Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Deep ruby. Impressively pure raspberry and blackberry aromas are given an exotic twist by fresh violet, anise and graphite. Chewy dark fruit flavors boast remarkable concentration and clarity, with sweet mocha adding interest. Finishes with bright, mineral-accented cherry and cassis flavors and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Beautifully dense, this generous, rich wine combines great fruit with a firm but sweet structure. The new wood element is still prominent, but this is now beginning to blend well with the ripe fruit. To finish, the tannins reassert themselves."

"One of the founding members of the prestigious Amarone Families association who focus on safeguarding the unique winemaking traditions of Valpolicella, Allegrini sets the standard for a new generation of vintners.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Long awaited, the 2004 Insieme of Altare is a gorgeous wine. Cabernet Sauvignon with Nebbiolo amd Barbera in a tiny production. Perfumed and intense and fairly priced for such high quality. Due in November

Louis Jadot produces a deep and colourful wine. It is a very delicate and structured wine with a powerful nose of red berry and terroir aromas. Tannins are round and subtle. This is a fleshy wine and not very acidic.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A strong effort, the 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron is the softest of all Delas's 2009 Northern Rhones, offering up notes of black olives, lychee nuts, raspberries and black currants. This finesse-styled, elegant red should provide delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years."

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:..
