jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Lots of complexity comes through from the outset on the nose, borne out in terms of smoky black cherries, dried rose stems, asphalt, tar and licorice. Full, structured body that dives through layers of dark fruit, driven...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Incredible chalk and salt character with minerala and cocoa as well as berries. Full-bodied, tightly wound and long. So much going on. From Hong Kong’s Kwok family who also own Haut-Brisson in St. Emilion. This is the...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2012 is another truly great wine from Troplong Mondot. It’s always sentimental to taste this wine, realizing that proprietress Christine Valette (the larger-than-life heart and soul behind this estate) has passed...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2012 Aglianico del Vulture Covo dei Briganti is a gorgeous expression with dark fruit tones of blackberry and currant that are smoothed out by tobacco, leather and dusty mineral tones. Cove dei Briganti pays homage to...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Another big-time winner, and one of their larger cuvées of just over 9,000 cases is the 2012 Brut Rosé. This is a blend of 76% Pinot Noir and 24% Chardonnay, of which 33% was barrel fermented. This wine is ripe, broad...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: More serious than the Premices, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Tradition has additional structure and depth, with classic red and black fruits, leather, bouquet garni and spice aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, nicely...
Wine Spectator, 96 points: A bright and elegant yet taut and structured version, this red features buried cherry, plum, earth, iron and tobacco flavors. Dynamic despite the firm grip of tannins, this should come around in a few years. Licorice...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: My favorite of the lineup, the 2012 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Le Clos des Fées is a sensational effort that’s most likely the wine of the vintage. Made from 50% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 20% Carignan and the rest Mourvèdre...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: An impressive, strong effort from Lynsolence, this wine, which normally is 100% Merlot, tipping the scale at 14.5%, has an almost opaque bluish/purple color that is followed by a full-bodied, very concentrated...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru from Louis Jadot has a lifted, licorice-tinged bouquet with plenty of guts to it. There aromatics do not hold back. The palate is...
Pinot Report, 94 points: Medium-deep ruby color; complex, rich wild cherry aromas with some spice and herbal notes; deep, complex flavors of cherry and earth with some herbal and tea notes; silky texture; good structure and balance; long...
jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The nose has a complex array of fine-ground eastern spices, strong cardamom, fine dark chocolate and ripe black cherries and plums. There's even some licorice. It has a neatly composed and elegant feel on the palate. It...
Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) The 2012 Pommard La Chanière is above all else a wine of tension and pure minerality. Slate, crushed rocks, chalk and bright red berries are all layered into the vibrant finish. Readers who like driven...
