Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Sandalwood, cinnamon, bergamot, and smoky evocation of crushed stone tinge sweet concentrate of black raspberry on the nose; then follow on a palate of already velvet-like textural richness yet vibratory intensity and positively refreshing primary juiciness. Notes of iodine, chard, shrimp shell,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Lots of plum and berry character, with hints of toasted oak and chocolate. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a long flavorful finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This 20+-acre vineyard, acquired by Gerard and Chantal Perse in 2001, is planted on a clay and limestone plateau. The 2009, a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, was cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare, and possesses 14.2% alcohol. One of the top wines of the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Combines power & elegance. Big and dense, yet fresh and very pretty, marked by gobs of red fruits & a long, elegant finish brimming with hints of violets and wood. This is a 'wow' wine."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
RP: "This terroir is superbly situated between Beausejour Duffau and Beau-Sejour-Becot, with Angelus within shouting distance. Bellevue has been managed by Stephane Derenoncourt and Nicolas Thienpont since 2000, and when St.-Emilion does its next new classification (in 2016), I would not be..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Made by the legendary winemaker of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia, this is a robust and luxurious Nero d'Avola. A velvety palate of lush, concentrated dark cherries and spice is balanced with delicate acidity and ripe, sweet tannins on a long sexy finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Terre Nere’s 2010 Etna Bianco Cuvee Vigne Niche wraps around the palate with serious depth, power and richness. I very much like the way the 2010 fleshes out in the glass, coming at the palate in all directions with seemingly endless layers and pure, delineated fruit. Smoke, white truffle and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Big and dark, with cola, forest floor and other dark, secure aromas. The palate is young and burly, with ripe blackberry, cola and coffee flavors. As you’d expect, it’s a bit more narrow than Matallana’s top wine, but it’s still round, long and not difficult to like. Classic modern RDD; dark and..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A major sleeper of the vintage, this outstanding wine from the Aubert family in St.-Emilion has terrific plum, black cherry and cassis fruit as well as hints of earth and flowers. Supple-textured, opulent and savory, it is a heady, fleshy wine to drink over the next 3-5 years.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color ... full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock ... [One] of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland ... of Fontenil in Fronsac."
