Cellar/Tasting Notes
"It could be easy, after tasting the monumental 2005, to dismiss the 2006 Troplong Mondot, but don’t be so foolish. Proprietress Christine Valette has turned out another exceptional performance... the 2006 Troplong Mondot is an impressive, powerful, broad, surprisingly masculine and deep effort...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This masculine-styled Pomerol exhibits notes of iron, earth, vitamins, black cherries, and blackberries. It is reminiscent of a Trotanoy in terms of personality and appellation character. Full-bodied and super-dense with a boatload of tannin as well as unbridled power, richness, and depth ...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A lush Merlot-Cab blend with a typical St Emilion nose of violet and dark fruit that follows through to a full-bodied palate. Fully mature now and ready to drink and will remain that way for at least half a decade. For its consistently high quality, this Right Bank Bordeaux property was elevated to..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Christian Serafin's 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Fontenys is a striking wine -- richly layered dark red fruit opens up gracefully in the glass. Excellent balance of all the elements.

"The 2008 Barolo Cicala is beautifully focused and vibrant from start to finish. It boasts fabulous energy and sheer tension in its ripe red berries, spices, crushed flowers and mint. All the elements come together beautifully in this pure, delineated Barolo. Huge, powerful tannins provide the..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Good deep red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and violet on the nose; smells deep. Very ripe and sweet, with firm spine to the flavors of black fruits and violet. The substantial sweet, fine tannins really melt into the finish. Conveys an almost chocolatey ripeness while maintaining excellent..
