Cellar/Tasting Notes
The soft, sexy 2009 exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of raspberries, black cherries, black currants, smoke and forest floor. Opulent and round with an attractive viscosity as well as outstanding purity, depth and length, it should drink well for two decades. While..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Intense aromas of blackberry and smoke. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and long finish. Solid and tight. As it should be."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Beautiful structure. Vanilla, tobacco, dark fruit, some earthy flavors.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... there is good ripeness to the vibrant and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that exude a fine minerality on the precise, pure and lingering finish. This is a quality villages that is a bit more forward than the old vines cuvée."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A softly oaky nose frames a pretty and fresh nose of white peach, spiced pear and discreet citrus notes that precede the rich and notably generous medium-bodied flavors that possess a round mouth feel where the energy picks up considerably on the linear and ever-so-mildly austere finish. A..

It is a gorgeous wine at this level and a great..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
" A very fresh and admirably pure nose offers up notes of white flower, spiced pear, wet stone and lemon hints that continue over to the intensely mineral-driven and beguilingly textured medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a citrusy, dry and solidly persistent finish. Lovely."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Bright, dark red. Reduced aromas of cherry, redcurrant, minerals and chocolate. Suave, silky and fleshy but tight; shows more presence in the mouth than the Vosne-side Chaignots, as well as an earthy complexity to the tangy red cherry flavor. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent, with the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"More backward and concentrated, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as dense, black raspberry, black currant, garrigue, licorice and lavender characteristics. Full-bodied with undeniable elegance, minerality and precision, it needs 2-3 years of cellaring and..
