2013 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Louer Family rolls out of the glass with seductive notions of baked plums, warm cassis and blueberry compote with touches of chocolate mint, unsmoked cigars, new...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: I never have enough praise for the excellent work achieved at Uccelliera. The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is another proud notch in Andrea Cortonesi's belt. This is a fine and elegant wine that wraps smoothly over the...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Fabulous subtle aromas of black currants, violets and lilacs with a hot stone undertone. Full-bodied and dense, it shows such wonderful energy and synergy that delivers a firm yet gentle tannin backbone and complex...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Blackberry, currants, toasted spice, graphite and hints of licorice all soar from the glass of Herve's classic 2013 Cptes du Roussillon Villages le Clos des Fees. Made from 50% Syrah, 20% each of Carignan and...

Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Barolo Castelletto is another superb wine from Manzone. Beams of Castelletto tannin and bright acidity give the wine its super-distinctive feel. A wine of focus and drive, the Castelletto will appeal most to...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Editors' Choice. Straw colored with gold reflections, this delightful sweet wine has aromas of dried pear, fresh apricot and yellow peach. Flavors of fresh Bartlett pear, acacia honey and tinned apricots unfold on the...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: (JS95-96 points) A dark and brooding Brunello with lots of blackberry and blueberry character. Full body, a wealth of fruit and a flavorful finish. Kir-like. Made from biodynamically-grown grapes.

Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Barbaresco Manzola is soft, succulent and inviting for a young Barbaresco. Mid-weight, gracious and supple, the 2013 speaks to balance above all else. High-toned aromatics meld into a core of sweet red cherry...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH91-93 points) Here the wood treatment is more subtle if not invisible on the elegant and admirably pure nose of that features aromas of plum, violet and discreet wisps of spice and earth. There is more volume if less...

View From The Cellar, 93 points: (JG91-93 points) The Tortochots’ parcel in Clos Vougeot is there oldest vines, as these are over seventy years of age. The wine is really a lovely example of this grand cru, with a sense of old vine sappiness in the core...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: A smoothly textured wine, this is perfectly in balance, with red berry and currant fruitiness assimilated into the lightly tannic and crisp texture. Drink from 2019.

View From The Cellar, 92 points: The 2013 Combottes from the Rossignol brothers is going to be a lovely wine. The nose is pure, complex and nicely perfumed, as it wafts from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, plums, cocoa, a lovely base of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2013 Chianti Classico Riserva hits all the high notes expected of this historic denomination. The wine is brimming with cherry fruit and luscious darkness with spice, leather and unsweetened chocolate. The blend is...
