DOCG – Barbaresco Grape: 100% Nebbiolo Ratings : Robert Parker 93 Wine Spectator 92 Tasting Notes The 2007 Barbaresco Vanotu is an intense wine that expresses the warm, open quality of the vintage, but with a touch more gravitas.

Ratings By Robert Parker 100 Tasting Notes Absolutely compelling in two tastings of this vintage, the 2000 Margaux is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The extraordinary seductiveness, complex aromatics, and purity it exhibits lead me to believe it has reached its window of full maturity. Medium-bodied, with layers of concentration, stunning blue,… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes While the 2008 is not a blockbuster, it is a strong effort for the vintage.

Nevertheless, there is fine purity, medium body,… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes Giscours should be taken seriously by consumers as the quality has been ratcheted up over the last 7-8 years. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2003 offers complex, evolved aromatics of wood smoke, chocolate, charcoal, black cherry jam, and cassis. Lush, medium to full-bodied, and broad, with low acidity, copious glycerin,… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes Spicy notes of saddle leather, kirsch, vanilla, and roasted nuts emerge from the moderately intense bouquet of this fruity, medium-bodied, soft, accessible 1997. While it lacks density, aging potential, and concentration, it is a charming wine to drink over the next 5-6 years.(Wine Advocate #128 Apr 2000) By… Read More »
