Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless it is initially rather taciturn on the nose eventually opening up beautifully with touches of lemon curd...

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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage, the 2012 Vieux Château Certan is pure class. So many Pomerols speak to power in 2012, but VCC is all finesse. Forward and open-knit with that classic sense of translucent...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical, the 2008 Trotanoy has an attractive bouquet with engaging clarity and purity: raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, a trace of something almost medicinal...

View From The Cellar, 96 points: The 2011 Trotanoy is one of the wines of the vintage and an absolute classic in the making. The deep, pure and utterly brilliant nose soars from the glass in a blaze of red and black plums, black cherries, woodsmoke...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: As is the practice at this winery they hold back 50 or so cases of their finest vintages for release after a decade. The current release of their library selection is the 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon a magnificent effort that...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 93 points: Very ripe and full and flirtatious. Deep-flavoured base of ripe, well-balanced fruit. I had a bit of trouble tasting this en primeur when three different samples tasted very markedly different so I ended up giving it a...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Rich and supple with ripe cherry, currant and tobacco nuances along with a soft, earthy quality on the palate. Very elegant with depth and flavor. Beautifully balanced.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (WA93-95 points) The 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, which will contain some new oak although I tasted from a used barrel, has a tightly knit bouquet that at the moment is less expressive than the Mazis-Chambertin. The...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Wonderful evocative orange marmalade and ginger flavors play around this rich wine. Its botrytis dryness doesn't detract from the intense sweetness ripe apricots spice and deliciously refreshing acidity. The richness is...
