Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Moderate wood influence fights just a bit with the otherwise very fresh and pretty aromas that display a significant floral component along with ripe scents of plum, cassis and earth. There is fine mid-palate density and excellent phenolic maturity to the large-scaled yet refined flavors that..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Deep ruby. Impressively pure raspberry and blackberry aromas are given an exotic twist by fresh violet, anise and graphite. Chewy dark fruit flavors boast remarkable concentration and clarity, with sweet mocha adding interest. Finishes with bright, mineral-accented cherry and cassis flavors and..

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
"One of the founding members of the prestigious Amarone Families association who focus on safeguarding the unique winemaking traditions of Valpolicella, Allegrini sets the standard for a new generation of vintners. This opens with sweet tones of Indian spice, ripe fruit and tobacco. The mouthfeel..

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
Here the very toasty oak aromas presently dominate the otherwise ripe underlying fruit. There is good freshness and verve to the exceptionally rich, powerful and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that exude a finer minerality that continues onto the gorgeously long finish. There is so much..

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."
