Vinous (91)

(aged in one-third new oak): Bright purple. Ripe black and blue fruits, incense, candied flowers and smoky minerals on the perfumed nose. Smooth, palate-coating cherry and blueberry flavors show very good focus and vivacity thanks to juicy acidity and a jolt of peppery spices. Finishes sweet, broad and very long, with velvety tannins coming on late.

Vinous (94)

Saturated magenta. Expansive aromas of ripe red and blue fruit, potpourri, incense and smoky minerals pick up a spicy nuance as the wine opens up. Broad and seamless in the mouth, displaying fine delineation to the sappy, mineral-drenched black raspberry, boysenberry, violet pastille and spicecake flavors. Shows a distinctly elegant character and finishes extremely long and sweet, with discreet tannins framing lingering blue fruit and floral notes.

Vinous (91+)

Good full red. Pure, sappy aromas of red fruits, minerals, spices and flowers. Creamy on entry, then dense and sweet but rather backward in the middle, offering excellent focus but a distinctly restrained character. This smoky, minerally wine boasts a fairly substantial structure and will require patience.

Vinous (98)

A rush of dark cherry, plum, new leather, cedar, coffee, graphite, lavender and menthol makes a strong opening impression in the 2009 Thorevilos. Powerful, dense and explosive, Thorevilos is the one 2009 in this range I would continue to cellar another few years. It is utterly magnificent today, but still has room to blossom. As always, Thorevilos is distinguished by its structure, depth of expression and overall intensity, all signatures of this evocative vineyard located at the end of Mund Road just outside of St. Helena.

Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (96)

Beautiful intensity and grip through the palate, this shows white pear, juicy citrus, and slate-filled salinity on the finish. Great stuff, with teasingly drawn out flavours, lift and tension, and hidden depths. Some frost meant the yields were lower than normal at 32hl/h. 15% malolactic fermentation to soften the acidities, with Sauvignon Gris vines included within the Sauvignon Blanc count, and no Muscadelle in the blend as the vines have now been uprooted, giving a slight break in style (for the better in my opinion). 3.25ph, 45% new barrels for ageing. First year with Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy as director from beginning to end of the growing season, after Philippe Dhaulluin's retirement.

Vinous (94+)

Even deeper red ruby color. Pungently spicy, penetrating aromas of rose petal, violet and red berries. Thick, intensely flavored and sharply delineated, with strong acidity and plenty of buffering extract. This has superb material and outstanding grip and persistence. Firm tannins are in perfect balance with the wine fruit. Wow! This is aged in all new barriques, but I never would have guessed it.

Vinous (94)

Full ruby-tinged red. Cool, complex aromas of black cherry, currant, camphor, tar, mint and violet. Sweet, dense and packed with fruit; large-scaled and lush, given shape by ripe acidity. More powerful than the Loreto, but the big, broad tannins are also extremely well buffered. Less expressive on the back end than the Loreto but shows outstanding length. Like the '97, this wine does not come across as especially oaky due to its sheer material.

(from 60+-year-old vines facing southeast; aging included 20% new barriques Good full red. Spicy redcurrant aroma lifted by a note of rose petal. Juicy, spicy and aromatic in the mouth, with lovely cut and intensity and a firm tannic spine. Less lush today than the Loreto, and showing less early sweetness, but this elegant, juicy wine projects lovely nebbiolo perfume and has the structure for a graceful evolution in bottle. Rocca told me this vineyard features the family's own clones and was planted by his grandfather.

Vinous (96)

Aldo Conterno’s 1990 Barolo Riserva Granbussia, a wine from the estate’s glory days, more than lives up to its reputation. The Granbussia is darker and noticeably softer than the Monfortino, signs that Aldo Conterno long had a more modernist leaning than his brother, Giovanni Conterno, who made the 1990 at the family’s Giacomo Conterno estate. Both wines are a real pleasure to drink, not just taste. This flight is incredibly instructive, but also hits all the high notes on the pleasure scale.

Medium color shows some development. Expressive, complex aromas of redcurrant, plum, dried flowers, tobacco and smoke; rather Graves-like. Smooth, silky and consistent, with lovely sweetness and moderate flesh and weight. The very fine, tongue dusting tannins are slightly dry, but there also sneaky finishing fruit. Drink over the next five or six years.

Good deep red. Highly complex aromas of crystallized red berries, black raspberry, dried flowers and pungent spices. Thick, sweet and strong in extract; has a dusty, tactile quality and freakish concentration for the vintage. Smooth and soft despite possessing good acidity. Finishes with round tannins and excellent persistence. This is fairly accessible already.

Vinous (91-93)

Bright ruby. Highly nuanced aromas of blackcurrant, pungent minerals and spicy, toasty oak. Large-scaled yet light on its feet. Terrific fruit carries through to a very long, ripely tannic aftertaste. Kept fresh and lively by a flavor of licorice and very good acidity. A great showing for a vintage with a modest reputation for red wine in Spain. Palacios used more heavily toasted barrels following the rainy harvest of '97, but eschews charred oak in richer years like '98.

Vinous (87-89)

(50% new oak; these vines are now 70 years old, according to Elisabeth Amiot) Good full medium red. Musky cassis, blackberry and black cherry on the nose, along with a hint of torrefaction. Rich, suave and fairly full but classically dry, with firm minerality currently keeping the fresh fruit under wraps. This is actually quite closed now, and rather tannic on the persistent finish. Less sweet than the Charmes.

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, this is clearly the greatest Angelus until the 2000, 2003 and then the perfect 2005. Beautiful, sweet plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit soar from the glass of this opaque, purple wine that still hasn’t lost much in color. Deep, opulent, voluptuously textured, full-bodied and multidimensional, this is a stunner and just now approaching its plateau of full maturity, where it should stay for at least another 20 years.

Approaching perfection, this wine is inky, bluish/purple-colored to the rim, offering up notes of incense, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, licorice, graphite and spring flowers. A touch of roasted espresso bean is also present. The wine has great concentration, a magnificent, full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning purity, and well-integrated acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood. This beauty seems to be in mid-adolescence with at least 25-30 years of life ahead.
