Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Dark yellow. Pungent aromas of white stone fruit, wax and flowers. A laser-like freshness nicely lifts the white peach and green apple flavors. This excellent, very well-balan...

Burghound: This is also rather somber and reserved with a ripe nose of red berry fruit, warm earth and attractive floral hints that precede delicious and only mildly rustic medium-bodied...

Jancis Robinson: Very dark. Rather glamorous and glossy on the nose. Sweet start and very polished - verging on too black fruited but it keeps itself fun to drink - just a more opulent side ...

Wine Spectator: This is quite ripe, with a big core of linzer torte, cassis and blackberry fruit, but well-supported by graphite and melted licorice notes. Offers ample breadth and depth, wit...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Pale yellow. Complex, intensely perfumed bouquet displays mineral-accented citrus and pear, with a strong iodine note and mounting spiciness. Juicy and light on its feet, of...

Wine Spectator: Honey, dried pineapple, apricot and tropical fruit on the nose. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a spice, dried fruit and honey aftertaste. Balanced and pretty. Best after 2...

Wine Spectator: This generous red offers ripe plum, espresso and smoke flavors that are firm and rather charry, with a tobacco and tar finish. Bold yet smooth. Best from 2013 through 2019.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Cotes du Ventoux Persia, a blend of 90% Syrah (from 50-year-old vines) and 10% Mourvedre from the estate-s finest terroir, is aged in small barrels and 600-liter demi...

Wine Spectator: Packed with spice, this is distinctive and racy. Licorice and grapefruit comes into play as this rides the bracing structure to a long conclusion. Light and intense, with a pe...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Chateau Raymond-Lafon has a reticent nose at first that finds its voice after a few swirls of the glass, offering dried mango, almond and a touch of quince, all with fine ...

Wine Spectator: Shows whiffs of chamomile and blanched almond before giving way to stylish white peach, pear skin and salted butter notes, with solid length. Nicely done, with the barrel ferm...

Wine Spectator: The dark currant and blackberry fruit is offset by a lively, racy, chalky spine and mouthwatering notes of savory and violet. Stays firm through the finish, with a charcoal co...

Wine Spectator: Pineapple, lemon, green apple and nectarine flavors are mingled with a crunchy acidity, making this refreshing and lively. This is smooth, aromatic and balanced, especially on...

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...

Wine Spectator: This tangy wine has presence and depth, with a tart edge to the delicate sweetness, as apple and floral flavors linger on the finish. Drink now. -HS

Wine Spectator: Offers a mix of dark black currant and bright damson plum fruit flavors, intertwined with singed mesquite and bergamot notes. The long, taut finish should flesh out with modes...

Chuck Hayward: Deep purple color. Beautiful aromas of cassis and fresh herbs with a bit of roasted coffee, reminiscent of young, fresh Bordeaux. Elegant on the palate, the slightly spicy fla...

Wine Enthusiast: Very soft, this offers generous white fruits, with a rounded, open structure. It rolls around the mouth, opulent and full. This is very typical of Simmonet-Febvre's Vaillons, ...

Wine Spectator: This delivers blueberry, fig and blackberry fruit melded with ample toasted vanilla and mocha notes that fill out the finish. Rather obvious in the end, but will certainly hav...
