Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good bright, full red. Knockout deeply pitched aromas and flavors of plum, redcurrant, mocha, spices and earth complicated by a whiff of dried rose. Began atypically plump for young Clos Saint-Denis but gained shape in the glass, showing a restrained sweetness to its red fruit and soil flavors. ..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A moderately toasty nose fights somewhat with the spicy plum, cassis, warm earth and game suffused aromas. There is a plush mouth feel to the big-bodied and muscular flavors that display a discreet minerality before terminating in a firm, vibrant and quite serious finish. This extremely rich..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Thought by many tasters to be the wine of the vintage at the time of the 2004 barrel tastings. Has it retained that status? It is certainly a hugely powerful wine, monumental even. It is also finely balanced, with great dark tannins working in partnership with brooding black fruit. The question is..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"If the Criots is the ripest of these grands crus, then the Demoiselles possesses the most elegant nose with a complex mix of white flowers, pear, stone, spice and citrus nuances. The impressively proportioned flavors are surprisingly approachable, at least in the context of a classic Chevalier..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Big and bold for the year, the tannins quite solid with a tight character. The fruit flavors are rich and intense, spiced with toast and acidity. Through it all goes the tell-tale 2007 streak of acidity."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, ratchets up the level of succulence, juiciness, and opulence. It is a fabulous, compelling effort of multiple dimensions. Classic aromas and flavors of licorice, kirsch liqueur, balsam wood, and lavender are found in this enormously full-bodied..

"Stephan von Neipperg's tiny jewel of a vineyard 12 acres produces the ultimate garage wine from 50-year old vines. A candidate for the wine of the vintage, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is a big, concentrated effort of extraordinary intensity and richness. A sensational bouquet..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Bâtard Montrachet is a full bodied wine, rich and powerful. It stuns the drinker with intense flavor of almonds, ripe apple, white flowers, honey and spices. In addition, the length in the mouth is remarkable.

Batard Montrachet is the perfect partner for elegant dining: foie gras,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There's a streak of minerality and a lacy texture to this floral Champagne, with finely tuned acidity to focus the candied lemon zest, poached pear, nutmeg and ginger hints. A more delicate style, but seamless in its balance and finesse, with a subtle finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The broodingly tannic, backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated, pure, and deep. It is an amazing tour de force in winemaking, but like nearly all the Perse..
