2014	Hentley Farm	The Beast	The 2014 Shiraz The Beast spent 22 months in oak (65% new French), so it has a toasty, cedary veneer to it right now. There's plenty of cherry fruit, so just give it some time in the cellar before popping a cork. By then the oak will have morphed into lovely dried-spice elements adorning ripe cherries, and the full-bodied wine will show more elegance on the lingering finish.	Wine Advocate	94		2018-10-10
2010	Andrea Oberto	Barolo Albarella	The 2010 Barolo Albarella shows a more evident use of oak (compared to the base Barolo) and definitely requires extra aging time to allow for full integration of those youthful aromas of spice and dark chocolate. The fruit is plush and forward, adding to the amazing sense of softness and generosity awarded by this pretty vineyard-designate wine. Licorice and bright cola flood the finish. Drink: 2017-2027.

NV	Champagne Jacquart	Brut Mosaique	This sits in a fresh aperitif style with all-round appeal. Apple and white peaches. Lime citrus, too. The palate has brisk acidity sliced through smooth and supple fruit flesh. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2018-10-05
2017	Jean Marc Burgaud	Beaujolais Les Vignes de Lantignie	Formerly labelled as Les Vignes de Thulon, the 2017 Beaujolais-Villages Les Vignes de Lantignié is very pretty, offering up notes of sweet cherries, cassis, plums and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample but juicy, with crunchy fruit flavors and bright acids.	Wine Advocate	90		2018-10-03
2017	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	Aromas of spring flowers, plums, cassis, orange rind and wood smoke introduce the 2017 Morgon Côte du Py, an ample, full-bodied wine with juicy acids, fine tannins and excellent concentration, its largely concealed structural chassis only asserting itself on the long, tangy finish. The most incipiently complex member of Burgaud's Grands Cras, Charmes and Côte du Py trio, it will reward a few years of patience.	Wine Advocate	93		2018-10-03
2017	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Grands Cras	The 2017 Morgon Grands Cras is one of the highlights of Burgaud's range this year, wafting from the glass with a lovely nose of wild plums, cassis, cracked black pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and fine-boned, its supple tannins concealed in a juicy and concentrated core of fruit. Burgaud opted to bottle the Grands Cras earlier than usual this year: maybe that's why the wine shows such super energy?	Wine Advocate	93		2018-10-03
2017	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	From a parcel planted in 1933, the 2017 Morgon Les Charmes bursts with scents of cherries, candied peel, grilled meat and ripe plums. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, with fine-grained but youthfully chewy structuring tannins and a generous core of fruit. A couple years of cellaring is recommended—Burgaud advocates between 2 and 5 years.	Wine Advocate	91		2018-10-03
2017	Jean Marc Burgaud	Regnie Vallieres	The 2017 Régnié Vallières is a great success, exhibiting a deep bouquet of plum preserve, potpourri and cassis. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but vibrant, with bright acids, a pure core of fruit and melting tannins, concluding with a flavorful finish. This is especially successful this year and well worth seeking out.	Wine Advocate	91		2018-10-03
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	Burgaud's 2016 Morgon Côte du Py is pure and expressive, bursting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, red berry preserve and rose petal. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, tangy and deep, with a cool, juicy core of fruit and a long, fragrant finish. It's racier and more elegant than the 2017 rendition, but they're on the same qualitative level.	Wine Advocate	93		2018-10-03
2016	Domaine Yves Cheron	Les Dentelles Cotes du Rhone	A blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone les Dentelles offers blueberry and mulberry flavors, a full-bodied palate with a ripe, creamy feel and a long, supple finish. A beautifully ripe and succulent red wine, it should drink well for 5-6 years.	Wine Advocate	91		2018-10-03
