Apr. 13, 2013: JEAN-CLAUDE BOISSET Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 2009 (94 points, $110)

Infused with a limestone tautness, this red exudes cherry, mineral and spice flavors on an athletic frame. Licorice and vanilla accents grace the lingering finish, along with a sweet black cherry note. Almost seamless now, this should only get better. Shows great tension and interplay of the elements. Best from 2015 through 2032. 110 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson

Apr. 11, 2013: RAVENSWOOD Zinfandel Napa Valley Dickerson Single Vineyard 2010 (92 points, $35)

Shows great structure and backbone, featuring aromas of black cherry, cinnamon and orange zest, with dense, rich raspberry, cedar and herb flavors. The tannins are big, minerally and ripe. Best from 2015 through 2021. 750 cases made. —Tim Fish

Apr. 11, 2013: LA SPINETTA Barbaresco Vigneto Starderi Vürsù 2009 (93 points, $164)

Fresh and aromatic, exhibiting floral, berry, eucalyptus and spice flavors before the tough tannins take over. Powerful and muscular, this closes down on the finish. The most backward of the three Barbaresco crus, and the one that offers the most potential. Best from 2016 through 2028. 1,293 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson

Apr. 10, 2013: IMPRIMATA Proprietary Red McLaren Vale 2010 (91 points, $45)

Dark and chewy, with a green olive note prominent in the mix. Offers intensity and presence, letting the ripe blackberry flavors come through on the long finish. Shiraz and Petite Sirah. Best after 2014. 900 cases made. —Harvey Steiman

Apr. 09, 2013: DOMAINE FAIVELEY Beaune Clos de l'Écu 2010 (93 points, $70)

An expression of pure cherry highlights this delicate, silky red. Vibrant and intense, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish of sweet fruit, spice and mineral. Best from 2015 through 2024. 125 cases imported. —Bruce Sanderson
