Burghound: Strong reduction again precludes a satisfactory examination of the aromas. By contrast to the funky nose there is excellent verve and freshness to the concentrated, detailed a...

Burghound: Note: from vines situated in En Orveaux planted in 1923, 1947, 1964 and 1979 totaling .56 ha. As is it in 2010, this is notably riper with spicy aromas of dark berry and viole...

Wine & Spirits: This 35-acre, mid-slope holding in the Clos des Mouches has been part of the Drouhin family domaine since the 1920s. Half pinot noir, it had been farmed organically since 1990...

John Gilman: It is always a good sign when the Drouhins decide to bottle their les Baudes on its own, rather than blend it into the Chambolle "Premier Cru" bottling, as this wine is only b...

Wine Spectator: The nose is marked by caramel, plum and macerated fruits, with more bass than the 1996. On the palate the fruit has a slightly candied quality, but its very concentrated. A bi...

Burghound: Here too there is a background application of wood that is sufficiently subtle so as to allow the expressive nose of plum, earth, wild dark berries and forest floor aromas to ...

Burghound: Discreet wood frames brooding and somber dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with earth, humus, game and smoky nuances. There is excellent richness and intensity ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good medium red. Musky aromas of cherry, menthol, mocha and meat. Sweet and seamless but energetic too, with ripe acidity keeping the flavors under wraps today. Finishes wi...

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...

Wine Spectator: While tannic, this shows more generous and complex plum, cherry and raspberry fruit, making a much more intriguing drink than the Rosella's bottling. Drink now through 2020. -...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Powerfully mineral aromas of dark berries, orange zest, floral oils and crushed stone. The palate offers great class and lift, showing superb definition to the f...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Saturated medium ruby. Deep aromas of kirsch, smoke, minerals, flowers and earth are reticent but pure. Big, rich and broad, with harmonious acidity framing the black cherry, ...

Burghound: Very ripe (indeed there are background hints of roasted fruit) and complex aromas give way to rich, intense and overtly muscular flavors that possess imposing size and weight ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Wild aromas of black cherry, mint, licorice, leather and game, plus a whiff of eucalyptus. Densely packed and sweet, with powerful, chewy flavors of chocolate, ...

Wine Spectator: A pretty version for the appellation, with raspberry, cassis and floral aromas and flavors. Picks up licorice and spice note on the finish, adding depth and interest as the ta...

Wine Spectator: This is juicy, with blackberry, boysenberry and pomegranate flavors converging on the firm tannins. There's acidity too, giving this a lean, austere profile by the finish. The...

Wine Spectator: A reduced smoky aroma needs air to dissipate, while underneath are pure black cherry, blackberry, violet, spice and iron flavors. Well-toned and athletic, with a graceful fini...

Wine Spectator: A burly, meaty red, packed with dark cherry and berry flavors, but also a hint of smoke and tar. On the palate, this begins with a blast of fruit, before yielding to stiff, dr...

Wine Spectator: This is rich and plush in texture, sporting blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and muscular, needing air to open, with fine length. Give this time, or...
