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
Big chewy vicious and long finish — 9 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
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
fucking vicious — 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
Very interesting. Light weight on the tongue (not vicious) but Strong and full flavored — 9 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

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
