As clonally diverse as the corresponding “Nicholas” bottling – since this cuvee is always assembled from the best rows in each block – Anam Cara’s 2011 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve focuses on...
89-90 JS A chewy but pretty wine with blueberry and cherry character, firm tannins and a shaved-chocolate undertone. Medium to full body, polished tannins and a bright finish. Better in 2016 when the tannins soften. -...
2018: 93 JS + 2016: 92 JS + 2015: 93 JS + 2014: 92 JS + 2012: 92 JS Both cuvees from this well-run estate merit attention. - Robert Parker Prima can compete with wines four or five times the price...
16 JR Barley sugar and cedary/oaky aromas. Richly viscous and full of caramelised orange flavours as well as a sour freshness. This is not chilled so it is not really flattered but it is very sweet and intense and...
90 JS - Featured in James Suckling's Bordeaux Confidential Events in 2015 I like the dried-strawberry and raspberry character to this. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a shaved-chocolate and cedar character. I...

89-92 BH Not surprisingly the nose is completely different compared to that of the Vosne as the floral elements are less pronounced with more earth character to the red currant aromas. There is excellent richness and...
92 JS / 92 WE I am impressed with this for the vintage. It’s full and round with a succulent, juicy structure, silky tannins and a plum, cocoa, cedar and berry aftertaste. Outstanding harmony for 2011. Try in 2017. -...
"Shows a sinewy, meaty character, as well as dried berry and wild cherry flavors. Mocha and dark currant accents linger on the rich, sanguine finish. 2,500 cases made." — KM, Wine...
17 JR / 92 BH Gentle and sweeter smelling than the Charmes. Again that purity, here allied with much greater density on the palate. Fine structure, tannins more marked but not dominant. Very long. --Julia Harding MW, Jancis...

96+ VM / 96 WS / 95-97 WA / 96 JS Bright, deep, saturated ruby. Liqueur-like ripeness to the deeply fruity aromas of kirsch, black raspberry and cassis. Thick, sweet and seamless, with a silky texture and great depth to its...
97 DE / 96 JS / 95 RP / 95 WS A serious Haut-Brion, still very much closed. Concentrated with firm tannins, this has real depth to it, showing walls and structure. Beautiful juice starts to seep through the walls after a...
96 DE / 95 VM / 95 RP A more refined expression than in La Chapelle, but I would strongly recommend going for La Chapelle right now. as these tannins remain fairly closed at the moment. Great future ahead, a sculpted and...
97 DE / 97 WE / 96 WS / 95 JS A delicious wine that stands out from many in the vintage. A ton of personality, with a sappy, raspberry, autumnal berry fruit as it opens and travels through the palate, with rose petals on...
94 JS / 94 WE / 93 WA / 92 WS Four plots in Avize, a village that delivers strong character in blanc de blancs, picked later and riper. The delicate lemons and fine, chalky minerals here are impressive. Mouth-filling,...

96 WE / 95 DE / 95 JS / 93+ RP / 93 WI So smooth, this is a rich, grandiose wine. Although it is full of black currant fruits and spice flavors, the texture is most impressive. Dusty tannins are integrated with juicy fruits...

96 WA / 96 JS / 94 WS / 93 VM / 17.5 JR One of the stars of the vintage, the 2011 Vieux Château Certan was brilliant from barrel (I vividly remember tasting it as a student), and it is beginning to show all of that...
