Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2010 Nuits St. Georges is rich, powerful and decidedly masculine in style. It reveals plenty of length if not quite the sensuality of the Vosne. Still it is another overac...

About this Wine: The vineyard is located in the village of Chablis, in the very heart of the Chablis country, on the left bank of the Serein River, with a south-south east exposure. It is loca...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal: Tasted from a half-bottle at Cordeillan Bages and served blind, this is better than any 75cl bottle that I have tasted. It has a glorious nose of dried apricot, honey and cand...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Another sleeper of the vintage, the opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2009 l'Estang exhibits lots of sweet black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with a hint of vanillin. Med...

Wine Spectator: Aromas of vanilla, licorice, mint and berries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a vanilla cream and raspberry aftertaste. Very jammy style. But it...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Very pale greenish-yellow color. Piquant aromas of gooseberry, lemon, grapefruit rind and pepper, complicated by green tropical fruits and lemongrass. Dense, supple and ripe...

About this Wine: Low vineyard yield is maintained by ploughing the soil, de-leafing, and crop thinning. Grapes are picked and sorted by hand.

Wine Spectator: Slightly earthy, with mushroom and berry aromas. Medium-bodied, with slightly dry tannins and a short finish. A bit lean. Not as good as from barrel. Best from 2003 through 20...

Wine Spectator: Solid for the vintage, with a good core of anise, mulled plum, boysenberry and fig, all laced with sweet spice and roasted apple wood notes. The nicely rounded finish has ampl...

Burghound: The very earthy and slightly herbal aromas lead to rather somber flavors that offer good energy as well as a light touch of minerality on the serious, mouth coating and firmly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Coteaux du Languedoc Vassal is from lesser lots of Syrah with 20% Mourvedre. Fennel, marjoram, tar, mulberry, blackberry, roasted meats, and chocolate run from nose t...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Palish red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee, spices, menthol and faded rose. Sweet and creamy but with an edge of acidity framing and carrying the attractive, m...

Wine Spectator: A delicious Champagne, full of rose petal, wheat, cherry and citrus notes, all supported by a vivid acidity and chalky texture. An innate sense of power on a lightweight frame...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Palish red with a hint of evolution at the rim. Aromatic nose combines red cherry, strawberry, spices and flowers. Intensely flavored and approachable, with good intensity t...

About this Wine: Coyam is the word for "Oak Forrest" used by the original inhabitants of Chile: The Mapuches. Ancient oaks surround the vineyard where Coyam is born.

Wine Enthusiast: Feels chunky and gritty in the mouth, with fresh young tannins giving a hard bite. Down under all that are flavors of ripe blackberry jam and spice. It doesn't seem likely thi...

Burghound: A very ripe, indeed even exotic nose with the hallmark spiciness of a classic Genevrières introduces rich, minerally and attractively detailed middle weight flavors that are d...

Wine Spectator: A supple, polished, modern style, relying on creamy, mocha-tinged toast, gentle plum and blackberry fruit flavors before finishing with a lingering cocoa edge. Should stretch ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This wine still gets my nod as the finest regular bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon the Joseph Phelps Winery has ever produced. Still impressively dark ruby/purple, with slight...
