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...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: Medium red. Captivating aromas of redcurrant, spicecake, menthol, spices and tobacco, plus an element of dried fruits I did not find in the Carobric. Then surprisingly high-pitched and mineral-driven in the mouth...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: 96+ The 2009 d'Alceo comes across as much more classic in style and structure than the 2008. According to Luca di Napoli, the trick to 2009 was harvesting on the early side. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, plums...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: An athletic red, displaying flavors of macerated cherry, wild berry and licorice on a firm texture. This is long, showing an astringent balance and exuding pure fruit. Needs time. Best from 2016 through 2030. - BS

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Made under the guidance of Hubert du Bouard this blend of primarily Merlot and a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc (around 9%) from the limestone soils on the hillsides of St.-Emilion exhibits a dense purple color lots of...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 98 points: 98+ The 2009 Mouton Rothschild is exceptionally beautiful. A huge, powerful wine, the 2009 possesses stunning richness and radiance, with plenty of underlying structure to support all of that exuberance. Smoke, grilled...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Aromas of blueberries and lemon rind. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and bright fruity finish. Refined and beautiful. Layered wine. Pure fruit. Gravelley. Stoney. So classy and complex. Try in 2020.

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Amazing aromas of cep mushrooms dark fruits and fresh flowers follow through to a full body and super velvety tannins with a long long finish. Gorgeous structure to this. Sexy and almost decadent. Just like when I tasted...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: 90+ The 2008 Nebbiolo has a pale to medium garnet color and begins to show more perfume with notes of kirsch, ripe raspberries, violets, oolong tea, anise and a whiff of Provence herbs. Full, fleshy and crisp, it has...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Concentrated, this red delivers cherry, wild berry and spice flavors. There's some heat in the mix, along with a firm finish and a mineral aftertaste. This is a wild version that needs time to settle down. Best from 2013...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Love the nose of crushed berries and slice plums. Full and chewy, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Needs time to open and soften. This is an estate that is improving all the time.

Burghound, 93 points: (BH91-93 points) This isn't quite as ripe as the Suchots but it's more elegant and a bit more complex as well with pretty, cool and restrained aromas of earth, cassis and blue berry trimmed in discreet spice notes that...
