2012	Mas d'en Gil	Coma Alta	Bright straw. Tightly focused peach, pear and orange pith aromas are accented by anise and succulent herbs. Fresh citrus fruit and dried pear flavors are lifted by tangy acidity and show a refreshingly dry edge. Deepens on the incisive finish, picking up a minerally quality and showing very good focus and length. Quite lithe but concentrated as well, which makes the food-matching potential here pretty limitless.	Vinous	90		2017-02-20
2012	Mas d'en Gil	Coma Alta	From garnacha blanca in the slate soils of La Coma, this begins on notes of butterscotch and honey, then shifts into fresh, vibrant notes of lime and ginger. It has the weight and balance for roast pork.	Wine & Spirits	90		2017-02-20
2015	Folk Machine	Charbono Suisun Valley	This smells like textbook charbono, with a hyper-floral scent that one taster compared to magnolias. Its bright blueberry flavor feels unadorned, bursting with juiciness, its exotic floral aroma meeting darker, earthy spice and peppery grip in the end. It’s a curious but memorable wine that will make plenty of friends at a dinner party. Best Buy	Wine & Spirits	90		2017-02-20

2011	Chateau Bouscasse	Madiran	Bouscassé is the home of Alain Brumont who also owns Château Montus in Madiran. This powerful wine with its blend of Tannat with the two Cabernets (Franc and Sauvignon) is dense and packed with firm tannins. It is also equally full of generous black-plum fruits and considerable acidity. This is still young—it's a concentrated wine that needs to age further. Drink from 2019.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2017-02-07

2013	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino	Very fragrant and pure. Ripe plums but no hint of overripeness. Creamy richness and full, supple tannins make this an easy Brunello to enjoy. With more freshness on the finish it would rate even more highly. Drink now or hold.	James Suckling	92		2017-01-25
2013	La Fiorita	Brunello di Montalcino	Aromas of black cherry and dried herbs follow through to a full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.	James Suckling	92		2017-01-25
2016	Jean-Marc Burgaud	Morgon Cote du Py	Reveling in the tannins of a young Côte du Py, this wine is rich, structured and dense. The tannins give the dry edge this wine needs to age. Intense with ripe black fruits, this is a powerful. wine. Drink from 2019.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2017-01-25
