Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Beautifully dense, this generous, rich wine combines great fruit with a firm but sweet structure. The new wood element is still prominent, but this is now beginning to blend well with the ripe fruit. To finish, the tannins reassert themselves."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"An openly exotic nose of ripe orchard fruit, mango and papaya is very much in keeping with the opulent and very generous full-bodied flavors that possess excellent volume and ample amounts of dry extract that buffers the firm acidity. Despite the naturally sweet palate impression, the lingering..

"A strong effort, the 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron is the softest of all Delas's 2009 Northern Rhones, offering up notes of black olives, lychee nuts, raspberries and black currants. This finesse-styled, elegant red should provide delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Extremely sexy, soft, supple and opulent, with notes of cedar, herbs, incense and black currant fruit, this is a full-bodied, generously endowed but silky Talbot to drink now and over the next 20+ years. By any standard of measurement, this is irresistible.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A big, powerful Margaux that should age for 20+ years, this inky purple-colored wine exhibits notes of spring flowers intermixed with blackberries, raspberries and cassis. Some lead pencil shavings and toasty oak are also present in this powerful yet at the same time very pure, textured,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is a taut wine, touched by yeast and warmed by ripe yellow fruit. Flavors of melon and spice from the new wood give it an open feel. It’s ripe, already rounded and full bodied."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"...The wine reveals a dense blue/purple color in addition to a bouquet of burning embers intermixed with charcoal, graphite, blackberries, and cassis. Extracted, but not excessively so, and full-bodied, with lots of tannin and structure..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Another gorgeous white Graves from this vintage, this wine offers up notes of honeysuckle, lanolin, sweet citrus, and hints of orange peel as well as quince and white currants. It is medium to full-bodied, with fresh acidity, subtle nuances of smoky oak, and a long finish. It should drink well for..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A discreet touch of wood sets off a ripe, fresh and completely classic Meursault nose of hazelnut, yellow orchard fruit and softly spiced pear aromas that give way to rich, full-bodied and opulent flavors that retain a fine sense of cut and plenty of energy on the agreeably dry, balanced and long..
