Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2008 reveals supple tannins along with delicious, up-front smoky barbecue notes intermixed with black cherry and black currant fruit. This medium-bodied, silky 2008 is ide...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From very sandy soils east of St.-Emilion, this 2010 also has a big, ball-busting level of alcohol. It offers up loads of black cherry fruit, some underbrush and loamy soil un...

Wine & Spirits: Fresher in style than the Warrior of the '90s, this blend is bright and vibrant, filled with luscious fruit inflected by the black pepper of schisty tannins. It's like a small...

Wine Spectator: This has crunchy acidity, with herb-inflected plum, currant and cherry pit notes. Lots of aromas swirling here, with brisk length.-J.M.

Wine Spectator: Thick and spicy, with unctuous, still slightly raw-seeming layers of apricot, peach and fig. Ginger cream and green tea check in on the finish. Rather backward still, but ther...

Alex Lallos: Brick red color indicates this wine is certainly not New World. Herbaceous nose with a little sulphur, which blows off with time. Flavors of anise and dried fruit glide right ...

Wine & Spirits: This is a selection from botas of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez raised separately and then blended to age for three years in solera. The result puts the sweetness of the PX in fro...
