Cellar/Tasting Notes
" Medium red-ruby. Expressive nose melds currant, cherry, tobacco leaf and fresh herbs. Supple and drinkable already, with a fragrant component of exotic smoky oak adding interest to the dark berry and herbal flavors. Finishes slightly tart, with a fine dusting of tannins."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
It boasts an inky/purple color along with a gorgeous bouquet of mocha, chocolate, blackberry and cassis fruit, an unctuous texture, a full-bodied, viscous mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like, multilayered finish. This spectacular wine is nearly overwhelming in its richness, thickness and intensity.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Domaine Tortochot's 2010 Chambertin is a serious wine from a serious winemaker. Chantal Tortochot is an "old school" wine maker with a modern touch, who lets the greatness of the wine speak for itself. Dark fruits, violets, plum and truffle on the nose, followed by a mouth-coating blend of dark..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good medium red. Red fruit aromas of cherry, redcurrant and raspberry lifted by a floral element. Supple and suave on entry, then seamless in the middle, with floral and mineral notes giving the wine excellent life in the mouth. A bit less obviously sweet toward the back, finishing with..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very good ruby-red. Currant, tobacco, game and roasted nuts on the expressive nose. Full, supple and sweetly oaky. Also wears its oak more gracefully. Very long on the finish, with ripe, tongue-coating tannins."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"92-94 Barrel sample. A complete wine, rich and opulent. It has all the right balances of acidity, sweet fruits, black flavors and underlying dry tannins. Excellent."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The dark ruby/purple-hued 2009 Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux offers a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries and blackberries, a silky texture, and a dense, concentrated, but seamless mouthfeel. This glorious wine should drink well for 20 or more years. (Tasted once.)"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very dense, with espresso, maduro tobacco and a strong tarry edge leading the way for now, while a core of plum cake, hoisin sauce and steeped black currant broods in the background. The dense, ganache-filled finish demands cellaring. This is just a half step behind the La La bottlings now. Very..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Tiny yields, malolactic in barrel, aging on its lees and no fining or filtration produced an exotic, full-throttle St.-Emilion boasting an explosive nose of blueberry pie, lead pencil shavings, black truffles, camphor, incense and toasty oak. Made in a borderline extreme style, the wine is..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This offers excellent aromatic depth with a complex and layered nose of red, blue and black pinot fruit laced with subtle spice and earth notes, both of which continue onto the serious, rich and relatively full-bodied flavors that are firm, long and quite pure. This is a relatively refined effort..
