2012	Collelceto	Brunello di Montalcino Riserva	Vivid dark red. Outstanding verve to the aromas of sour red cherry, raspberry, white pepper, violet and spices. At once velvety and racy on the palate, showing great energy and focus to the rich, ripe but vibrant red fruit, floral and mineral flavors. This electric wine has an almost steely quality from start to subtle, rising, mouth-coating finish. Amazing Brunello Riserva from Collelceto.	Vinous	95		2018-04-04
2016	Trabun	Malbec	Sergio Avendano's grapes come from the coolest part of Cachapoal and it shows in the freshness and vibrancy of this young vine clone 43 Malbec. Peppery, fresh, and attractive with attractive red fruits and a hint of wood.	Tim Atkin	92		2018-03-26
2017	Trabun	Malbec	Soaked blueberry character, orange juice, ink and white chocolate. Bright and vivid on the palate with a medium-to-full body, and a huge serving of blue fruit, vibrant acidity and a fruity finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	92		2018-03-26
2014	Trabun	Syrah	A very bright syrah from the outset with notes of orange rind, citrus, black pepper and crushed slate. Medium body, very vibrant acidity, a blue-fruited core, and a mineral finish. Drink now.	James Suckling	91		2018-03-26
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Beaujolais Villages 'Château de Thulon'	Vivid magenta. Vibrant red berry and spicecake scents are complemented by suggestions of underbrush and candied lavender. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet cherry and raspberry flavors that turn darker and deeper on the back half. Silky tannins sneak in on a very long, spice-tinged finish that leaves a note of candied flowers behind. This wine is showing cru-level complexity and persistence.	Vinous	91		2018-03-20
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Les Charmes	Deep ruby. An expansive, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red/blue fruits, exotic spices and incense, and a suave floral nuance gains power as the wine opens up. Silky, penetrating and energetic on the palate, offering vibrant boysenberry and strawberry flavors supported by a strong undercarriage of juicy acidity. Shows excellent clarity and minerally tension on the finish, which hangs on with outstanding tenacity.	Vinous	93		2018-03-20
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	Brilliant violet color. Powerful, smoke-accented black raspberry and cherry scents, along with suggestions of minerals and potpourri. Densely packed but surprisingly lithe dark berry, cherry and spicecake flavors show excellent clarity and become sweeter as the wine stretches out. Smoothly plays power off of elegance and finishes with impressive thrust and supple, slow-building tannins.	Vinous	93		2018-03-20
2016	Jean Marc Burgaud	Morgon Grands Cras	Lurid ruby. Heady, mineral-accented red/blue fruit aromas show excellent clarity and pick up suave floral and incense notes with aeration. Sweet and focused on the palate, offering intense boysenberry and raspberry flavors that deepen on the back half, with no loss of urgency. Shows outstanding focus and mineral cut on a very long, spice-laced finish that's framed by supple, even tannins.	Vinous	92		2018-03-20
2016	Karim Vionnet	Vin de Kav Chiroubles	Brilliant magenta. Displays intense, mineral-accented red/blue fruit scents, along with suave floral and Asian spice flourishes. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors and a lavender note that builds with aeration. Closes with strong, incisive thrust, sneaky tannins and impressively persistent dark berry and spice qualities.	Vinous	93		2018-03-20
2016	Karim Vionnet	Du Beur Dans Les Pinards Beaujolais-Villages	Limpid red. Displays intense, highly perfumed red berry, blood orange, spicecake and floral scents, with a mineral flourish that gains strength as the wine stretches out. Silky and weightless in the mouth, offering juicy strawberry, bitter cherry and lavender pastille flavors that take a sweeter turn on the back half. Closes very long and nervy, with resonating spiciness and florality and no tannins that I can find. This wine was made from vines once owned by Jules Chauvet, the founding father and guru of whole-cluster, minimal-intervention winemaking in Beaujolais who profoundly influenced many of today's leading winemakers of the region such as Lapierre, Foillard, Thévenet, and Chamonard.
