Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: Somewhat less evolved than the 1971 and for me always a shade less interesting and complex the 1970 Yquem is a large-scaled rich full-bodied fairly alcoholic Yquem with significant flavor interest as well as crisp...

Wine Enthusiast, 98 points: (WE96-98 points) The beautifully aromatic, honeyed scent leads into flavors of bitter orange and honey, along with extreme freshness. Notes of white peach and Rocha pear give richness to a wine that is not huge, but...

Wine Enthusiast, 99 points: (WE97-99 points) Apricot tones with lively acidity give this rich wine a vein of freshness. Pear and white peach notes offer weight, while a lime backbone brings levity. There is a richness from the botrytis that is...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: 96+ I was very happy to find that the Musigny had not yet been racked at the time of my visit, as it is nice to see at least one wine that is totally on form, so that it makes it far easier to get a proper read on the...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 93 points: Opaque in color black licorice dark chocolate oak jammy berries and sweet black cherry flavors are coupled with a big blast of concentrated sweet jammy berries. This is the best wine produced by La Vieille Cure since the...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: This sports a dark chewy side for now with overt charcoal and roasted apple wood notes along with plenty of smoldering tobacco flavors. The core is still a bit chunky as well with roasted fig blackberry paste and steeped...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: A very flattering style with a good range of fresh-cut pineapple white peach golden raisin and creamed pear notes that all glide through the lush inviting finish. -J.M.

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Blackberry, lightly toasted oak and cedar on the nose. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long silky finish. Needs time to open.--’95/’96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. –JS

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 92 points: (NM90-92 points) The Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a very pure bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry, all with very fine delineation and femininity. The palate has a sappy entry, firm tannins, a little backwards and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (WA93-95 points) The 2013 Mazis-Chambertin, matured in second-fill barrels, has a refined bouquet that is not a million miles away from the Charmes-Chambertin at the moment, but very precise and focused. The palate is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Revealing more structure and definition than the regular bottling the 2003 Cote Rotie La Landonne offers more scorched earth camphor blackberry and roasted meat characteristics. Last year this cuvee displayed no acidity...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: The 1981 Cristal is one of the biggest surprises of the night. Although it is fully mature, the 1981 is fabulous tonight. Hints of roasted almond, orange peel, caramel and spices suggest a fully mature wine, yet the 1981...

Wine & Spirits, 97 points: The energy in this wine recalls the 2002 Cristal (I wrote “energy” three times in my notes.) In 2004, it’s explosive. The wine is saturated with flavor, from floral notes of rose to pale limestone and equally pale fruit...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 90 points: Ruby-red. Penetrating, minerally aromas of raspberry, redcurrant and cedary oak. Denser and more structured than the '99; with its firmer acidity, this is more classic claret. Very rich, sharply delineated wine that will...
