jamessuckling.com, 97 points: A gorgeous intensity of plum, spice and grilled meat on the nose. Cloves and hints of dried spices. This is a big, structured La Chappelle. Full and powerful with chewy tannins and a long, long finish. A bit austere and...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Always a light, ethereal style of wine, this is also very fresh and still young. It will age with its taut minerality from the Chardonnay in the blend. A softer background will become toasty over the next few years. The...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The other single-vineyard Tempranillo is the 2011 Malleolus de Sancho Martín, always the more backward of the two. It is sourced from a small (0.84-hectare) single plot of vines planted in 1964 on chalk soils that provide...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: One of the stars of the vintage and coming from absurdly low yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape is a full-bodied, seamless effort that exhibits copious kirsch, ground pepper, dried flowers...
Wine Spectator, 92 points: Full of bright, pure cherry fruit, this red is lush and open, with hints of spice and mint accenting the core flavors. Supple and harmonious, delivering a juicy, mouthwatering finish. Fine length. Best from 2016 through...
Wine Spectator, 91 points: A bright and glossy red, with cherry, raspberry and oak spice aromas and flavors. Well-integrated, this lingers on the finish, echoing fruit and spice. Drink now through 2023. 70 cases made. — BS
Vinous, 92 points: Bright, moderately saturated red. Spicy aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. Tight and serious in the mouth, with dark berry and violet pastille flavors accompanied by strong coffee/mocha torrefaction. At once...
Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Ripe and spicy with delicious open fruit this wine is rounded yet has a straight line of pure acidity. It has a light touch while showing depth of flavor for the future. - R.V.
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) A firm and tannic wine, it has the weight to support its tannins. It's balanced, solid and dense, with a powerful shot of black fruits.
jamessuckling.com, 90 points: A wine with bright fruit such as currants and raspberries. It’s full-bodied, with firm tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Very fine and polished. Very well done for the vintage. Try in 20116.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Abbatucci’s 2011 Cuvee Collection: General de la Revolution Jean-Charles Abbatucci – for more on whose vinification and roster of ancient cepages, consult my review of the 2010 in issue 205 – is very nearly as exciting as...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: (87-90) Rather graceful, with bing cherry and sandalwood notes and a lightly firm dash of toasted vanilla on the finish. This opens steadily with air, showing more toasted spice and black tea. Not big, but has a suave...

After recently trying an amazing Saint-Emilion and Crozes-Hermitage during my WSET course, I found JJ Buckley to have the best selection, easy to access information and excellent pricing on wines which I had struck out finding at local wine shops. Their simple to use online shop offered search criteria options which made finding these wines very manageable.
