Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Notes of orange and apricot jam emerge from the elegant, medium gold-colored 2000. The wine shows good ripeness, medium to full...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Slight SO2 and a whiff of licorice on the nose. Fat, oaky and moderately thick; fairly sweet but doesn't offer the shape or depth of flavor of the '97. The finish, though, is ...

Burghound: Outstanding-This offers a step up in aromatic complexity with a layered and attractively pure and ripe red pinot fruit nose that is liberally laced with stone and earth touche...

Wine Spectator: This is brooding and burly, with blackberry and melted fig notes supported by licorice root and mulled spice hints. The broad, fleshy finish lets a toasty note hang on. Very s...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Wild, musky aromas of smoke, leather and tobacco, with red fruits in the deep background. Then surprisingly tight and chewy in the mouth, in a distinctly masculi...

Burghound: Leroux indicated that there was some declassified 1er juice in the blend. This is also extremely pretty and relatively high-toned with airy and cool yet ripe red pinot fruit a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune shows off lovely inner perfume in its crushed berries, flowers and minerals in a gracious, feminine style. It is a beauty at this level. This is a ...

Wine Enthusiast: This comes from one of the top ranges of wines produced by the giant Boisset family group. It is an attractively scented wine, with spice and smoky aromas. The taste is rich, ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Girardin's 2009 Moulin-a-Vent La Bernadine is, to be sure, the most concentrated of his three wines from this vintage and appellation, but it is also the most marked by the te...

Wine Spectator: Dense with both cherry and currant flavors and dusty tannins, this red is awkward now. There seems to be the requisite fruit to match its firm tannins, but needs time. Best fr...

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: The 2009 Nuits St. George Aux Allots is a generous, fleshy wine loaded with fruit. This isn't the last word in complexity, but the wine impresses for its total sense of harmon...

About this Wine: Grenache 20%

Wine Spectator: Shows a lot of blueberry and dried herb aromas and flavors. Full and juicy, with plenty of good fruit. Still chewy. Best after 2011. -JS

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Red fruits and minerals on the nose, with hints of earth and iron; a tad rustic. Suppler and sweeter than the Chambolle, with more body and stuffing to support its...

Burghound: As one would expect, this is notably more elegant but only a bit more complex with a relativley high-toned red pinot and cranberry fruit nose that introduces rich and full fla...

Burghound: This is also ripe to the point of displaying glimpses of exotic fruit yet there is still good freshness to the largely yellow fruit aromas tinged with mineral reduction notes....

Burghound: A reserved nose speaks of pungent earth and fresh red currant aromas that slide seamlessly into nicely rich and voluminous flavors that are also very forward and open on the b...

About this Wine: Te kahu means 'the cloak' in Te Reo Maori and refers to the mist that envelops the Giants Winery in the Tuki Tuki Valley. Legend has it that this mist was used to protect a my...

Wine Spectator: A fresh, lively style, with a hint of anise on the edges of the sappy damson plum and cherry pit notes. A mix of currant and pomegranate are backed by briar on the finish. Thi...
