Beautifully crafted, offering the vibrant presence of a barrel sample, this is rich, dense and opulent, with stylish, jazzy mocha-and espresso-scented oak extending the dark berry, licorice, road tar and savory underbrush flavors. Ends with chewy tannins that end a sense of elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.  — J.L.

Elegantly styled, with complex tangerine, nectarine and white peach flavors. This turns pithy in texture. Complete and concentrated. Drink now.

Lavishly oaked, exhibiting a strong mix of mocha, espresso and smoke notes. The fruit holds its own, with dense blueberry, blackberry, black licorice, tobacco leaf and savory roasted herb flavors, ending with a long, full, sustained aftertaste. — J.L.

Lots of smoke, charcoal, blackberry and licorice notes saturate the palate, with a broad, expansive mix of dense, extracted flavors, firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, full finish that keeps this lively and alluring. —J.L.

An ultrarich, unctuous style that's a real treat, capturing plush flavors of fig, apricot, guava and assorted tropical fruits. Broad and layered, ending with a thick honeyed aftertaste that shows off the smoky toasty oak. – J.L.

Pure, rich and graceful, with a charming core of blackberry, currant and oak, this wows with finesse and refinement, hitting the high and low notes with equal comfort. —J.L.

Vougeot Trophy

Honey, restrained nose, typical Burgundian characters of creamy minerals. Intense and rich with good focus and drive, still plenty of life in it with richer flavours.
