About this Wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano is a single-vineyard wine, very fine but from a good, instead of an excellent, vintage. The nose, though powerful, is...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of blackcurrant, violet, licorice, minerals and oak, along with a whiff of truffle. Enters lively and minerally, then turns broad in the mid...

Wine Spectator: Firm, intense and concentrated, with vibrant currant, black cherry, sage and cedary oak. Thick layers of fruit and firm, earthy tannins bode well for aging, though the tannins...

Wine Spectator: This vivid red shows excellent definition to its linzer torte, black currant and juicy plum flavors, with lots of chalk and iron-driven cut on the finish. Ripe, sleek and focu...

Wine Spectator: Features a thick, ripe feel, with plum sauce and blackberry paste notes that drip slowly as licorice snap and roasted apple wood fill in the finish. A more overtly hedonistic ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Full medium ruby. Smoked meat and gunflint on the nose; reminded me of a serious Hermitage. Then dense and brooding in the mouth, with a distinctly wild quality to its intense...

Jancis Robinson: Quite dark ruby. Interesting tension on the nose. Lots of gas and race. Juicy and very electric. Punchy. Slight bitter damsons on the finish.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Medium red. Pure, bright but reticent aromas of black cherry, menthol, licorice and wild herbs; very Clos Vougeot! Silky on entry, then fresh and firm, with black cherry, mi...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Rubicon, from a cooler vintage, possesses quite a bit more minerality and tannin than the 2008. Although just bottled, the 2009 shows lovely focus and finesse in an e...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Green-tinged color. Spicy aromas of grapefruit, stone, spices and pepper, plus an exotic suggestion of mango. Dense, sappy and very young, with strong acidity enlivening the c...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The virtually perfect 2002 Mr. K. The Strawman boasts astounding statistics. Aged 30 months in barrel, with only 7.2% alcohol, it carries 482 grams per liter of residual sugar...
