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 ..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very pure, with alluring aromas and flavors of strawberry, currant and cherry surrounded by a supple texture. This suave red is firmly structured, with a lingering finish of spice and mineral. Already quite open, but complex and firmly structured."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine blessed with gorgeous clarity and precision in an effortless, weightless style.

"Midnight oil? Dense black purple to the rim, the 2009 Lascombes has enormous concentration, with loads of graphite, blackberry, and blueberry notes as well as hints of pen ink and truffle. The wine is super-intense, full-bodied, fleshy, and rich. This is another wine that will compete with the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2007 Altos de Lanzaga has a spellbinding, pure bouquet of red currant, wild strawberry and thyme that is imbued with immense purity and delineation. The palate has a satin-like texture with superb acidity and filigree tannins that lend it a Burgundian, Romanee-St-Vivant inspired finish. This..
