2021	Marziano Abbona	Dogliani 'Papa Celso'	The 2021 Dogliani Papà Celso is packed with the essence of blueberry jam, incense, licorice, tobacco, chocolate and scorched earth. Inky and opulent to the core, the 2021 is once again one of the most heady, exotic wines in Dogliani, a true original. Give the potent tannins a year or two to soften.	Vinous	94		2022-12-12
2018	La Ciarliana	Vino Nobile di Montepulciano	Rich, dark ruby. Clearly marked nose with rich notes of ripe cherries, some dark currant, liquorice in the background. Pithy tannins on the palate, coated with a sweet texture, develops well, then on the finish unfortunately subtle malty notes are clearly marked by the wood.	Falstaff	91		2022-12-08
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Chailles	Dark and alluring yet also pretty, with expressive violet, dried lavender and blackberry paste built atop an underlying freshness. Concentrated on the palate, with balsamic, black pepper and subtle iodine building on the meaty, plump character. A beam of iron and firming tannins dry out the finish, though this is drinking great now. Drink now through 2032.	Wine Spectator	94		2022-12-07
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	Harmonious and beautiful, with seamless integration to the supple apple, warm pear and salted pastry flavors that are plump yet well-framed. Though densely packed, this shows impressive grace and range, with chamomile, invigorating minerality and bitter almond skin on the long finish. Delicious. Drink now through 2028.

2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	This has density and power, with sappy black fig, mulled plum and cassis offset by savory olive tapenade and salty balsamic reduction. Maintains a nice form to support its weight, with grounding cast iron minerality and accents of bay leaf and violet on the formidable finish. Best from 2024 through 2035.

2018	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	This has a rich and aromatic nose of hazelnuts, poached plums, orange peel, spearmint and hot chocolate. Full-bodied, with broad and velvety tannins that spread across the palate. Rich and warm, but balanced. Drink after 2024.	James Suckling	93		2022-12-06
2017	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Polished and expressive nose of crushed raspberries, bramble berries, rosemary, lavender and sandalwood. Rich and firm, with a full body and firm, chewy tannins. Fresh and bright for the vintage. Bright finish. Try after 2024.	James Suckling	93		2022-12-06
2018	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino 'Le Pope'	Some musky undertones to the dried lavender, currants, sour cherries and chocolate. Full body with chalky tannins. A little rustic at the moment but will soften. Try in 2024.	James Suckling	92		2022-12-06
2018	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino	This has aromas of currants, maraschino cherries, licorice and balsamic. Medium to full body with sleek tannins. Nicely savory at the end. Drink from 2023.	James Suckling	90		2022-12-06
2020	Elia Palazzesi	Rosso di Montalcino	The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino is understated in the glass, with savory herbal nuances and notes of wild strawberry forming its slightly muted bouquet. This is silky in feel with medium-bodied weight and ripe red and hints of black fruits that settle in toward the close. Blackberries and hints of spice linger, as the 2020 finishes lightly structured and long. This needs a little more time to develop its aromatics, but is truly a nicely balanced and characterful expression of the vintage.	Vinous	90		2022-12-06
