Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011

92-95 points Fine Wine Review: "The Latricières-Chambertin has licorice aromas and flavors that are typical of the vineyard. The wine is nervy, stony, pure, and intense in the mouth and should make an excellent Latricières. (Issue #139; 2013)"

92-94 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good full medium red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, crushed stone, white pepper, blood orange and flowers. Tight today and folded in on itself, with some excess CO2 currently suppressing the mid-palate fruit. Fairly tough tannins cut off the wine's finishing flavors, but the intensity and precision of this grand cru suggest that it will reward seven or eight years of cellaring. (Jan/Feb 2013)"

92-94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a very large 1.21 ha parcel). A strikingly cool, restrained and very floral nose also offers up superbly elegant red currant and wet stone nuances where the latter element completely suffuses the medium weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the focused, precise and driving finish. There is plenty of mouth coating dry extract but even so, this is presently austere to the point of being Cistercian and as such note well that plenty of patience will be required as this is very firmly structured. Drink: 2026+. (Jan 2013)"

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$255 list] Dense, with cherry, raspberry and currant fruit packed into a broad-shouldered frame. The tannins are muscular, but this remains balanced and backward for the vintage. Crunchy and juicy on the long finish, revealing hints of earth and tobacco. Best from 2017 through 2028. 95 cases imported. (4/30/14)"
