88 points
Violets, eau de parfum, elegant and pure, lovely.
White
2011 Sergio Mottura Grechetto Latour a Civitella Civitella d'Agliano IGT
89 points
A smooth, creamy bouquet, a bit fat, lovely bitters, tasty and juicy.
White - Sweet/Dessert
2010 Château Caillou
87 points
A nice 'green' bouquet, fresh, sweetness still a bit hefty; a bit short, allover a nice wine.
Red
1978 Château Taillefer
88 points
Spicy, soft bouquet, ripe (of course) taste, good bitters and still quite enjoyable.
Red
2007 Tertre Rôteboeuf
88 points
Still a deep colour, ripe bouquet, nice acidity, spicy even juicy; the tannins confirm the unripeness of the vintage; no top, but very nice drinking.
Red
1997 Tertre Rôteboeuf
88 points
Still a deep colour, ripe bouquet, nice acidity, spicy even juicy; the tannins confirm the unripeness of the vintage; no top, but very nice drinking.
Red
2004 Château du Tertre
88 points
Deep colour, a bit chunky in the bouquet and the taste, tannins a bit dry, serve this wine with a good steak.
Red
2008 Château Gloria
91 points
A deep colour, a deep spicy bouquet, glycerine, lovely balance and very convincing midtaste; the firm tannins need some years to soften.

Lovely colour, a gentle, soft bouquet with a friendly whiff of nutmeg, juicy and with a polished finish; drink now.

Lovely deep colour, very juicy bouquet, classic style in the midtaste, some licorice, very concentrated, the finish inclusive.
Red
2010 Damiano Ciolli Cesanese di Olevano Romano Riserva Cirsium

A deep colour, firm style (also the tannins), tasty, a bit one dimensional, but altogether a nice glass.
