Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Stunningly beautiful, the 2010 Le Montrachet (from Chassagne) boasts gorgeous aromatic nuance, beautifully delineated fruit and tons of energy. The exuberance of the fruit is nicely balanced by veins of intense underlying minerality ... In 2010, Le Montrachet is simply stunning. Wow." (Antonio..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A tight but incredibly pronounced nose of smoke, earth minerals, lead pencil, black currants, cherries, and spice... full-bodied... rich multi-tiered, stunningly pure, symmetrical style with wonderful sweetness... it tastes like liquid nobility."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
RP: "Perfumed and pretty. Classy and elegant on the nose, with currant, light vanilla and a hint of lilac. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. All in finesse. Very impressive; could be the wine of the vintage."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
JS: "Complex aromas of tobacco, cedar, berry and currants. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and ripe tannins. Not as good as a barrel sample tasted earlier, but still outstanding for the vintage. Best after 2009."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A spicy, ripe, elegant and admirably pure nose offers up notes of anise, sandalwood and clove that add breadth to the floral, earth and stone-suffused aromas.

"A rich, sensual tapestry of dark plums, cherries, smoke, incense, tar and licorice emerges from the 2005 Barolo Riserva Monfortino.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), it is an extremely..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is completely different and trades elegance for notably more aromatic complexity as here the nose is impressively broad-ranging with its panoply of ripe orchard fruit, rose, lavender and white flower nuances coupled with notes of citrus peel, stone and spices. There is a discreet touch of..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"It takes only a few moments before you appreciate the enormity, intensity and overall beauty of this landmark wine. Cerretalto is always a high scoring expression of Brunello, but the ideal conditions of the 2007 vintage elevate it to earthly perfection. Dark and fleshy, the wine delivers..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Background notes of wood are discernible but stop short of being invasive as they still allow the restrained, cool and pure dark berry fruit and black cherry aromas to shine. Interestingly this is less overtly spicy as the Amoureuses at present though there is a genuinely gorgeous inner mouth..
