Grappa, the by-product of grape musk after wine production, is vicious stuff. This one though has more smoothness and aromatics that the typical. A pleasant surprise. — 7 years ago

1895. Riiiiich. More vicious than other vintages I have had around this era. This is by far the best wine I have had in the pre 1960 era. Unbelievably deep and complex. — 8 years ago

Sour cherries keep you coming back, the acid starts the salivation and the only thing that'll quench that thirst is already in your glass.
It's a beautiful vicious cycle. — 8 years ago

Awesome. Like licking a rock then biting a crisp green apple and ripe pear. The bubbles are vicious at first but settle quickly — 9 years ago

Smell like apricot and nectarine. So vicious and lush but every ounce of sweetness is supported by flavor or acidity. Peach skin. Fucking delicious. — 9 years ago

Ripening strawberry, some nectarine, lemon, and some toasty brioche. Flavors and nose are firm. Sides of vicious and elegant with each sip — 9 years ago

Vicious attack of VA that falls away after 15 minutes. Unveiled, is fresh & punchy black & red berries. Major fruit depth boomerangs from tart to ripe, with balanced VA that lifts its secondary notes. Lovely Cote du Py indeed from 2011 — 8 years ago

Gorgeously saline, an initial plasticine aroma blows off to reveal orange blossom, roasted pecan, citrus peel, maple candy. Vicious acidity marries will with off-dryness but the acid carries the day. Finish lasts a solid minute. I love this as much as I hate port. — 8 years ago

Sweet & vicious. This has gone from a great pizza wine to a holyshitwhatamidrinking wine. Echoes of northern Rhone. — 9 years ago

Really nice bottle of wine. For me the thing that stands out is that it is so drinkable right now. There is some vicious legs on this puppy and I am going to stash a few bottles in the cellar to see what a little age would do. Great pick @Todd Abrams — 9 years ago

Necessity to get drinks pounding the next day. Stuff's so good and light.. nicely vicious and clean for $25. Good to be back with some of the crew for a redneck cabin trip near Yosemite — 8 years ago

What a color, pale garnet! Tar and leather on the nose... so much dark fruit (cassis) on the front palate, still tasting very young! Not as vicious tannins as you would expect from a Barolo. Very good balance of tannins and fruit flavors. This is another beauty from Kermit Lynch. — 8 years ago

Willi's! A pleasure to be able to afford to try something like this. Was shy upon opening but vicious on the mid palate. After 30 minutes, showed white flower, chamomile, and honey with nice salinity. Definitely an 09, but kinda makes it a nice drink not requiring food. Still very Chablis, just a little less angular. A great example of hidden benefits to an atypical vintage! — 8 years ago

Has a sour candy property. Some vicious to it. Better with air exposure. — 9 years ago

The first thing that strikes, being the most striking thing, is the almost water-like clear and completely see through color of this Marsanne. Yellow and white flower nose. On the palate, lychee and peach, pear, honeysuckle, orange and nectarine entertain, but all of this, mind you, with a vicious acidity. Like a NASCAR crash for people that watch NASCAR for the crashes. — 9 years ago

Plum, raisin, smoke bomb. I kind of love it. Good for hot-off-the-grill fare — 9 years ago
