Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright golden-yellow. Fabulous high-toned aromas of apricot, quince, mango and honey, complicated by notes of cinnamon and orange liqueur. Wonderfully glyceral yet tangy on ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The inky/purple-tinged 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (500 cases) is profound stuff. Its nose of smoke, new saddle leather, blackberry, and creme de cassis are intermixed wit...

About this Wine: Made from 100% Nebbiolo from the Brunate vineyard. The vines are planted at a density of 1,620 per acre and the grapes are harvested in late September. The wine is aged in...

Wine Spectator: This shows impressive depth and power for the vintage, delivering layer upon layer of mulled spice, crushed currant and plum fruit, with anise, tobacco, graphite and violet no...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This limited production cuvee (produced only in the greatest vintages) is spectacular. The 1997 (100% Semillon) contains 20% residual sugar, and a well-hidden 14.5% alcohol. ...

Wine Spectator: Big and juicy, with loads of ripe fruit and big velvet tannins. Full, round and gorgeous. Fantastic. Soft with sweeter fruit. Lovely texture. Always a beauty. '89/'90 Bordeaux...

Wine Spectator: A torrid summer with little rain and good weather during the harvest led to a Chapelle of immense potential. Burly and not as seamless as the '90, with layers of this wine's t...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The brilliant 2011 St.-Joseph Les Granits Blanc offers up scents of caramelized citrus, orange blossoms and honeysuckle. It is full-bodied with loads of fruit, and as of now, ...

About this Wine: As I have written many times, all of these wines are produced from rigidly cultivated, bio-dynamically managed vineyards. That has been the rule since Michel Chapoutier fi...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright yellow-gold. Captivating aromas of spicy apple pie, dried apricot, caramelized kumquat, marzipan and sexy botrytis on the very pure, penetrating nose. Extremely fresh...

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 ...

About this Wine: Intriguing is perhaps the word that best sums up this full bodied, powerful, dry red wine. It is a rich ruby red in appearance, without being excessively opaque. It displays p...

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...

Wine Spectator: A bit of a brute, with a very chewy bittersweet ganache, tobacco and roasted fig core splayed open right now by a dagger of roasted apple wood, allspice and cedar. Long and de...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Opaque purple. Intensely perfumed scents of cherry-cola, blackberry liqueur and Asian spices, with an exotic floral overtone. Weighty but sharply focused black and blue frui...
