Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Medium red. Very ripe aromas of redcurrant and chocolate truffle. Sweet, fat and lush in the mouth, but with its red berry flavors currently overshadowed by the wine's oak element. Best today on the rich, ripe back end, which features notes of cocoa powder and smoky minerality."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Smoke, tar, freshly cut flowers, new leather and licorice are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from the 2007 Barolo Bric del Fiasc. The 2007 is an opulent, explosive Bric del Fiasc that flows with marvelous density, richness and power. The wine captures all of the best qualities of the..

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
Louis Jadot Vosne Romanée "Les Petits Monts" is not very well known because it is a quite small vineyard.

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Knockout nose combines black raspberry, black cherry, flowers, chocolate and a hint of leather. At once sappy and voluminous…Suave tannins and explosive length on the expanding finish. Grand cru quality here."

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..
