Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Last year I gave the 2009 Hermitage Cuvee Cathelin a three-digit rating, but it was nice to be able to re-taste it since it is largely impossible to find in the marketplace. E...

Wine Spectator: Pure and long, with gorgeous fig, anise and creamed pear notes that sail through. Buried minerality and a lilting floral note hang on through the finish. Drink now through 201...

Wine Spectator: Dark and dense, with stunning espresso, warm ganache and roasted plum aromas giving way to layers of black currant, braised fig and licorice root. The long, grip-filled finish...

Wine Spectator: This compact, smoky red features a core of tightly wound raspberry, blackberry and cherry skin notes. Full-bodied, yet fresh, with silky tannins and a firm, smoky minerality d...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Antiguos Vinedos comes from four small plots cropped at 3,500 kilogram per hectare, a selection of old vines then raised in new and used oak for 14 months. It has a s...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Casajus NIC is the top wine, sourced from a single 1.5 hectare plot that yielded less than 2,500 kilogram per hectare (NIC, by the way, is the abbreviation of Nicolas...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Readers will have to be exceedingly patient with the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags' Leap District). A big, dark wine, the 2009 is one of the richest wines I have tasted from ...

Wine Spectator: A bright, racy style, with a bay leaf frame to the violet, white pepper and damson plum core. An iron note adds tangy, mouthwatering length to the finish, which stays focused....

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Wild strawberry, raspberry, mocha and menthol on the full-blown but fresh nose. Silky, sweet and seriously stuffed with fruit. Dense and strong for villa...

Wine Spectator: Features a racy core of red currant, damson plum and blackberry fruit stitched with chalky tannins and backed by warm stone and olive pit notes on the finish. Enlivened with b...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Barbaresco Manzola is a pretty, up-front wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers, mint, cinnamon and licorice. With time in the glass, the wine opens up nicely. B...

Wine Spectator: Cherry and tobacco flavors are soon taken over by stiff tannins, and the finish is pinched now, but there's adequate fruit and sweetness for balance in the end. Best from 2015...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The estate's 2009 Seifile, an old-vine Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, comes across as quite silky and polished. It is the least expressive of Nada's 2009s, almost certainly because o...

Wine Spectator: A muscular red, with an almost brooding feel, as steeped blackberry and black currant fruit rolls along, spiked with pastis-soaked plum, charcoal and dark tobacco, followed by...
