Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep ruby-red. Reticent but very pure aromas of blueberry, cassis, violet, mocha and minerals. Sweet, broad and wonderfully deep, with dark berry and mineral flavors co...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Le Pergole Torte is flat-out great. Layers of fruit wrap around the palate in this flashy, seductive Pergole Torte. There are no hard edges to be found. Sweet red che...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: As I reported last year, the black/purple-tinged 2009 Cote Rotie La Landonne is an extraordinary effort. Made in a more open-knit, exuberant, flamboyant style, it possesses ma...

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...

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...

About this Wine: "Charming, forward and approachable despite its youth. Ripe berries, mocha, toasted malt, incense and jasmine on the nose and palate. The sweet, high-toned nose is followed by...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2008 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (magnum) is dark, brooding and super-expressive. Dark red fruit, mocha, leather, licorice and spices meld toge...

About this Wine: 92.5% Merlot, 7.2% Cabernet Franc, 0.3% Malbec

Wine Enthusiast: The 2008 vintage presented challenges for Cabernet Sauvignon, but this Cabernet Franc-based blend succeeds wildly. It's bone dry, tannic and enormously complex, with flavors o...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (magnum) is another drop-dead gorgeous wine. The wine remains rather shy, revealing shades of its personality ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione is one of the more reserved wines in this line-up. Stylistically it is a touch leaner and more focused than the rest of Voer...
