Wine Spectator: Plump and fleshy, with delicious plum, fig and blackberry flavors mixed together, coated gently with spice and black tea notes. The long, licorice edge on the finish has a nic...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Vivid purple. Vibrant black raspberry and cassis aromas are complemented by sassafras and cola, with a bright note of white pepper adding vivacity. Juicy, finely etched red an...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Dark ruby. Deeply pitched dark berries and dried flowers on the nose, with a brighter red fruit quality emerging with air. Spicy raspberry and blackberry flavors coat the pala...

James Halliday: Bright and clear crimson-red; there is also a touch of touriga in the wine, which is a model for a red wine ready to fully enjoy at the time of its release; the supple and jui...

James Suckling: Aromas of dried mushrooms and ripe fruits. Full-bodied, with velvety and chewy tannins. Lots of dried fruits. Almost raisin. Need two or three years to soften. Best in 2014.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright, dark red. Floral and peppery high notes lift aromas of raspberry, dried herbs, leather and earth on the complex, rather Burgundian nose. Saline, tactile, ripe and co...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin needs quite a bit of time in the glass to come together. Initially quite ripe and exotic, the Charmes gradually finds its balance. Still, my sense ...
