Wine Spectator: Fresh, intense and vibrant, rich and chewy, offering a dense core of mineral, currant, blackberry and spice, with touches of road tar and cedar. Tightens on the finish, where ...

Burghound: A ripe but relatively closed and reserved nose grudgingly speaks of earth and plenty of sauvage character on the dark berry fruit scents. There is good concentration and ample...

Burghound: This is the most complex of the three '09 grands crus with a penetrating and ripe nose of plum, pungent earth, game, black cherry and violets. The full-bodied, dense and overt...

Wine Spectator: Rich and gutsy, but also refined and stylish, with an initial push of rocky and roasted herb-laced currant and dried berry flavors, maintaining its dry savory character on the...

Wine Spectator: Delivers a tight beam of rich, complex flavors, with currant, black licorice, loamy earth, cedar and tobacco leaf notes that expand on the finish, where this maintains its f...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Mazoyeres-Chambertin is another reticent wine. This is a decidedly intense, powerful Mazoyeres that needs time to shed its baby fat. The aromatics are expressive and ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Deep ruby! Knockout high-pitched nose offers blackberry, dark raspberry, spices, licorice, bitter chocolate and violet, plus a note of crushed stone. Silky and highly concentr...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Barbaresco Manzola is a pretty, up-front wine laced with sweet red cherries, flowers, mint, cinnamon and licorice. With time in the glass, the wine opens up nicely. B...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The estate's 2009 Seifile, an old-vine Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, comes across as quite silky and polished. It is the least expressive of Nada's 2009s, almost certainly because o...

Wine Enthusiast: This big, strong Cabernet insists on pushing its blackberry, currant, plum and cocoa flavors across the palate. It's not subtle, and doesn't apologize for it. The grapes are f...

Wine Spectator: This opulent red offers a welcome savory note weaving through its ripe cherry, red plum and black tea flavors. A glint of roasted meat and sassafras adds complexity to the lon...

Wine Spectator: Features a racy core of red currant, damson plum and blackberry fruit stitched with chalky tannins and backed by warm stone and olive pit notes on the finish. Enlivened with b...

Wine Spectator: A muscular red, with an almost brooding feel, as steeped blackberry and black currant fruit rolls along, spiked with pastis-soaked plum, charcoal and dark tobacco, followed by...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Eloge bursts from the glass with juicy dark cherries, flowers, mint, tobacco, licorice and earthiness. I especially like the immediacy of the fruit here. There is pur...

About this Wine: "blend is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cab Frank and 10% Petit Verdot."

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright purple. A compelling, heady bouquet of red and dark berries, violets, Szechuan peppercorn and smoky minerals. Sappy and precise, offering palate-staining raspberry pr...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Pinot Noir Rosella's jumps out of the glass with sensual aromatics that find a lovely counterpoint on the palate. It is a gorgeous, understated Pinot with notable cla...

About this Wine: Phi is the wine which best expresses Vitalonga's ultimate aspiration. The magic of this extraordinary wine-producing area combined with the expertise and passion Vitalonga's e...

Wine Front: I tasted and reviewed this with the label facing me, but without knowing the price tag... No one quite invests in McLaren Vale grenache like D'Arenberg does, so you can't blam...

Wine Front: The Eight Iron vineyard is located near the cellar door. Planted in 1960 on shallow grey loam. Raspberry liqueur, pepper, licorice, earth - seems very McLareny. Even, savoury ...
