Cellar/Tasting Notes
"...lots of fresh black truffle and berry character. Full bodied, with an impressive amount of ripe fruit...Long and chewy finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A high-toned and exceptionally pure red pinot fruit nose with hints of earth, anise and wet stone, which also suffuse the pure, understated and precise flavors that possess a lacy texture that is very Volnay in character, all wrapped in a racy finish that is nothing but finesse

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is brighter, fresher and more vibrant than the 2009.Black cherries, mocha, violets, licorice and graphite all jump from the glass. The 2010 is quite typical of the vintage in its verve, cut, focus and minerality. This is a terrific showing. Anticipated maturity:..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Extremely sexy, soft, supple and opulent, with notes of cedar, herbs, incense and black currant fruit, this is a full-bodied, generously endowed but silky Talbot to drink now and over the next 20+ years. By any standard of measurement, this is irresistible.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Vivid ruby. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of candied cherry, blackberry and incense, with a hint of star anise in the background. Juicy and taut on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering sappy red and dark berry flavors that take on weight with air. Finishes with gentle tannins, very..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"...The wine reveals a dense blue/purple color in addition to a bouquet of burning embers intermixed with charcoal, graphite, blackberries, and cassis. Extracted, but not excessively so, and full-bodied, with lots of tannin and structure..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance. The 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort. Its inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by an exceptional bouquet of powdered rock, blackberries, blueberries, spring..
