Cellar/Tasting Notes
"…this is an outstanding effort from a vineyard situated next to the garagiste superstar, Le Pin. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of truffles, chocolate, kirsch, fig, coffee, and toasty oak. Deep and full-bodied with a broad, savory mouthfeel, and a layered finish, this..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"True to the Mugnier style, this is also wonderfully pure with its expressive nose of earthy red pinot fruit that also exhibits notes of underbrush and a mineral component that is picked up by the vibrant and well-delineated middle weight flavors. The mid-palate is relatively refined and the Nuits..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is also quite spicy with ripe and well-layered aromas of red and blue pinot fruit that is satisfyingly fresh. The rich, dense and enveloping flavors possess excellent phenolic maturity as well as outstanding depth and length on the mouth coating finish..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very pure extract of red pinot fruit nose is liberally laced with earth and rose petal hints that give way to rich, full-bodied and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors that possess mouth coating extract. There is a restrained character to the beautifully balanced, long and moderately..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Not surprisingly, this is markedly more elegant with a lightly spiced nose of violets, plums and cassis plus nuances of earth and stone. There is excellent richness to the generous and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by a firm but ripe tannic spine that culminates in a..

"The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Damodes emerges from the glass with layers of rich, sumptuous fruit. This is an especially silky, round Damodes. I especially like the way the wine blossoms on the palate with an intricate fabric of expressive fruit..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Smoke, slate, super-ripe apricots and butter are some of the many notes that are woven together in the 2010 Meursault Charmes. A generous, large-scaled wine, the Charmes flows with tons of textural richness and body all the way through to the seamless finish. The Charmes is easily one of the more..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An unqualified sleeper of the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 1995 Grand-Mayne displays a sweet, creamy, black raspberry-scented nose with subtle notes of smoky, toasty oak. Both powerful and elegant, this wine exhibits layers of richness, nicely integrated acidity and tannin, and an impressive..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2003 Barolo Vigna del Gris reveals super-ripe aromatics followed by perfumed, sweet red fruits. Medium in body, this floral, delicate Barolo possesses outstanding length..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2004 Barolo Riserva Ginestra is a rich, layered wine that captures the essence of this great vintage. Dark plums, black cherries, tar, leather and licorice all make an appearance in this kaleidoscopic, multi-dimensional Barolo. Each taste brings with it a new shade of nuance, expressing the..
