95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
greatest Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert since the magnificent
1990 is the 2009. Jaboulet has nearly 100 acres in this appellation, and
the 2009, which is bursting with potential, represents a great buy for
Syrah lovers. Its dense purple color is followed by an explosive bouquet
of blackberries, sweet cherries, licorice, Provencal olives, graphite
and subtle smoke. Full-bodied with silky tannins as well as a terrific
mouthfeel and palate penetration, this gorgeous offering should drink
well for 15 or more years." - Robert Parker

97+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"As
I wrote last year, the 2009 Hermitage La Chapelle is easily the
greatest, most profound La Chapelle since the 1990. Most of this cuvee
comes from Le Meal and Les Bessards vineyards, with a touch of Les
Roucoules fruit in the blend. It is an opaque purple-colored wine with
enormous concentration in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of
graphite, creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, beef blood and a
touch of smoked game. Boasting phenomenal intensity, a full-bodied
mouthfeel and 50 years of longevity, the only thing that could possibly
hold it back is that most consumers should plan on laying it away for
8-10 years." - Robert Parker (Dec 2011)

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The
2009 Hermitage La Petite Chapelle is better than some of the Hermitage
La Chapelles made in the last days of the Jaboulet administration. Its
dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of meat, cassis,
blackberries and camphor. The wine is supple, luscious, sexy and ideal
for drinking over the next 10-15 years.

Mischief and Mayhem Vosne-Romanee Pinot Noir 2006 (Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France)

We produced this Vosne-Romanée from Pinot Noir vines with an average age
of 50 years, harvested from sites around the historic village of
Vosne-Romanée. The growing season and harvest in 2006 were fine for
Pinot Noir with lovely ripeness of fruit, purity and structure. Bottled
after 16 months in barrel, this is a wine of real complexity, structure
and length which we really hope that you will enjoy.

93-96 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Good bright, full red. Knockout noble nose combines raspberry,
blackberry, blood orange, mocha, white pepper, coriander and smoky oak.
Wonderfully silky but youthfully imploded, with compelling verve and
sharp definition to the urgent fruit and floral flavors. A wine of
outstanding purity and cut, and very long and precise on the
aftertaste. Hervet referred to this wine as "the king of the cellar in
2010." - Stephen Tanzer (Jan/Feb '12)

90-93 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"An overtly spicy, ripe and rather floral nose as it speaks of both rose
petals and violets. There is fine richness to the supple, round and
generous medium weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of energy on
the balanced and entirely serious finish that delivers excellent
length." (Jan 10, 2012)

89-92 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"Noticeable reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate. By
contrast there is excellent concentration to the powerful and
broad-shouldered medium weight plus flavors that are shaped by very firm
and ever-so-mildly rustic tannins on the intensely earthy finish. While
this will not win any awards for elegance as Porrets St. Georges is
almost always among the most tannic of the Nuits 1ers, it offers plenty
of character in a decidedly ageworthy package." (Jan 10, 2012)

91-93 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"This
is also quite spicy with ripe and well-layered aromas of red and blue
pinot fruit that is satisfyingly fresh. The rich, dense and enveloping
flavors possess excellent phenolic maturity as well as outstanding depth
and length on the mouth coating finish. Here the tannins are a bit more
prominent and will require a few more years of cellar time to resolve."

89-92 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"This is also quite deeply colored. An open nose offers up notes of ripe
cherry, raspberry, subtle spice and Nuits style earth hints that also
suffuse the delicious, forward and easy-to-like flavors that possess
reasonably good length but not quite the same depth as the best of these
Nuits 1ers. To be sure, this moderately firm and mildly rustic effort
is very good but it's not truly distinguished." (Jan 10, 2012)
