2014	Hentley Farm	Shiraz, The Beauty	Bright purple. Black raspberry, blueberry, mocha and Indian spices on the powerfully scented nose. Concentrated and expansive yet energetic as well, offering intense, appealingly sweet dark fruit and spicecake flavors and a hint of candied violet. Displays an impressive blend of power and finesse and shows no rough edges. Sweet, seamless and impressively persistent on the finish, where sneaky tannins provide shape and grip.

2016	Sulin	Casorzo DOC	Bright red. Very fresh and floral aromas and flavors of small red berries and aromatic herbs. A very well balanced, dainty wine that offers lots of personality and only 5% alcohol. Made with the Malvasia di Casorzo variety. A bowl of fresh red fruit and a glass of this a day will keep the doctor away.	Vinous	91		2017-10-09
2012	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino	Aromas of dried fruit and hot stones follow through to a full body, soft and silky tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Another outstanding Brunello for this producer. Why wait?	James Suckling	92		2017-09-13
