Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: 2009 Vintage: Served from an ex-chateau bottle. The 2009 Chateau d’Yquem is one showstopper of a wine and perhaps it is only in a vertical that you realize this is up there among the legendary wines of the past – the 2001...

jebdunnuck.com, 91 points: A unique, exotic blend (kitchen sink blend?) of Sangiovese, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Marsanne, the lightly colored, yet not lightly flavored, NV Sean Thackrey Pleiades XXI Old Vines boast perfumed notes...
