Wine Spectator: A tight, firmly structured '09, sporting a narrow range of cherry, black currant, spice and mineral flavors. This is dense and fresh, with oak spice lingering on the finish. B...

Wine Spectator: A little stern on the nose, but boasting ripe, juicy raspberry and spicy cherry on the palate. This is very supple and lively, with power and a lingering aftertaste of spice a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Pale ruby in color, the 2008 Tinker's Field Pinot Noir presents expressive scents of red cherry, lavender and underbrush with a touch of cassia. Crisp, medium bodied with medi...

Wine Spectator: Boasting cherry, raspberry and a hint of gamy, forest floor detritus, this red cruises with its vibrant structure. This is harmonious, just needs more time to integrate. The f...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Perrot-Minot's 2008 Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes - racked to tank two weeks before I tasted it - smells of purple plum, dark cherry, and charred red meat. Graphite, crushed st...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Perrot-Minot 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges La Richemone Vieilles Vignes delivers scents and flavors of tart but ripe blackberry, Maine blueberry, machine oil, and licorice. Firml...

About this Wine: Volnay, admired for its delicacy, its sap, and its bouquet, has always been thought of as the most feminine of burgundies. Though certain of its terroirs modify this judgm...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From Dijon clone 777, the 2007 Pinot Noir South Slope is from the highest elevation of any of the Hansel vineyards (and there are 80 acres). It has deep plum and pomegranate n...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Displaying a nose of blackberries drenched in chocolate syrup, the 2003 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains is a brooding, masculine wine. Loads of black cherries as well as copio...

Wine Spectator: Packed with black cherry, licorice, herbs and mineral, this red has a wild edge to it, offset by sweet fruit. Solidly built and intense, with a touch of heat on the finish. Be...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Red-ruby. Crushed black cherry and violet on the withdrawn, slightly medicinal nose; like the Clos de Beze, this shows the cool side of the vintage. Less sweet and pliant than...

Burghound: This too was heavily reduced with a similar flavor profile of a rich, suave and full-bodied mouth feel that blends into a powerful, dusty and youthfully austere finish that la...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: ood deep red. Rather decadent aromas of blackberry, mocha, licorice and earth. Superripe and fine-grained, with less pronounced sweetness than some of these 2003s. Notes of bl...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Pinot Noir is an exceptional effort reflecting the extraordinary talent of Adam Tolmach and his belief in single vineyard wines from the South Central Coast. The 2003 Pino...

Wine Spectator: Bold, intense, big and expressive, yet for all its size this is well-proportioned, with a mix of ripe berry, plum and earthy mineral notes that unfold gracefully. Tightens up ...

Wine Spectator: Plump, rich and flavorful, with a delicious medley of black cherry, wild berry and boysenberry fruit that's well-defined and focused. It exhibits aromas of fresh cut roses and...

Wine Spectator: A round red, with black cherry and spice flavors picking up a little iron as this moves across the palate. Well-structured and concentrated, turning more elegant on the refres...
