Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is remarkably similar to the Beaux Monts except that there is a noticeable amount of menthol present. The suave, round and velvety middle weight flavors display an abundance of mouth coating dry extract along with fine complexity and very good if not truly striking length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is gorgeous. Dark red cherries, plums, spices, leather and tobacco wrap around the palate as this dense, powerful wine starts to open up. Expressive aromatics are woven throughout, giving the 2007 a measure of polish and sophistication that is not always present in..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"(vinified with 80% whole clusters; this was racked and then returned to barrel): Good bright red. Raspberry, strawberry, coffee and smoke on the nose. Rich, fine-grained and pliant; wonderfully silky and sweet but with superb building energy on the back half. A Corton grand cru of noteworthy..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso impresses for its richness and sheer power. Mocha, sweet spices, plums, blackberries and herbs wrap around the palate as this intense wine shows off its pedigree. Layers of flavor build to the deep, intensely satisfying finish. The 2009 is complete and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Pinot Noir Estate DuMol Estate is another of the more elegant, textured wines in the range. It captures a highly appealing stylistic middle ground between the Ryan and the Widdoes, with the aromatics and silkiness of the former and the fruit density of the latter. Sweet and perfumed..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good medium red. Sexy, complex aromas of strawberry liqueur, raspberry, iris, truffle, chocolate, mocha and menthol. Suave on entry, then full, lush, sweet and seamless in the middle palate, with subtle floral lift contributing to the impression of definition. Strong in extract and quite..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Under the administration of Catherine Pere-Verge, Le Gay has become a serious, super-concentrated, potentially long-lived Pomerol. The backward 2006 reveals complex notes of plums, black cherries, truffles, and chocolate in a big, masculine, full-bodied, virile style that begs for cellaring. This..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This powerful, top-notch Pomerol is full-bodied and super-endowed, with substantial tannins largely concealed by superb fruit and extract."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Really perfumed and very beautiful, with rose and dark fruits. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit in reserve and superpolished tannins. Builds on the palate. Very powerful. Goes on for a long time on the finish ..."
