2011	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Les Bulles d’Alain	The 2011 Saint Peray les Bulles d'Alain was the last vintage to be made with a dosage—a minimal two grams per liter. This bottle was disgorged in May 2016. Richer and rounder than the 2016 tasted alongside, it offers pear, melon and citrus notes, a round, ample mouthfeel and a gentle, creamy finish. Drink up.

2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Chapelle Saint-Pierre	Compared to the Vieilles Fontaines, Voge's 2019 Cornas Chapelle Saint Pierre is slightly less impressive, although it offers more freshness and redder fruit. Hints of mint, violets and red plums mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky and moderately concentrated. From a younger parcel planted atop the appellation and matured 20 months in only older barrels, this wine offers fine balance and drinkability but remains less profound than the Vielles Fontaines.

2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint Joseph Les Cotes	Voge's 2020 Saint Joseph Les Cotes—from a parcel in Mauves—came across as slightly exotic in the blind-tasting lineup, with hints of violets, licorice and stone fruit. Maturing in older barriques, it's medium to full-bodied and supple on the palate, with an attractive softness that lingers on the finish.	Wine Advocate	90-92		2022-01-25
2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Saint-Peray Fleur de Crussol	The 2020 Saint Peray Fleur de Crussol—from 80-year-old Marsanne vines—is more typical Saint-Péray than the Ongrie bottling, offering up more subdued pear and melon aromas. Vinified and matured in a similar mix of 228-liter and 400-liter barrels (30% new), it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and round, charming and easy to drink, with a splash of lime on the long finish.

2020	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes	The sample presented of Voge's 2020 Cornas Vieilles Vignes was reassuringly excellent, with gently lifted, floral scents of violets, cassis and crushed stone. Full-bodied, deep and powerful, concentrated and rich but still almost painfully unformed, this needs time in the cellar. It's a blend of several parcels, aged in barrel but with just 15% or so new oak.	Wine Advocate	93-95		2022-01-25
2019	Domaine Alain Voge	Cornas Les Vieilles Fontaines	Salted licorice and crème de cassis mark the nose of the 2019 Cornas Vieilles Fontaines, another clear step up in the hierarchy of bottlings at Alain Voge. Produced from 80-year-old vines situated near a spring, which virtually prevents the vines from shutting down even during hot, dry years, the wine ages two years in 15% to 20% new French oak. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, tannic but supple and loaded with aging potential, this is an extraordinary Cornas.	Wine Advocate	95-98		2022-01-25
2017	Alain Brumont - Montus	Madiran 'Prestige'	This richly endowed, 100% Tannat wine is massive yet restrained. Elegance comes from the play of tannins against blackberry fruits. Structure and fruit are coming together and the wine should be ready to drink from 2024. Cellar Selection.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2022-01-24
2017	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran 'Vieilles Vignes'	Old vines from Alain Brumont’s home estate give massive concentration and structure to the already rich Tannat. This young wine is packed with dark fruits along with a juicy acidity and a solid background. Drink the wine from 2023.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-01-24
NV	Ayinger	Brauweisse	Creamy and flavorful with clove and light banana on the nose and palate. A bit of vanilla sweetness appears on the midpalate before finishing dry. This is sunshine in a glass, hitting all of the traditional hallmarks of the style, no lemon wedge garnish needed.	Wine Enthusiast	95		2022-01-24
2019	Stel+Mar	Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi	This elegant, easy-sipping wine offers ample black-cherry and black-plum flavors, good balance and a touch of tartness in the mouthfeel. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2022-01-24
