2018	Perusini	Colli Orientali del Friuli Cabernet Franc	The zesty 2018 Cabernet Franc blends savory herbs with hints of mocha and crushed blackberries. It’s soft and round in feel, with savory dark red fruits and spices carried across saline-tinged minerals, creating a tantalizing expression upon the palate. This tapers off long with salted licorice and violet tinged florals, as well as a hint of cracked peppercorns. The 2018 Cabernet Franc is a more immediate wine, yet with the balance to please.

2017	Perusini	Picolit Colli Orientali del Friuli	Exotic tropical florals, peach preserves, hazelnuts and sweet cream waft up from the 2017 Picolit. Its silken, weighty textures find wonderful balance through bright acids and salty minerals, even as ultra-ripe orchard fruits drench the palate in concentration. Peach and sweet melon form, along with inner florals, as the 2017 displays beautiful balance, coming across as spicy yet ripe in style, and it leaves the mouth watering with a slight bump of residual acids that linger. Simply breathtaking.	Vinous	94		2022-08-11
2017	Andrea Oberto	Barolo	The Andrea Oberto 2017 Barolo del Comune di La Morra is subdued on first nose, with a classic approach of dark fruit, dried currant, cherry confit, spice and tar. Compared to many of the wines from this challenging vintage, this expression from the Oberto family is more graceful and polished overall, although that extra power and the alcohol content (measuring 15%) do not go unnoticed. As such, you'll want a nice cut of beef and a heaping side of roasted potatoes with this. Production is 19,000 bottles.	Wine Advocate	90		2022-08-10
2021	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	The 2021 Morgon Côte du Py is excellent, offering up aromas of cherries, plums and berries mingled with notions of peony, burning embers and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's seamless and succulent, with melting tannins, lively acids and a long, precise finish. After the richer, more powerful 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 vintages, the 2021 marks a return to a more classically proportioned style, even if Burgaud did a great job of avoiding excess and maximizing the potential of those riper vintages.

2021	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py 'Javernieres'	Notes of cassis, cherries, smoked meats, spices and loamy soil preface Burgaud's 2021 Morgon Côte du Py Javernières, a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered wine with lively acids, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. Deeper and more structure than the regular Côte du Py bottling, it's one 2021 Beaujolais that will merit at least a year's patience.	Wine Advocate	93+		2022-08-08
2021	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Grands Cras	Notes of wild berries, plums, smoked duck and orange rind introduce the 2021 Morgon Grands Cras, a medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent wine that's supple and sensual, with lively acids and a saline finish. It's another wine that shows the lighter vintage at its best.	Wine Advocate	92		2022-08-08
2021	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	The 2021 Morgon Les Charmes has also turned out nicely, revealing aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with sweet spices and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with supple tannins, lively acids and a giving, charming profile, it lives up to its name.	Wine Advocate	91		2022-08-08
2020	Lava Cap	Cabernet Sauvignon El Dorado	Powerful and flavor packed, this brawny wine offers tons of ripe blackberries, dark cherries and dark chocolate on a big frame of moderate tannins and a full body.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2022-08-08
2018	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran	A magnificent wine Alain Brumont that is still young. It is deep in dark Tannat flavors and a dense structure, the wine powerful with its black fruits and texture. Smoky, ripe, the wine’s wood aging is set to smooth and give depth as it matures. Drink from 2026. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-08-08
2018	Alain Brumont - Montus	Madiran	Known as the showcase estate of Madiran, Alain Brumont always produces impressive wines. This latest release is in the same mold. It is rich in tannins with dark black fruits and a massive structure that needs time. Drink this fine wine from 2025.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-08-08
