2010	Mas d'En Gil	Bellmunt Vi de Vila'	(60% garnacha, 20% carinena and 20% cabernet sauvignon): Opaque ruby. Aromas of cherry, blackberry and peppery spices, plus a smoky topnote and a hint of minerality. Lively and subtly sweet, with bitter cherry and dark fruit flavors picking up a suave floral nuance with air. A suggestion of succulent herbs comes up with air and carries through the long, youthfully tannic finish. This wine likes a little air.	Vinous	91		2021-03-30
2009	Mas d'En Gil	Clos Fontà Vinyes Velles'	(40% garnacha peluda, 30% garnacha and 30% carinena): Inky ruby. Sexy blackberry, cola and floral pastille aromas display very good energy and pick up a mineral nuance with air. Round and fleshy on the palate, offering gently sweet dark berry and spicecake flavors lifted by a mineral element. At once rich and lively, showing a silky texture and excellent depth. Leaves an exotic candied lavender quality behind on the strikingly long, penetrating, gently tannic finish, which shows no rough edges.	Vinous	94		2021-03-30
2009	Mas d'En Gil	Coma Vella'	(40% garnacha peluda, 25% garnacha, 20% carinena and 15% syrah): Deep ruby. Aromas of dried cherry, cassis, violet and peppery spices, with a bright mineral quality adding lift and focus. Ripe and broad on entry, then fresh and lively in the mid-palate, offering intense dark fruit flavors complicated by white pepper and a touch of candied flowers. Finishes smooth, sweet and very long, with sneaky tannins and a touch of smokiness.	Vinous	92		2021-03-30
2008	Mas d'En Gil	Clos Fontà Vinyes Velles'	(40% garnacha peluda, 30% garnacha pais and 30% carinena): Opaque ruby. An expansive, heady bouquet displays scents of candied dark berries, licorice, violet pastille, woodsmoke and minerals; smells like a wine from the northern Rhone. Sweet, penetrating and seamless on the palate, offering vibrant blackberry and cherry-cola flavors and suggestions of bitter chocolate and candied licorice. Finishes smooth and long, with resonating spiciness and supple, even tannins.	Vinous	92		2021-03-30
2008	Mas d'En Gil	Coma Vella'	(60% garnacha, 25% carinena and 15% syrah): Vivid ruby. Redcurrant and cherry on the fragrant mineral- and herb-accented nose. Taut and focused, offering mineral-tinged red fruit flavors and a hint of licorice. Closes with firm cut and very good tangy persistence. No excess fat here but no shortage of flavor intensity either.	Vinous	91		2021-03-30
2000	Mas d'En Gil	Clos Fontà Vinyes Velles'	Dark ruby. Smoky, oak-accented blackcurrant and kirsch aromas are complicated by pungent tarragon, mocha and underbrush. Deep cherry and dark berry flavors are framed by supple tannins and gain a mineral lift on the finish. Takes on more breadth and power with air without losing its focus. This has impressive persistence and clarity.	Vinous	90		2021-03-30
2018	Domaine du Pegau	Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Cuvee Reserve'	The 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée is full-bodied but quite approachable and easy to drink, loaded with black cherries and plummy fruit and tinged with licorice. A blend of 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 10% other permitted varieties, it finishes long and silky.	Wine Advocate	92-95		2021-03-29

2015	Francs	Les Cerisiers Cotes de Francs	Quite dark and brambly aromas here with a wealth of intense cassis, dark cherries and mulberries. Tannins are smoothly assertive, crafting length into a fresh, dark-berry-infused finish. Try from 2022.	James Suckling	92		2021-03-23
2020	Cuarto Dominio	Malbec 'Tolentino'	Violets, blueberries, sandalwood and bark on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, sleek tannins and fresh acidity. Pretty and polished with good structure and concentration. Drink now or hold.	James Suckling	92		2021-03-23
