Red Wine from St Emilion

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Always one of Bordeaux's most endearing and charming wines Croix de Labrie's wines generally offer an unctuous texture as well as enormous quantities of fruit. Made from 100% Merlot the 2009 (about 300 cases produced)...

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: Pure perfection in a glass, the incredible 2009 Troplong Mondot offers off the chart notes of blackcurrants, licorice, truffles and saddle leather that just soar from the glass. This is a big, ripe, incredibly sexy wine...
