Vinous, 97 points: The 2006 Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine, but it needs time to be at its best. I am surprised by how tightly wound it is. But that only makes me think what it might develop into with...
Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) This too evidences background notes of wood spice on the slightly riper red berry fruit nose that displays plenty of earth and underbrush on the supple, intense and nicely voluminous flavors that possess...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A lot of black tea and earthy character. Dark and powerful with considerable tannins for a Rioja of this age. Long, imposing finish. Drink now.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2006 Estate Cuvee State Lane Vineyard (a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc) possesses a dark plum/purple color as well as notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, chocolate, black currants...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This is a dry style of wine, with great acidity and a tightly wrought texture. As with many Gosset Champagnes, this wine has had no malolactic fermentation, enhancing the freshness and crispness as well as the structure...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Selected parcels in Avize, Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger chosen for power. This has a very impressive grilled hazelnut and gently toasty edge with dried lemon and clotted cream. The palate has immense...
Decanter, 97 points: Powerful, concentrated and seriously young tannins are closed tight around the pure, intense, dark, sweet fruits, followed by a deep undertow of liquorice, cloves and graphite. Extraordinary balance, polish and control...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: A blast of cherry, raspberry, mint and mineral aromas and flavors herald this focused, tensile red, which has ripe, sweet fruit, a firm structure, refinement and fine length. The finish is all spice now. Best from 2012...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: This is a re-release of a wine that first hit the market some seven years ago. The Il Greppo estate did not make a Riserva in the 2011 vintage, and the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is being reintroduced to the...
Vinous, 94 points: Deep, bright ruby. Blackberry and blueberry liqueur, licorice, spices, graphite and toffee on the nose, with a pungent mineral lift. Dense, sappy and superconcentrated, with a silky, voluptuous texture to its flavors of...
TheWineCellarInsider.com, 93 points: The first vintage for the new owners only begins to show the full potential of the vineyard. Yet, there is no denying the smoky, spice, truffle, black raspberry and floral secondary aromatics. On the palate, the sultry...

I found a wine I loved locally and was extremely disappointed when they stopped carrying it. JJ Buckley Fine Wines both carries it and makes the shopping experience easy. I would order again.
