94 pts Wine Spectator   This was paired up with the ’66 La Mission Haut Brion, and it was the slightly less impressive bottle of the two for the first hours it was in the glass. However, it continued to grow and gain depth as the evening wore on, and it was clearly the superior of the two wines by the time it had fully unfolded. The nose is classic HB, offering up notes of roasted cassis, plums, cigar ash, black truffles, Graves earth, and a vague topnote redolent of violets. On the palate the wine is ultimately medium-full (having put on weight as it opened up), with excellent focus and balance, and fine length and grip on the polished and complex finish. I used to think that the ’66 was a bit more of the red fruity and brick dust-like side of Haut Brion, but the last several bottles that I have tasted have moved decisively over to the black fruity side of the ledger. (Drink between 2003-2020) Review from 2007.

This Rhone blend is fresh and very fruity. A "thirst-quenching" wine that is a little tannic but with a mellow finish. Certified Organic.

91 pts James Suckling   A soft and silky red with berry, tobacco and meat character. Medium body and a fresh and clean finish. Structured and austere, this is firm, dark and dry. The black currant fruit flavors are edgy, with juiciness coming through right at the end.

92 pts James Suckling, 90 pts Wine Enthusiast   This is a ripe, fruity, wine that's wonderfully representative of Merlot. It has soft tannins, juicy acidity and a delicious black-currant character. It's likely best for medium-term aging. Dense and ripe fruit on the palate with medium body, silky and juicy tannins. Hints of walnut. Plenty of pretty fruit and balance. Drink or hold.

100 pts WA, 94 pts Wine Spectator The 1986 possesses outstanding richness, a deep color, medium body, a graceful, harmonious texture, and superb length. The penetrating fragrance of cedar, chestnuts, minerals, and rich fruit is a hallmark of this wine. Powerful, dense, rich, and tannic, as well as medium to full-bodied, with awesome extraction of fruit, this Lafite has immense potential. Patience is required. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030. Pauillac.

95 pts Stephen Tanzer and Wine Spectator   Full medium ruby. Aromas of currant, black cherry, licorice, minerals and flowers. Thick, sweet and deep; still young but in a gentler, lower-acid style than either the '86 or '96. Still, this boasts sneaky intensity and wonderful persistence. Tannins are substantial but thoroughly ripe.

92 pts Wine Enthusiast.  In a traditionally-shaped bottle with sloping shoulders, this blend is dominated by Merlot. Juicy black fruits are lifted by crisp acidity. At this stage, the tannins are a major element, promising good aging for the wine. 

91 pts James Suckling, 90 pts Wine Spectator.  Very beautiful pale golden color, clear and bright. The nose is very expressive and evokes citrus (grapefruit), white fruits (pear) and exotic (lychee and pineapple) with floral notes of boxwood, juniper, and laurel. Well balanced with a pleasant liveliness which extends long in a very tasty finish.

92 pts Wine Spectator   The wine has an intense, garnet red colour with a coppery tint and a highly refined nose, mingling attractive floral notes of lily and lilac with more complex aromas of vanilla, liquorice, tobacco and chocolate, then some more mineral notes that emerge with airing. Full on the palate, its tannins are enfolded in a stylish structure that melts into a rich array of flavours in which kirsch and blackcurrant liqueur combine with coffee, caramel and a touch of menthol. The finish is fresh and well-balanced, pleasantly long, combining power and refinement. A classic Pauillac.

The bouquet evokes intense notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis. This delicious mix is ​​complemented with subtle spicy notes.  It offers a pleasant, spacious and well-structured mouthfeel. It is very thin and has silky tannins and a long finish with notes of terroir.

The youthful freshness of the 60% Merlot leads the way in this blend, which also includes 20% each of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Red-fruit, roasted wood, light herb and coffee aromas lead into a riper palate of strawberry and plums, which almost veers toward sweetness.

92 pts James Suckling, 91 pts Wine & Spirits.  This vintage offers deep red color and lures you in with its signature Coeur de Terre earthy aromatics, dried herbs followed by notes of cherry and raspberry. It shows nice structure with fine tannins and round mouth feel.

92 pts Wine Enthusiast   Broad aromas of tangerine rind, tangerine blossom, wet dough and soft yellow melon make for a very pleasant start to this single-vineyard expression. The palate is framed by a powerfully stony grip, which provides a serious backbone to the approachable rounded flavors of ripe melon and creamy peach.

Silky and fresh with juicy red fruits; mostly Merlot deep and ripe with crisp acidity; a very modern wine – generous and tangy, and a great value.

94 pts  Classic Conn Valley bouquet, cassis, cigar box, black pepper and crushed granite. Complex and dense. Full bodied, blackberries, sweet tannins, coffee, chewy and concentrated long finish, lingering aftertaste. Should age effortlessly 20-25 years.

Sometimes you just want to enjoy a glass of bubbly, not the whole bottle. This stopper seals in the sparkle and makes sure you've got fizz for the next round.

The 2012 'Arborina' is a simply striking Barolo from Giovanni Corino which is extremely impressive from start to finish. It is layered with sweet dark cherries and strawberries followed by mint, spice and hints of dried floral which soar from the glass. On the palate displays a wonderful freshness with remarkable balance and beautiful finesse as it heads into the gorgeous finish. This gets better with each swirl of the glass and I expect it to continue to provide pleasure for years to come.

92 pts Wine Enthusiast   This tiny production blend surely is made in the modern cult style. Its tannins are soft and sexy, its flavors deep and delicious with milk chocolate, blackberry jam, cassis liqueur and buttery toast. The only thing it lacks is subtlety, but it does deserve its score for sheer Napa power.

Artists create “Depth” in their work by utilizing light and dark regions in an image to allow the piece to truly captivate its audience in an interesting and unique way. The co-fermentation of these two Bordeaux varietals yields contrasting flavors of soft baked plum, and vibrant, spicy earthiness of radish and root vegetables. The rich and velvet-like palate feel of the Merlot blends beautifully between the rugged and organic feel of the Cabernet Franc. This blend reveals its unique power mid palate, and gently winds down into a delicate and mellow finish.

91 pts Jeb Dunnuck.   Dark and deep ruby color with an intense nose of jammed fruits, black olives, and dark spices.  Silky, elegant mouth, cheerful Gigondas.

This wine has a bright yellow straw color. On the nose, intense and varietal, reminisces of mature white fruit and very mineral. Balanced, silky, fresh and persistent on the palate.

Spiegelau Up and Down Decanter

90 pts Vinous, 90 pts Wine Enthusiast   This fine Morgon presents a shiny garnet color. Aromas of black fruits, predominantly cassis, are in the nose with a pronounced freshness. Generous, unctuous and rich, with fine, silky tannins. Simply a delicious Morgon.

Sweet indeed, but not without a healthy infusion of that higher-altitude freshness. It’s no wonder why the French drink it before dinner rather than just saving it for dessert.

The nose is intense, with notes of black cherry and prunes with a discreet spice and peppery note. The aromas of cherry and liquorice are confirmed in the mouth. Beautiful envelope supported by the elegance and finesse of Pinot Noir. The finish is fresh and enrobed in tasty tannins.

Sourced from an organically farmed vineyard on granite soil, this Juliénas is textbook cru Beaujolais: very aromatic with loads of fresh Gamay fruit, it flows over the palate with a juicy buoyancy that makes it hard to resist.

A lively, dry wine with ripe golden delicious apple flavours and a crisp refreshing character through to a deliciously vibrant finish. Ideal with Asian inspired fish dishes. Sustainably Farmed/ Vegan.

Grown sustainably in the small Loire Valley region of Savennieres, it gives complex aromas and flavors of anise, green apple, lime pith, red apple, honeycomb, cashew butter and yellow flowers. Medium-full in body, and checking in at 14.5% ABV, it offers high acidity and a chalky, mineral laden finish. 

92 pts Jeb Dunnuck, Vinous and James Suckling.  The 2018 Cotes du Rhone Rose La Dame Rousse is another solid example of this cuvée, which is a perennial value favorite. Plump and flavorful, it's marked by strawberry and melon flavors, with a juicy, mouthwatering finish.

97 pts Vinous & Wine Spectator   A statuesque Champagne, firm and finely knit, with a beautiful array of baked white peach, almond biscotti, pastry cream and crystallized honey flavors riding the silky mousse. A rich and smoky note of toasted brioche echoes on the chiseled finish.

The tiny region of Saint-Bris is the only Sauvignon Blanc growing region in Burgundy.  This wine is with no doubt, Sauvignon Blanc. Its telltale aromas and flavors of dried herbs and tart citrus should pair it well with a mixed plate of oysters and other shellfish. 

Subtle notes of ripe red fruit and coffee. The flavor is like a "tailor-made silk dress", it is refined and elegant, with soft and light tannins and an incredibly long and persistent finish.
 

Valpolicella Grotta Del Ninfeo has a vivid ruby red colour with purplish tinges. On the nose the red fruit scent is immediately perceptible. On the palate it is fine and elegant, with a slightly acidulous and dry mouthfeel, characteristic of this vintage. It is a dynamic wine made for sharing.

Lovely deep garnet in appearance, Dourthe La Grande Cuvée 2016 is irresistible with its rich bouquet redolent of red and black berries, combined with delicately oaked and spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is initially supple, then rapidly gains in volume, underpinned by well-rounded tannins, coated in turn by the fruity, flavoursome and fresh wine. The overall balance of the different components defines this wine, which culminates in a lingering, aromatic, well-integrated oaky finish.

94 pts Vinous. Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard offers aromas of prosciutto, pepper, nutmeg and clove with red and black cherries, perfumed earth, potpourri and amaro hints. The palate is light to medium-bodied and silky, with intense flavor layers framed by fine-grained tannins and juicy freshness, finishing very long and energetic.

94 pts.  Aromas are deep, broad and complex: lemongrass, spearmint, thyme and white flowers. With air, a hint of honeysuckle emerges alongside rich brioche and dried apricot notes. The palate is immediately layered and full, with a sense of deep extract and concentration that comes directly from the vines. Stone fruits, oily citrus and preserved lemon are balanced by fresh, satisfying vibrant acidity. Building texture leads to a long echo of flavor that sails on and on. 

98 pts Jeb Dunnuck.  This is classic Pinot Noir all the way with its ripe black raspberry, baking spices, forest floor, background oak, and earth. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it's seamless, flawlessly balanced, and has a great, great finish. It's a stunning example of world-class Pinot Noir to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years or so.

Love the new label. Pleasant nose of tropical fruit of melon, some citrus and cut grass. Every day wine. Easy in the mouth with a gentle complexity. 

Unwooded, the nose shows some floral perfume before red cherry plus a little earth and spice while pure fruit, bright acidity and lightly grippy tannins characterize the palate. 

93 pts Wine Enthusiast.  Broad aromas of melon, nectarine and lemon blossom are fresh and crisp, while the palate is wrapped in a stony tension and lively acidity, delivering apple, pear and melon flavors.

93 pts Wine Enthusiast.  Rusty earth, raspberry, light peppercorn and a touch of incense show on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. The palate is energetic in acidity and very spicy, offering rich mulberry and red plum as well as rosewater and an array of baking spice, from nutmeg to clove.
