Tim Atkin MW 96 points. “Bright gold colour. Aroma of dried flowers, ripe fruit, wild herbs, with iodine and nutty notes. In the mouth it is fleshy, powerful, tasty, spicy and with citrus notes. Long and salty aftertaste”. GRAPE VARIETIES 100 % Viura from low production vineyards. 1500 bottles total production.

This powerful wine comes from a small 105 year old vineyard in the Rioja Alta. 100% Tempranillo aged for 12 months in French and American oak. These precious old vines produce something truly exceptional. Intense dark cherry in colour. Great aromatic complexity with notes of vanilla, chocolate, coconut and brown spice. Full bodied and robust palate with hints of roasted coffee. #ADM

Burghound 90-92 points. This 1.27-hectare vineyard (3 acres) is located at the bottom of the slope. It enjoys a soil composed mainly of clay and loams. Pottery fragments found in this vineyard show that this was a farming settlement in Gallo-Roman times. After the farm disappeared, the site remained without vines for a long time before being planted again. “Sanvignes” [vineless] then changed to “Cent-Vignes” [hundred vines] – since a plot with vines cannot be “Vineless”! These reds are remarkable for their colour and the delicacy of their aromas. In the mouth, they combine complexity with mellowness.

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89 points. A plot of 0.60ha replanted with chardonnay in 2013. Definite green tints, light nose, pretty but not immediately terroir evocative, with some charm and energy behind, a little liquorice, more character on the palate. Ready soon, and nicely done.

WA 98 The impressive 1927 Pedro Ximenez Solera, from a Solera begun nearly 80 years ago, boasts a dark amber color as well as an extraordinary nose of creme brulee, liquefied nuts, marmalade, and maple syrup. Huge and viscous, yet neither cloyingly sweet nor heavy, it is a profound effort priced unbelievably low. It is meant to be drunk alone at the end of a meal.Drink now through 2050, or even longer.

WA 92 Arlaux is a small family run estate in the tiny Premier Cru hamlet of Vrigny, on the Montagne de Reims.  The estate grows just 10 hectares of vines and only grapes from the estate’s own Premier Cru vineyards are used, with a quiet commitment to putting quality first.

Tre Bicchieri, Gambero Rosso. Wine Advocate 95 points. This bottle is a true ambassador for Umbria. You get ample varietal tones in the 2016 Montefalco Sagrantino 25 Anni, with bitter chocolate and baking spice, but Caprai does a terrific job of softening up and fleshing out the Sagrantino grape to display a more contemporary and ultimately more approachable and versatile wine. It boasts a huge, bold and opulent mouthfeel with plenty of structure and determination. This was a release of 15,000 bottles. ML Jul 2021.

Awarded Gold Medal and "People's Crown" , voted by readers of Vini Buoni d'Italia. 2 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso. Raffaella Bissoni is a remarkable woman whom we first met in 2015. We had been told by the conoscenti that she has been leading a quiet revolution in Romagna to reinstate the region as an internationally reknowned producer of sangiovese. Given that Tuscany has long held the spotlight for all sangiovese wines we were both curious and skeptical. That was until we tried her wines. They are outstanding and represent excellent value. The winery now exports to 10 countries, with the USA being the largest taker....

Decanter 95 points. Winemaker Notes Bright cherry red with a violet rim. Elegant aromas of red fruits in liqueur and black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), enveloped in spiced notes of clove, cinnamon and vanilla, alongside the minerality that is the hallmark of all the wines that come from the “Viña Lanciano” estate. Perfumed hints of violets can also be appreciated. Intense aromas with the texture of ripe, sweet tannins on the palate. A remarkable wine with a distinguished character.    

James Suckling 93 points. Winemaker Notes Deep garnet red with a ruby rim. On the nose, notes of very ripe fruit - plum, figs and fruit compote - stand out. All enveloped in notes of vanilla, caramel, black pepper and smoke. A well-structured wine, with ripe, sweet tannins on the palate. It has a long life ahead of it. Wine Spectator 92 points. Creamy flavors of baked currant, fig cake, dark chocolate and black tea are well-knit and expressive in this harmonious red, backed by citrusy acidity and firm, chewy tannins. Ends with a lingering, spiced finish. Tempranillo and Graciano. #MAY

Wine Advocate 94-96. A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre from a one-hectare parcel in the Mont Redon lieu-dit, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape la Folie was still in barrel at the time of my visit. Produced only in exceptional vintages (2007, 2015, 2016), it offers up notes of cedar, vanilla and mint alongside ripe black cherries. It's not new oak, but it must still be relatively young, and the result is a big, rich, rather New World-styled wine guaranteed to please open-minded hedonists and horrify stodgy traditionalists. Velvety, plush and long on the finish, there's no denying the quality here, although whether you will...

Wine Advocate 96 points. The Cantina Kaltern 2016 Alto Adige Moscato Giallo Passito Quintessenz (packaged in a 375-milliliter bottle, with just 5,000 bottles made) shows a brilliant golden color with glossy amber and copper highlights. This beautifully fragrant dessert wine reveals honey, yellow rose, tropical fruit, candied almond and acacia flower. The wine is viscous and syrupy rich, with ample sweetness and glycerin. However, that balanced acidity ensures that these results never feel heavy or overdone. The alcohol content is well contained at 10.5%. The wine balances out nicely over the palate. Fruit comes from a southwest-facing slope...

James Suckling 93 points. The upfront aromas of yellow grapefruit and ripe gooseberry are classic sauvignon blanc, but as it aerates, pear and ripe apple notes emerge. On the palate, there’s a parallel, nicely intertwined combination of brightness and creaminess, until you splash land in the juicy, exotic finish. Just reaching it’s best drinking form, but still fresh. A cuvee based on chardonnay with sauvignon blanc, gewurztraminer and pinot blanc. Drink or hold. WINERY NOTES: Stoan is a unique wine of its kind reflecting the complexity and potential of our region. It is a lively blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc...

Made using methode champenoise from chardonnay and grenache grapes, this sparkling pinkster is a giant killer. Super impressive wine that got everyone's attention when it took out the Top Gold in the sparkling wine category in the Concours Mondial.

winemaker’s comments: Closeburn is our un-oaked Chardonnay. The fruit is grown throughout the Central Otago region and exhibits the regions natural elegant fruit flavours and mineral complexity. The wine is fermented in tank to retain its bright fruit. It is then left to rest on its yeast lees to gain some doughy complexity and softness. This is a refreshing full-bodied wine, unencumbered by oak and superb with food. Juicy nectarine and pear fruits, with apple blossom floral tones giving a nice lift to the attractive bouquet. The palate displays wonderful purity of tree fruit flavour. There is a nice flow to the structure and length,...

Gineprone refers to the aromatic herb Juniper and indicates how this Chianti from the Siena hills reminds the drinker of all the herbs and spices that are typical of the Mediterranean underwood. Complex and full bodied yet approachable and fruity, Gineprone is the Montalcino version of the Chianti wine that has made Tuscany famous around the world.

HUON HOOKE, THE REAL REVIEW 2022, 94 points. Very deep, bright red/purple colour. Spicy, peppery, fresh earth and red fruit aromas of some complexity, especially considering its youth. The wine is medium to full-bodied and soft-textured, with no shortage of tannin, but the texture is supple and drying, the fine-grained powery tannins augmenting the savoury flavours. There is abundant fruit within but the overall style is savoury, food friendly and very stylish. Very long aftertaste. Great value. HH. COLOUR Deep dark purple. AROMA Intense aromas of fresh black and red berries with delicate touches of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. PALATE Mesa...

Huon Hooke 96 points. "Very deep red/purple colour, in excellent condition for its age, and a bouquet of tremendous depth and character, undeniably cabernet, mellowing and with a hint of Bonox, the palate concentrated and deep, with assertive tannins and some meaty-charcuterie and toasted-nut undertones. Masses of tannins complete the picture. A very powerful, full-bodied and emphatic cabernet that is destined for a long life." Colour Bright and shiny highlighting purple hues. Aroma Dark dense sweet concentrated aromas, with typical varietal Cabernet Sauvignon characters like cedar pencil shavings, freshly cut grass and an...

Tasting Notes This wine is very expressive and complex on the nose with flavours of red berries, black cherries, vanilla, butterscotch, red plums, coffee and nuances of strawberries. On the palate the flavours follow through with good structure and silky tannins. A really balanced wine with elegance and a lengthy aftertaste.

This wine has a pale, bright gold colour with green reflections. Upfront aromatics of passion fruit and citrus greet the nose following through to a rich palate yielding ripe fruit flavours with a gentle nettle edge. A brisk acidity and stony minerality give natural freshness and length. The fruit for DMZ Sauvignon Blanc is selected from premium trellised vineyards located on cool slopes of the Bottelary Hills in the Stellenboschkloof. Weathered granite soils and cooling ocean breezes create ideal ripening conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes were gently de-stemmed and lightly pressed, and the juice was treated carefully with minimal...
