2015	El Principal	Memorias	This has a bright and smooth array of ripe red plums and blackberries and really asserts a long, lithe and juicy line of fresh fruit, cast in attractively fine tannins. Really balanced, all-round red. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot and syrah. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2020-01-22
2015	Andrea Oberto	Barolo DOCG	Pliant, supple and wonderfully inviting, Andrea Oberto's Barolo is a terrific introduction to the year. Succulent red cherry, plum, mocha, spice and dried flowers are all laced together in this racy, silky Barolo. The 2015 will drink beautifully right out of the gate. Think of it as the Barolo equivalent of a top-notch Burgundy village. The 2015 Barolo is a blend of three sites in La Morra: Boiolo, San Francesco and Annunziata.	Vinous	91		2020-01-22

2016	Boutinot	La Cote Sauvage Cotes du Rhone Villages Cairanne	The 2016 Cairanne La Côte Sauvage offers lots of cedar and spice notes, as well as solid blackberry and cherry fruit, medium body, ripe tannin, and terrific balance. It has some obvious oak, but that should integrate with a year or two in bottle. It's solid and well worth seeking out.	Jeb Dunnuck	90+		2020-01-21
2017	Le Cadeau	Diversité Pinot Noir	Attractive, earthy sweetness that is dressed in fragrant baking spices, across a core of ripe red cherries. The palate is fluid, sleek and long with a superbly defined tannin texture. Concentrated fruit abounds. This has great length and detail. Try from 2022.	James Suckling	94		2020-01-21
2014	Le Cadeau	Trajet Reserve Pinot Noir	(made with 80% whole clusters and 70% new French oak) Limpid ruby-red. Powerful, smoke- and spice-accented red and dark berry preserve, vanilla and lavender pastille scents show wonderful clarity, picking up notes of oak spices and cola with air. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated but lively black raspberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors that show excellent delineation and a touch of smoky minerality. Weighty yet graceful, delivering solid closing thrust and silky, slowly building tannins that fold steadily into the sappy fruit.	Vinous	93		2020-01-21
2017	Le Cadeau	Diversité Pinot Noir	This multiclonal selection from the vineyard's northernmost block is packed with Bing cherry and orange peel flavors. Good texture and appealing scents and details add floral highlights and a touch of Asian spice.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2020-01-21
2017	Le Cadeau	Diversité Pinot Noir	Tightly focused, with precise raspberry, orange peel and smoky forest floor accents that build tension toward broad-shouldered tannins. Drink now through 2026. 242 cases made.	Wine Spectator	91		2020-01-21
2017	Le Cadeau	Cote Est Pinot Noir	This has a wealth of rich, toasty dark spices with an autumnal, leafy edge that adds charm to the vibrant fruit.

2017	Le Cadeau	Cote Est Pinot Noir	Sleek and refined, with vibrant raspberry and violet aromas and piquant cherry, black tea and spice box flavors that build complexity toward snappy tannins. Drink now through 2026. 143 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2020-01-21
