Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Offers beautiful blueberry, raspberry, and cherry notes intermixed with toasty new oak, spring flowers, lovely fruit, and fine length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Christian Serafin's 2010 Morey St. Denis Les Millandes is a brawny red Burgundy, endowed with complex fruit and spice aromas and flavors -- black cherries, leather and tobacco. Terrific balance and depth on the finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Generous wood presently fights somewhat with the otherwise notably ripe aromas of earth, smoke, dark berry fruit and a touch of the sauvage. The impressive concentrated, rich and mouth coating big-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the dusty, intense and driving finish..."

"The dense plum/purple-colored 1999 offers up aromas of truffles, underbrush, espresso, black cherries, and roasted meats. The wine is powerful and muscular with high extract and mouth-searing tannin, it is an atypically backward effort for the vintage. Patient connoisseurs who admire wines with..

Robert Parker: "This classic, backward, tannic St.-Julien is made in the style of the 1996 and 1986. The 2006 Ducru Beaucaillou possesses a dense purple color along with a sweet perfume of graphite, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, and subtle toasty oak ... This is a big, substantial, meaty,..
