
Liked the aromatics a lot. Whole cluster character didn't totally hive with the rounder mouthfeel. Would like to taste this in a couple years. Has huge upside. — 10 years ago
Domaine Gramenon
La Sagesse Côtes du Rhône Grenache 2012
Agree with the pack
Had the 9.1 number in my head before I saw the hive rating
Gotta love when you and other reviewers share viewpoints. It facilitates embracing their suggestions

Malvirà

Smooth and balanced with a hint of spice. One of my favorite wines at The Hive. — 9 years ago
Marcassin
Three Sisters Vineyard Chardonnay 2004
As they say elsewhere, Mar-ca-sin. That is a space ship. Viscosity like a ground up bee hive poured out of a blender. Chit's where you would expect it to be. — 9 years ago
Coop Ale Works
Alpha Hive Double IPA
Super fresh. Canned 24 hours ago. Massive fresh hoppy nose. Sticky, resiny hops flavor with a slight hint of the honey that cuts the bitterness perfectly. — 10 years ago

The Balvenie Distillery
Banffshire 12 Years Old Signature Batch #5 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Huge! Like a punch to the face of complexity. It's like this scotch was aged in a bee hive. — 11 years ago
Ebony Wines
The Hive Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2014
First, I have to comment on the packaging. Simple and elegant, with a simple waxed top which makes for a beautiful bottle. The wine itself is lovely and exemplifies the precision to be found in the 2014 vintage of Oregon Chardonnay. A hint of reduction on the nose, with fresh lemon curd, baby's breath, and green corn husk filling it out. Bright with bracing citrus upon entry, giving way green apples and pears, and finishing with peppery notes. The oak and vanilla show a bit on the mid to back palate, but mellows a bit after a while. Be great to check on in a few years. — 9 years ago
Row Fourteen
Napa Valley Red Blend 2001
@Jordan Mackay you were correct, sir. A unicorn wine. SO glad I opened to share with friends. @Rajat Parr @Julia Weinberg need your/@delectable's wine hive-mind to get more of the story of this gorgeous Napa red blend. Jammy, smoky, licorice, & dried cherry. — 9 years ago
The Royal Tokaji Wine Company
Essencia Furmint Blend 2003
This was a really special treat. Typically runs around $150 for a tablespoon serving apparently. Smells and tastes like pure honey straight from the hive, rich and super viscous. This was an other-worldly experience. — 10 years ago
