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...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon, which used to be a proprietary blend and had a somewhat rustic, Italian personality, has now been put under the Inglenook Vineyard designation. Where the Cabernet Sauvignon was a blend...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Reminding me of a top Hermitage, the 2012 La Sangre de Jonata checks in as a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier that's aged primarily in neutral and larger oak barrels. It's flat-out gorgeous in 2012 and gives up tons of...
View From The Cellar, 93 points: (92-93+) The 2012 Clos Prieur was also just a touch reduced at the time of my visit, so perhaps I am underrating this wine a touch as well. It is certainly very pure and deep under its gentle note of reduction, and may...
jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Compelling aromas of chili pepper, nuts, beeswax and dark fruits with dried strawberries. Hints of black olives and meat. Full body with extremely thick, silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. This is layered and so...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2012 Barolo Riserva Ravera Vigna Elena is a dark and savory wine that has already passed into the magical realm of its tertiary evolution. The bouquet is extremely fine and equally complex with dried berry, toasted...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A firm and tannic 2012 with chewy yet polished tannins and lots of dark fruit. Lots of blue fruit and minerals. Full-bodied yet tight and powerful. Shows structure for the future, but if you can’t wait, decant two hours...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Deus Ex Machina is a blend of 60% Grenache aged in foudre (from close to 100-year-old vines) and 40% Mourvedre aged in demi-muids. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by incredible notes of...
Vinous, 92 points: (ST90-92 points) Bright red-ruby. Redcurrant, leather and an intriguing floral note on the nose and palate. Sweet and quite concentrated, with a saline nuance and a suggestion of chocolate to the impressively rich...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ Il Poggione is a Brunello superstar and a vintage like this reveals every reason why that affirmation is true. From the second the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino pours into the glass, you know you are in for something...
Decanter, 96 points: Domaine du Coulet is at the forefront of the contemporary style of Cornas; less dense, less extracted, more vibrant and more drinkable. This is from 55 year old vines grown biodynamically on granite. There are no...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ I assume the 2012 Proprietary Red Vintage Reserve comes from the winery’s finest lots. It is no wimpy wine at 14.9% natural alcohol and appears to be made from Bordeaux varietals. It demonstrates that like Napa...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The awesome 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve is at the top of the heap in the vintage, and is world-class stuff. Sharing lots of similarities to the Les Trois Sources (they come from similar terroirs), it has another...
