Just an outstanding bottle. Solid core of dried cherry and black plum fruit. Showing great balance and nuance, with a softening texture and secondary flavors coming through. Everything you could want in a Chianti Classico normale and drinking brilliantly now. Bravo! — 5 years ago

A stupendous Chardonnay, the kind thats a shining example of what great CA chard can be. Slightly more advanced color than i might have expected, but the palate is full and rich with ripe lemon, a tropical note of passion fruit, and a very long mouthfilling finish. This is wide open for business and exuberant now -- I say drink up as I'm not sure the acidity or focus is there to expect much more improvement — 6 years ago

A little leaner Thani might have expected, but nicely elegant and balanced. Could go another decade easily. — 5 years ago

Stunning. Delicious. Epitome of Grand Cru red Burgundy. Complexity, nuance, balance, class, length. In a great spot now but has the stuff to go decades. Everything you would hope it would be. — 5 years ago

9.5

Epitome of beautiful Barolo. Rose petals, herbs, and a dark base note. Great acidity and vibrancy, still mod rate tannins. Some secondary notes but more development to come if one can keep hands off. Simply classic and delicious. — 5 years ago

Delicious stuff. Rich dark blackberry fruit, with some smoke and camphor. A hint of heat comes through on the finish, along with a mineral or iron note. Labeled as 14.5% bit I doubt that. Kind of a two glasses is enough wine, however... — 5 years ago

Delicious and surprisingly youthful color and palate. Less than average Musar funk This is an excellent mid-weight Musar drinking beautifully now. — 6 years ago
