jamessuckling.com, 98 points: There is beauty here and the transparency is inspiring with dark berry, floral and mineral character. Full body and ultra-fine tannins. A glorious wine. A wine that will age for decades and beautiful now.
Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: (WE90-92 points) This wine is laden with tannins yet shows juicy, crisp red-berry flavors. It finishes with great structure.
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is a firm and bright wine with aromas of dark fruits such as blackberries and raspberries that follow through to a full body, silky tannins and a polished yet chewy finish. Give it until 2015 to soften a little and...
James Halliday, 94 points: Good colour; a complex wine with an unusual, albeit pleasing, progression of aromas and flavours: hints of spice and mint, then dark berry fruits on the mid-palate, and finally a rising swell of earthy/licorice/liqueur...
Decanter, 99 points: The strongest wine in my selection, yet this magnificent Amarone’s alcohol is barely visible thanks to its astonishing depth, texture and sumptuousness. Pressed black fruits seep with fruit essences; smoke and cinders...
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: A huge, thrilling wine, the 2011 Barbera del Monferrato Superiore Bricco Battista is endowed with magnificent depth and tons of personality. Layers of intense Barbera fruit burst from the glass in a racy, opulent wine...
Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 93 points: Vivid ruby-red. Sexy red fruit liqueur, potpourri and Asian spice aromas show impressive power and an energetic, pinot-like character. Sappy, tangy and precise on the palate, displaying lively raspberry and bitter...
Wine Spectator, 92 points: Mulled cherry, spice box, dried rose and leather notes are an aromatic entry to this rich and grippy Valpolicella. It’s full-bodied, silky on the palate, with a long, saturated finish of fruit, tarry smoke and...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Enticing aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries with a mineral and salty character. Iodine, too. Tree bark. Full body, fine-grained and concentrated tannins and a long and clean, salty and light coffee finish. Great...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is layered and beautiful with dark berry, hints of chocolate and hot stones. Full body with beautiful clarity, density and depth of fruit. 18 months in new wood, then in cement. A beautiful, focused red. Better in...
Burghound, 90 points: A slightly riper mix of black pinot fruit, earth, spice and exotic tea aromas gives way to vibrant, clean and appealingly detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess fine intensity before culminating in a long, mildly...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ As expected, the 2011 Ermitage l’Ermite, which comes from the lieu-dit of the same name, is more backward and focused, with a slightly closed, tight profile. Slowly giving up ample cassis and black raspberry fruit...
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: A classic and typical Perrot-Minot wine, the 2011 Charmes-Chambertin is built on a serious core of huge, intense fruit. Dark blue/black fruit, sweet tobacco, menthol, licorice and new leather notes abound in a rich...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Lots of dark berries and flowers plus hints of fresh mushrooms. Full body with ultra-fine tannins and a finish that lasts for minutes. Dense and racy. Perhaps the best Il Bricco ever?
