Wine Spectator: A gutsy, powerful style, offering lots of apricot, dried mango and peach flavors, with a richly layered finish of toasted almond, bitter orange and quince paste.-J.M.

Wine Spectator: Friendly and forward, showing butter, lightly singed almond and creamed melon flavors offset by a note of yellow apple skin on the finish. Shows good length, with the plump fe...

Burghound: A deft touch of wood frames very fresh and bright red berry fruit and floral aromas that are in keeping with the round yet precise and well-detailed middle weight flavors that...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good red color. Redcurrant, truffle, smoked meat and chocolate on the nose. At once liqueur-like and energetic, with solid saline extract leavening the red berry and chocola...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright, deep red. Highly perfumed aromas of wild raspberry, forest floor, coffee, espresso and pungent minerals. Sweet, dense and fresh on the palate, offering supercon...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Cuvee Le Petit Arlot comes across as deep and muscular. Layers of dark cherry and plum lead to menthol, spices and minerals blossoming on the palate...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full, bright red. Highly expressive aromas and flavors of raspberry, crushed strawberry, smoke, mocha, pepper, herbs and spices. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with punge...
