jamessuckling.com, 94 points: (93-94 points) A rich and layered red with a sweet and silky middle plate. Spices, black pepper and smoked meat.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Possessing more stuffing than the '12 (but maybe not its purity and seamlessness), the 2009 Cote Rotie offers tons of cassis, black raspberry, incense, peppery herbs and violets in a ripe, full-bodied, richly textured...

jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: Similarly purple-colored, the 2015 Côte Rôtie Côte Rozier offers more minerality as well as hints of oak, in its ripe black raspberry-like fruits, spice, and dried flower aromas and flavors. It’s a ripe, sexy, polished...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Vernay's 2017 Cote Rotie Blonde du Seigneur features attractive hints of mint and red berries on the nose. It's only medium-bodied, but it's admirably concentrated, with a silky-creamy texture on the palate and charming...
jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: The 2015 Côte Rôtie Les Pierrelles shows its southern roots (it’s from the more granite portions of the southern end of Côte Rôtie) with a pure, elegant, silky style that’s hard to resist. Black raspberries, spiced meats...
Decanter, 94 points: Black cherry, and soaring raspberry perfume. This is medium-bodied, very fresh and lively for the vintage despite fairly low acidity. It has perfect balance, so easy and fresh. Between 25% and 50% stems depending on the...
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Impressive, spicy depth to the nose with intense, dark berries and a wealth of licorice. The palate has a smoldering core of fine, mineral-flecked tannins and bold, vibrant, berry flavors. Long, succulent and juicy...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Similar to the La Mouline with its forward, incredibly sexy style, the 2012 Côte Rôtie La Turque (there’s 7% Viognier in the blend) offers a saturated purple color to go with meaty, smoky notes of cassis, cured meats...
Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Smoky tones of charcuterie and dried garrigue meld into ripe, luscious black plum and cassis here. A rich, densely concentrated Syrah, it's keenly balanced by crisp acidity and firm mineral tones. The finish is endless...
TheWineCellarInsider.com, 100 points: If there was a trophy for future legend, this would be a contender for first prize. Everything here was simply perfect! Rich and concentrated beyond belief, texturally, this is pure sex and sensuality. Opulent, rich...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Subtle aromas of dried meat and game with dried raspberries. Tight at first, but it opens beautifully. Full and velvety with a berry finish. Bright acidity at the finish. Better in 2015.
Wine Spectator, 94 points: Dark and winey, with a grippy, brambly frame and a solid core of raspberry, black currant and boysenberry fruit. The backdrop reveals lots of anise, bay and black tea notes. Still backward, with an ironclad finish, this...
jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: The medium ruby-colored 2016 Côte Rôtie Colline De Couzou offers some darker, earthier notes as well as textbook flowery dark fruits, pepper, and chocolate. Medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, it’s built on elegance...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (94 - 97 points) Tasted from a new barrel, the 2018 Cote Rotie Rose Pourpre features mocha and plum notes. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, with that weight offset by cool menthol notes, and the lengthy finish even...
