2021	Col Vetoraz	Valdobbiadene Prosecco Brut	The 2021 Brut is more savory than sweet, with dusty yellow florals and crushed rocks giving way to nuances of peach skins. This cascades across the palate with a chiseled bead of fine bubbles, mixing salty minerals with ripe orchard fruits. It leaves the senses wholly refreshed and clean, as residual acids keep the mouth watering for more.	Vinous	90		2022-12-14
2021	Marziano Abbona	Dogliani San Luigi	The 2021 Dogliani San Luigi offers up a beguiling mix of dark red/black fruits, grilled herbs, new leather, licorice, incense, tobacco and scorched earth. This brooding, savory Dogliani packs quite the punch. There is a bit of rusticity in the flavors and tannins, but nothing that can't be handled by pairing this with similarly hearty fare.

2020	Marziano Abbona	Nebbiolo d'Alba Bricco Barone	The 2020 Nebbiolo d'Alba Bricco Barone is laced with macerated cherry, spice, tobacco, incense, licorice and dried herbs. Readers will find a pretty potent, deep Nebbiolo d'Alba with more than enough structure to drink well for at least a handful of years. The 2020 is maybe just a touch rustic in its tannins, but nevertheless overdelivers big time. Quite simply, this puts a number of Barolos and Barbarescos to shame.	Vinous	92		2022-12-12
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.	Wine Spectator	94		2022-12-07
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.	Wine Spectator	95		2022-12-07
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
