2013 Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Vinous, 92 points: 92+ Bright red. Classy but reticent nose hints at bitter cherry. Densely packed and seriously concentrated, showing superb stony lift to the flavors of black cherry, violet and licorice. Really wonderful 2013 energy and...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) Here the nose is mildly reduced though not so much that undertones of earth, sauvage and oak are hidden. There is excellent volume to the suave and mouth coating big-bodied flavors that possess evident...

Vinous, 93 points: (ST91-93 points) Good deep red. Captivating, perfumed nose offers wild scents of red berries, flowers, minerals and leather. Sappy and sweet on the palate, with lively acidity framing the spicy dark cherry and raspberry...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2013 Volnay Clos des Chenes has the most feminine bouquet of the Volnay '13s, with perfumed crushed strawberry, orange peel and rose-petal scents that render it alluring even at this early stage. The...

Vinous, 88 points: Good medium red. Raspberry and a touch of herbs on the slightly high-toned nose; distinctly redder than the Marsannays in 2013. Then darker in the mouth, with blackberry and licorice flavors complicated by a slight...

Burghound, 90 points: (BH88-90 points) Strong wood influence presently dominates the red and dark fruit, earth and soft spice aromas. There is better volume and power to the richer medium weight flavors that also possess better mid-palate...

Vinous, 92 points: (ST89-92 points) Palish red. Perfumed aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, iron and rose petal. Silky and intense, displaying a minty reserve to the red fruit and mineral flavors. Nicely integrated acidity gives clarity to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (WA88-90 points) The 2013 Santenay Clos Tavannes has quite a deep and broody nose for a 2013, but it is well defined with pleasant blackberry leaf and limestone scents. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite rigid...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) There are just three barrels of the Volnay 1er Cru Santenots du Milieu this year. It has a dense and concentrated raspberry and wild strawberry bouquet interlaced with minerals, backward and broody as...
