Im sorry, did I just open a Barbaresco? What a nose. Mouth-filling. Delicious. — 9 years ago
Disappointingly simple for an aged Barolo. Was hoping for it to bloom a little over a couple of hours but was searching for something that never came. Good, straight-ahead Nebbiolo but lacks fineness. Better with food. — 8 years ago
The day the world realises what amazing value lies in Rioja will be a sad day for my wallet. What promises to be a classic vintage from one of THE classic Alta producers for $30? You don't get that anywhere else. Deliciously aromatic. Dried flowers and dried orange peel in a spice cupboard which is exactly where they belong. Surprisingly approachable for a young Reserva with such stuffing - fine tannins and great acidity in perfect balance with bitter cherry compote and dark chocolate on the finish. So good with the lasagne we paired it with. I ate so much bloody lasagne. I just didn't want it to end. This wine is ready to go right now but I will be buying a case and attempting to hold it until the ruby turns brick-orange and all the secondary complexities of this classic bottling come to fruition. Christ, I'm full! — 9 years ago

Jesus Christ in a bread bin!! This wine is everything I wanted it to be. The spice, the raisins, the leather. Great balance, exactly where it needs to be. Terrific. An ethereal experience. — 9 years ago
