Bright, deep red. Sappy aromas of medicinal cherry, plum and spiced bread. Lush, seamless and intense, with sweet dark fruit flavors energized by powerful minerality and limestone lift. In a distinctly virile style, this wine saturates the palate on the very long, sappy finish. I'd give it seven or eight years in the cellar.Inc. VAT£183.85 -
Wine Advocate (91-93)
The 2013 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru les Beaux Monts Vieilles Vignes has a well-defined, mineral-led bouquet with lifted, perfumed blackberry and kirsch scents, hints of limestone just underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly sappy black cherry and raspberry fruit leading to a harmonious and svelte finish. This is a little more structured than the Aux Brûlées at this stage and will probably require a little more bottle age.Inc. VAT£164.52 -
Vinous (90-92)
(a bit more east-facing than the Brûlées and thus sheltered from the afternoon sun; the soil is calcaire with a lot of clay and sand, similar to that of the Hauts de Beaux Monts; 30 hectoliters per hectare produced): Bright medium red. Very airy scents of raspberry, cherry, fresh herbs, mint and cinnamon; smells like a pastry. Then a bit less taut than the Brûlées, showing little in the way of easy sweetness but also displaying less inner-mouth tension than the Brûlées. Finishes solid and dry, with a firm spine of masculine tannins, but here the acidity is more reserved. Clavelier describes this wine as having a quiet force.Inc. VAT£250.79 -

The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées had a more floral bouquet in the making, nicely defined, just a touch of reduction to get through at the moment.

Wine Advocate (93)
This is a difficult wine to find in the marketplace and it is rarely presented for official review. In fact, the last time it was produced was way back in 2008. The 2014 Barbaresco sees fruit sourced from the lower part of the Asili cru with some smaller amounts from Rabajà. This is a very opulent and rich expression with forward determination and power. This is an unusual vintage with a cool summer and a very warm pre-harvest period. It produced interesting wines specifically in Barbaresco and almost nowhere else in Northern Italy. The quality of fruit is ripe and a touch sweet. Its texture is succulent and soft. The wine feels like it could be ready to drink now, but it also has the pedigree and beautiful inner structure for long cellar aging.Inc. VAT£622.78 -

The 1993 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is a perfect wine to start the evening, as it introduces a number of themes without being so serious or important as to be overpowering. Sweet tobacco, leather and a host of fully mature, tertiary notes give the wine its distinct personality. There is plenty of depth to the fruit, but the aromatics are fully tertiary. For that reason, any remaining bottles are best finished off sooner rather than later.Inc. VAT£1,742.75 -

I am shocked (pleasantly, I must say), by how closed the 2001 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is. Powerful, tightly wound and totally closed down, the 2001 exudes class. Orange rind, tobacco and smoke add striking aromatic complexity to the intense dark fruit. Today, the tannins are surprisingly intense and raw, so readers will have to be patient. The 2001 is superb, but the wine’s full personality will not be on display for at least another few years. There is a good bit of upside here.Inc. VAT£1,727.89

Wine Advocate (93)
This is a difficult wine to find in the marketplace and it is rarely presented for official review. In fact, the last time it was produced was way back in 2008. The 2014 Barbaresco sees fruit sourced from the lower part of the Asili cru with some smaller amounts from Rabajà. This is a very opulent and rich expression with forward determination and power. This is an unusual vintage with a cool summer and a very warm pre-harvest period. It produced interesting wines specifically in Barbaresco and almost nowhere else in Northern Italy. The quality of fruit is ripe and a touch sweet. Its texture is succulent and soft. The wine feels like it could be ready to drink now, but it also has the pedigree and beautiful inner structure for long cellar aging.In Bond£499.00 -

The 1993 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is a perfect wine to start the evening, as it introduces a number of themes without being so serious or important as to be overpowering. Sweet tobacco, leather and a host of fully mature, tertiary notes give the wine its distinct personality. There is plenty of depth to the fruit, but the aromatics are fully tertiary. For that reason, any remaining bottles are best finished off sooner rather than later.In Bond£1,433.00 -

Vinous (94+)
I am shocked (pleasantly, I must say), by how closed the 2001 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is. Powerful, tightly wound and totally closed down, the 2001 exudes class. Orange rind, tobacco and smoke add striking aromatic complexity to the intense dark fruit. Today, the tannins are surprisingly intense and raw, so readers will have to be patient. The 2001 is superb, but the wine’s full personality will not be on display for at least another few years. There is a good bit of upside here.In Bond£1,420.62
