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. Dark cherries, tobacco, incense, dried flowers and minerals come together beautifully in the glass in this sensual, understated wine. Tobacco, licorice, menthol and an..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The most powerful, finest overall wine made at this estate since their 1982, the muscular 2009 reveals a dense ruby/purple color in addition to meaty, smoky notes of black cherries, iron, truffles, loamy soil, and spice. Dense, full-bodied, and virile with a boatload of tannin, patience will be a..

The acidity..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A restrained, cool and elegant nose is quite broad in its aromatic spectrum with notes of citrus, stone, spice, wood, apple and white rose petal. The intense, muscular and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors brim with dry extract as well as plenty of minerality on the explosively long, dry and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Gorgeous kirsch liqueur notes, raspberry jam, forest floor, spice box, new saddle leather and a peppery spiciness are all present in this deep, voluptuously textured, open-knit Clos des Papes, which is atypically forward, luscious and approachable already. These wines often need a good 5-10 years..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Ferocious extract, huge tannin, an opaque purple color, and enormous richness all make for a potentially brilliant wine from this vineyard, located on the plateau of Pomerol just adjacent to Petrus. Probably a late finisher of malolactic given its showing on three separate occasions, this wine,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"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..
