Wine Spectator: Juicy and linear, with a savory, spicy component adding depth to the apple and pear flavors. A bit firm on the back end, but a little age should help integrate all the element...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: There are only 400 cases of the outstanding 2009 Cotes du Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois, a blend of 80% Grenache from 80-year-old vines, 15% Mourvedre from 20-year-old vines, and ...

Wine Spectator: Really ripe and fleshy, offering delicious glazed peach, apricot and honey notes, with lots of orange blossom and fig and a very rich finish. Starting to take shape now too. I...

Wine Spectator: A ripe, intense and exotic style, delivering apricot, passion fruit, mango, white pepper and stone aromas and flavors. For all its richness, this has great structure, lending ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: I was quite surprised with the 2011 Chablis Fourchaume, which is one of the least expressive of these 2011s. Today it comes across as ethereal and elusive, with moderate overa...

Wine Spectator: Firm and finely meshed, with hints of passion fruit and pineapple mixing with poached apple, almond pastry and fleur de sel. Mouthwatering and lightly smoky on the lingering, ...

Wine Spectator: An intense mix of mineral and savory spice accents the peach cobbler and apple compote flavors. A Key lime note comes to the fore on the graceful, creamy finish, which is long...

Jancis Robinson: Savoury, mineral nose. Vaguely oily citrus, then terrific power and depth on the palate. Very good concentration and staying power and a fine line of citrus freshness all the ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Peppermint candy, marzipan, and white chocolate in the nose of the 2005 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Vendange Tardive lead to an expectedly somewhat candied, but also honeyed and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Sauvignon offers up plenty of varietal character in its white peaches, lime, tomato leaf and sage, all of which come together nicely in this representative Friulian S...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A 30-year aging curve is possible for the 2003 Chateau. Composed of 55% Semillon and 45% Muscadelle aged nearly 30 months in French oak, it reveals a dark amber color along wi...

Wine Spectator: This is rounded and fresh, but shows good persistence, as damson plum, red currant and blackberry fruit glides along, laced with hints of sandalwood, black tea and roasted tob...

Devon Magee: Pale lemon in the glass with notes of vanilla, almond skin and nutmeg spice notes. Lemon pith on the palate with a faint caramelized note that adds a bright sweetness to the f...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Priest Ranch is quite a bit more powerful and radiant than the 2010, but is also quite reticent today. There is plenty of richness in the glass, bu...

Wine Spectator: A subtle, seductive style with understated plum and black cherry, touches of mineral and cedar. Gains richness and depth, ending with a burst of flavor. Drink now through 2020...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From the dramatic, steep hillside that rises behind the village and opposite the northern terminus of En Charlemagne (but is not rated premier cru), Deux Montille's 2007 Perna...

Wine Spectator: Kirsch and dark plum fruit is succulent, and offset nicely by brisk, chalky minerality, which gives a good driven feel to the finish.-J.M.
