Asian spices, tapenade, incense, licorice, espresso, and blackberry aromas inform the nose of this structured, dense plush, powerful yet elegant offering. It is beautifully proportioned with exceptional length and incipient complexity. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it from 2015 to 2029." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45469 95-98 points Parker!! http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45468 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45452 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45451 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45467 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45461 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45465 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45454 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45453 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45455 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45459 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45466 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45458 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45457 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45456 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45464 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45463 94 pts. Wine Spectator: "Voluptuous and velvety. Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of blackberries, fresh mushrooms and dried herbs. Full-bodied, with loads of ripe fruit and velvety tannins." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=CE494 98-100 points Parker: "The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous (meaning "the swale of fools") comes from a 33-acre parcel of 50-55 year old vines in La Crau. Composed of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Vaccarese and 10% Cinsault, it has long been one of my favorite single vineyard Chateauneufs from Clos Saint-Jean. The Grenache is aged in tank and the Syrah in small barrels. It boasts a dense blue/purple color as well as copious notes of charcuterie, smoked duck, bouquet garni, spring flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries, charcoal and licorice. Full-bodied with striking intensity and richness, good acidity, and a 60-second finish, it reminds me of the youthful 2005 combined with the sweet tannin and expansiveness of the 2007. It should drink well for 25-30 years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45350 98-100 points Parker: "The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina (a cuvee that has been one of the wines of the vintage since its debut in 2003) is made of 60% tank-aged Grenache and 40% demi-muid-aged Mourvedre. The fruit comes from 60-105 year old vines located in the renowned La Crau sector. The opaque purple-colored 2010 exhibits a profound perfume of lead pencil shavings, blueberries, blackberries, sweet cherries, roasted meats and lavender aromas, awesome texture, massive concentration and power, off the charts richness, excellent acidity and terrific delineation. It should provide immense pleasure for at least 25-30 years. Once more, it is a candidate for the wine of the vintage." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45351 95-97 points Parker: "The 2010 (a 100% barrel-aged blend of nearly equal parts Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre) exhibits a dense purple color, great acid, ripe tannin and is clearly a modern day classic meant to age for three decades or more. Notes of cassis, blackberries, camphor, graphite and licorice emerge from this full-bodied, pure, intense, super-layered Chateauneuf du Pape. The tannins are sweet, the acidity is fresh, and the pH is a healthy 3.6. This 2010 should behave somewhat like the brilliant 2001, needing 7-8 years of bottle age, and drinking well over the following 25+ years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45448 95-97 points Parker: "The 2010 (a 100% barrel-aged blend of nearly equal parts Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre) exhibits a dense purple color, great acid, ripe tannin and is clearly a modern day classic meant to age for three decades or more.

Its dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles, camphor, earth, incense, new saddle leather, and loads of peppery, blackberry, and herb-infused, meaty, black cherry fruit. Deep, full-bodied, and dense, with sweet tannin, this explosively rich Chateauneuf is a stronger effort than the 2005, 2004, or 2003. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=39279 96 points Parker: "Beaucastel's 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out even better out of bottle than I predicted. An inky/ruby/purple color is followed by a glorious nose of blue and black fruits, truffles, pen ink, licorice, and meat juices as well as glorious levels of acidity and sweet tannin, buttressing the fruit's fabulous freshness and vibrancy. This full-bodied effort still displays considerable tannin, no doubt because of the relatively high Mourvedre content. It should resolve its tannins in 2-4 years, and last for 25 or more." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=39363 94+ points Parker:" "The 2005 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is a wine that probably needs 7-10 years of bottle age. Possibly the most backward and closed Beaucastel made since the 1995, the wine has very high tannins, seems totally closed aromatically, but in the mouth is a weighty wine exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color and tight aromatics consisting of new saddle leather, porcini, meat juices, licorice, tar, and black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, very tannic, and structured in a dramatically masculine, ageworthy style. This is one for the younger generation or those with considerable patience. I can't see it being close to drinkable before 2014 and lasting up to 30 or more years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=36309 92+ points Parker: "The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape turned out as well as I could have hoped and is certainly an outstanding wine, deep ruby/purple with a tight but promising nose of black fruits, loamy, earthy notes intermixed with pepper, smoke, licorice, and dried herbs. The wine is somewhat closed in the mouth (but it had been bottled 30 days prior to my visit), has full bodied, moderately high, slightly rustic tannins, but big-impact flavors with plenty of texture, density, and purity. Give this wine 3-5 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 20 years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=34170 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=RO231 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=RR310 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=RO181 90 points Parker: "Still remarkably youthful looking, and slow to evolve, this is a powerful, concentrated, and rich Sauternes, with decades of life ahead of it. Lemon, tropical fruit, and vanillin oaky aromas titillate the olfactory glands. Tight, yet rich, full-bodied flavors reveal marvelous balance and richness. It is aging at a snail's pace. Anticipated maturity: Now-2025. Last tasted, 12/90." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=C1360 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45439 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45443 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45444 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45442 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45440 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45441 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=26598 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=26344 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=26559 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=16513 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=10536 94 points Parker: "The 2001 Lafite Rothschild's deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar. This blend of 86.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13.5% Merlot is a classic example of Lafite. Extremely elegant, medium-bodied, with intense concentration, richness, and sweet tannin, it appears to be on a rapid evolutionary track, at least in comparison to recent Lafite vintages that have been far more backward and powerful. The classy 2001 should be at its finest between 2007-2020." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=25202 94 points Parker: "The 2001 Lafite Rothschild's deep, saturated plum/purple color is accompanied by lead pencil liqueur-like notes intermixed with sweet red and black currants, plums, and cedar.

Cherries, plums, spices and French oak meld together beautifully in this silky, textured red. In 2005 the Tenuta Nuova boasts fabulous overall balance in a fairly restrained style for this bottling. Kirsch, roses and spices linger on the dark, enveloping finish. This is a terrific effort from Casanova di Neri. The Tenuta Nuova is made from vineyards in Le Cetine and Pietradonice, both located in the southern part of Montalcino. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=43078 98 points Galloni: "The 2007 Barolo Ciabot Mentin is one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted at this address. Deep, sensual layers of fruit flow from the glass as this full-throttle, intense Barolo reveals its profound, breathtaking personality. The 2007 shows tons of Ginestra nuance, but with extra dimensions to the fruit that literally covers every nook and cranny of the palate. Tasting this next to the 2006 is quite a comparison, as both wines are fabulous. Readers who can should be sure to own bottles of both. A side-by-side comparison is sure to be fascinating as the wines develop over the coming years. Astute readers will note the slight name change here, which is the result of new regulations that require the use of the historic vineyard name, in this case Ginestra, or a proprietary name. Call me nostalgic, but it is sad to see one of the iconic labels in Barolo disappear. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=43191 95 points Parker: "The 1990 will charm tasters with its flashy display of opulent Merlot (about 40% of the blend) mixed with ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. It was one of the more forward 1990s in the tasting, which no doubt accounted for its precocious showing. This super-concentrated wine possesses a roasted herb, sweet, jammy black fruit-scented nose, with noteworthy opulence and succulence. Pure and full-bodied, this concentrated wine conceals more tannin than it is presently revealing. The wine is open, flattering, and impossible to resist. It will continue to mature for 15-20 years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=11020 97-99 points Parker: "Composed of 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 4% Mourvedre and 4% miscellaneous varietals, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol, which is slightly lower than the 2009. It reveals a deep ruby/purple color along with wonderful sweetness and lots of roasted meat characteristics intermixed with notions of herbs, forest floor, kirsch and black fruits. The tannins are surprisingly soft, the wine has great intensity and a blacker fruit profile than even the 2009. It looks to be another superb effort that should slightly eclipse the 2009. Like the 1989 and 1990 Cuvee Reservees, it may be impossible to pick a favorite between the 2010 and 2009. As I recall, Paul has always favored the 1990, Laurence the 1989." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=44972 92-95 points Tanzer: "Bright ruby red. Perfumed, high-pitched aromas of cherry, minerals, spices and licorice: Cellarmaster Christophe Bouillot describes this as the domain's "upstairs Corton," while the Bressandes is their downstairs version. Precise and fine-grained in the mouth, with lovely mineral and violet high notes lifting the black cherry and licorice flavors. Really saturates the palate without leaving any impression of undue weight. Very long on the aftertaste." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45431 91-93 points Tanzer: "Good deep red. Perfumed aromas and flavors of redcurrant, blackberry, iron and spices. Suave, saline and nicely delineated, with excellent framing acidity and lift to the red fruit flavors. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and excellent penetrating length. Boasts a Volnay-side elegance for Pommard." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45430 91-93 points Tanzer: "(still full of gas following the late malolactic fermentation): Lovely lift to the aromas of black fruits and licorice. Suave, layered and precise, with nicely integrated acidity giving shape to the sweet fruit. Actually rather open-knit and ample wine, especially considering the CO2. Finishes seamless, subtle and very long." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45427 91-93 points Tanzer: "Good ruby-red. Blackberry and chocolate on the nose and palate. Sweet, lush and pure, combining a rather gentle texture and very good lift. Suave, fine-grained Volnay with ripe tannins and lovely lingering purple fruits." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45428 91-93 points Tanzer: "Good ruby-red. Blackberry and chocolate on the nose and palate. Sweet, lush and pure, combining a rather gentle texture and very good lift. Suave, fine-grained Volnay with ripe tannins and lovely lingering purple fruits." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45429 91-94 points Tanzer: "Good bright red. Perfumed nose offers blackberry, licorice and violet. Sweet, lively and intense, with flavors of wild berries, game and silex framed and lifted by fruity, peppery acidity. Finishes very long and brisk, with terrific fruit and very suave tannins. Classy juice." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45426 91-94? points Tanzer: "Bright dark red. Compelling nose offers raspberry, blueberry, clove, smoky minerality, coffee and mocha. Highly concentrated and vibrant, with a distinctly saline character leavening the wine's sweetness. The strong brown spice element carries through on the palate. Finishes very long but a bit youthfully brutal, with strong, almost tart acidity. This will need extended aging to come into harmony." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45417 92-95 points Tanzer: "Bright, deep red. High-toned, captivating aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and exotic spices. Lush on entry, then vibrant in the middle, with a peppery minerality washing over the palate. Impressively dense but extremely unevolved today, this grand cru's wake-up call of a finish stimulates the taste buds with a flavor of fruity Tellicherry pepper. (My sample of Potel's Clos de Beze had been pulled from barrel a few days prior to my visit and was not fresh enough to assess with confidence.)" http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45419 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45418 92-94 points Tanzer: "Good deep red-ruby. Mocha, spices and earth on the nose, with suggestions of very ripe fruit; lower-toned than the Clos Saint-Denis. Round, layered and broad in the mouth, showing impressive volume leavened by a strong cardamom spiciness. Can't match the Clos Saint-Denis today for lift but this sexy wine is still a baby. Tannins are thoroughly buffered by mid-palate stuffing." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45414 92-95 points Tanzer: "Bright deep red. Knockout perfume of sexy brown spices and rose petal. Sappy but youthfully imploded, with the powerful brown spice character carrying through on the palate. Boasts uncanny sweetness and purity, not to mention inner-mouth lift and saline complexity, but this wine will require several years of cellaring. Most impressive today on the building, palate-staining pepper-and-spice finish." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45413 91-93 points Tanzer: "Bright deep red. Candied black cherry and spices on the superripe nose. Very rich but surprisingly dry in the mouth, with a strong spice character to the flavors of black cherry, blackberry and licorice. Finishes with a vibrant flavor of crushed black cherry but the building tannins show a faint dry edge." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45415 91-93 points Tanzer: "Medium red. Complex, enticing aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, rose petal, spices, licorice and minerals. Then juicy but rather closed and a bit dry on the palate, with tart red berry flavors dominating. Finishes with strong tannins that will require several years of bottle aging to harmonize with the wine's fruit. This became sweeter with aeration but nonetheless appears to be in an awkward stage today." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45416 91-94 points Tanzer: "Good full red. Captivating, high-toned nose offers blueberry, exotic herbs, pungent stony minerality and complex spice notes of clove, cumin and cardamom. Supple, fine-grained and seductively sweet, with a velvety texture and harmonious tannins. Very ripe and sexy wine, made from fruit picked at the beginning of October." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45423 92-95 points Tanzer: 91-94 points Tanzer: "Good full red. Captivating, high-toned nose offers blueberry, exotic herbs, pungent stony minerality and complex spice notes of clove, cumin and cardamom. Supple, fine-grained and seductively sweet, with a velvety texture and harmonious tannins. Very ripe and sexy wine, made from fruit picked at the beginning of October."Good full red. Musky raspberry, coffee and mocha on the nose. Offers an exhilarating balance of sweetness and acidity, with vibrant flavors of cranberry and pomegranate dominating. Displays its inherent complexity on the very long but subtle finish, which saturates the palate with sappy crushed red berry flavors lifted by flowers. A great showing." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45422 92-95 points Tanzer: "Bright, full red. Liqueur-like raspberry syrup and mocha aromas lifted by stony minerality and peppermint. Lush and silky on entry, then more powerful in the middle, with a strong crushed stone element giving shape to the raspberry and mint flavors. Finishes strong and very long, with fine-grained tannins and noteworthy energy." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45412 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45411 93-96 points Tanzer: (just one barrel made): Good full bright red. Musky aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, peppermint and smoky oak, plus a whiff of liqueur-like red berries. Fat, silky and broad but not overly sweet; quite voluminous for a 2010 from this cellar, with an alcohol level of 13.5%. Builds impressively on the back half, saturating the entire mouth with flavor and virtually hiding its tannins today. Extremely long and smooth on the finish." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45420 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45421 91-94 points Tanzer: "Bright medium red. Medicinal red fruits and a hint of menthol on the nose. Sweet, dense and sappy on the palate, with urgent, soil-driven flavors of raspberry, pepper, spices and minerals. Finishes long and perfumed, with black fruit and crushed stone flavors that easily outlast the wine's tannins. Impressive potential." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45424 92-95 points Tanzer: "Bright, deep red. Highly perfumed aromas of raspberry, cocoa powder, mint and cumin. At once sweet and sharply delineated, with a distinctly high pitch and a light touch to the flavors of dark berries, dusty spices and flowers. Particularly explosive on the back half, finishing with steadily building flavor and firm tannins that reach the front teeth. This one makes the Beaux-Monts look oaky by comparison." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45425 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=40368 92-94 points Parker's WA: "This Rieussec has a dense, quite oaky nose at the moment with good fruit concentration underneath. Honey, apple-blossom and peach. The palate is very well balanced with a lot of botrytis. One of the few really unctuous, weighty 2007 Sauternes with great length and persistency. Honey and citrus lemon on the finish. Very focused although perhaps it lacks the "soul" of some other 2007's here. Drink 2010-2025. Tasted April 2008." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=38842 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=45231 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=42629 94 points Rovani: "Though less powerful than the 2003, the aromatically floral 2004 Merlot holds its own in a qualitative comparison. Its nose of roses, wild berries, and cherries leads to a medium to full-bodied, pure core of spicy black cherries. An elegant yet full-flavored wine, it is a candidate for drinking over the next 8-9 years." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=39205 96 points Parker: "The 1983 is among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 20 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin. The vintage commenced early for Yquem, beginning on September 29 and finishing on November 18. Most observers feel the 1983 will mature more slowly than the 1986, and will last for almost 100 years. Given Yquem's unbelievable aging potential, such comments do not seem far fetched. At present, the 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak. I do not feel the wine has changed since bottling, and I would not want to start drinking it for at least another 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2050. Last tasted, 12/90." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=A1338 http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=44637 96 points Spectator: "Dried dark fruit on the nose, verging on date and prune. Full-bodied, with a dense palate of ripe fruit and supersilky tannins. This is a deep and beaufiful red, delivering lots of subtle character. Fascinating. One of the undiscovered treasures of the vintage." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=39848 96 points Parker: "The 1983 Margaux is a breathtaking wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes achieved perfect maturity in 1983, and the result is an astonishingly rich, concentrated, atypically powerful and tannic Margaux. The color is dark ruby, the aromas exude ripe cassis fruit, violets, and vanillin oakiness, and the flavors are extremely deep and long on the palate with a clean, incredibly long finish. This full-bodied, powerful wine remains stubbornly backward and at least 5-6 years away from maturity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2030. Last tasted 9/97" http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=RO785 94 points Parker (new Bordeaux book): "This wine has just begun to reveal its true personality, having under-performed for most of its life. In half-bottles it is close to maturity, but in 750ml bottles, it still needs another 4-5 years of cellaring (at least those that were purchased in pristine condition and stored properly). The color is a medium dark ruby with a garnet center. The multidimensional nose offers up notes of dried herbs, sweet damp earth, espresso, black cherries, prunes, cedar, iodine, and iron. Extremely complex aromatically, this full-bodied, still tannic, concentrated, old style Bordeaux has two to three decades of life remaining. It is impressive, but clearly from the old-school of Bordeaux winemaking with rustic tannin, but huge depth and body. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035." http://www.premiercru.net/premier/shop/WineDetails.do?wineId=RO226
