jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A dense and linear riesling with sliced limes, lemons and flint. Bright and precise. Full-bodied, layered and beautiful. Great finish to this. Big and flavorful. Yet not showy. Drink now.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2015 Yon-Figeac is a huge, powerful wine. From bottle, it is just as intense and racy as it was from barrel, but there is quite a bit more tannin and overall structure coming through today. For that reason, I would...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ A non-vintage blend of Xavier’s favorite vintage, the NV Châteauneuf du Pape X XII XV is a massive, thick, unctuous beauty that’s almost overflowing with notes of dark fruits, blackberries, truffle, chocolate and...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Aromas of blueberry, currant and mint follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Delicate for the vintage. Drink now.

James Halliday, 94 points: Deep purple-magenta hue; the restrained and elegant bouquet offers black fruits, dried herbs, lead pencil oak and a hint of violet; the tannins are moderate and fine-grained, with the tightly wound fruit and acidity...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: This fleshy version displays candied grapefruit peel quince petrol and lots of herb and spice notes. Light- to medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a zesty white pepper note showing at the end. Drink now through 2019. 9...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Pinot Noir Wayfarer Vineyard is supple, expressive and exceptionally beautiful. Plump red cherries, plums, cinnamon and rose petals meld together in a racy, effortless Pinot built on texture and nuance. Beams of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (96+) The 2015 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard has an intense nose of pineapple, guava and ginger with honeysuckle, marzipan, cashews and brioche. The medium-bodied palate is incredibly taut for such a gregarious nose with...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is a seamless wine with ultra-fine tannins and beautiful glycerin texture. Mineral. Full body, superb depth and length. Yes! Drink or hold.

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) A discreet application of wood easily allows the fresh, earthy, herbal tea and sauvage-scented nose of red and dark pinot fruit. As one would expect the big-bodied flavors are markedly bigger and more...

Burghound, 91 points: (89-91) A fresh and notably more elegant nose features mostly earth and soft floral notes where the earthiness also characterizes the concentrated, textured and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that possess good if...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Imposing aromas of flowers, stems and berries. Full body, powerful tannins and plenty of ripe fruit and creamy acidity to back it up. Extremely structured and powerful. Try in 2022.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: The 2009 Barolo Cerequio is unusually rich and powerful it this vintage. A wine of breadth, expansiveness, and volume, the 2009 boasts stunning depth and resonance from start to finish. The aromas and flavors remain pure...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ Always a favourite of mine, the 2013 La Nieta is still extremely young and oaky, but this vineyard planted under the winery in the village of Páganos on very shallow soils that cushion the effect of the weather (even...
