Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2008, which was problematic from barrel tastings, has settled down beautifully, and showed very well on three separate occasions. Proprietor Michel Bortolussi has turned o...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Morey St. Denis Tres Girard is dark, plush and inviting. Plums, black cherries, violets, spices and licorice are some of the nuances that take shape in the glass in t...
