2019	Château Bouscassé	Madiran	This wine, blending Tannat and the two Cabernets, comes from one of the premium Madiran vineyards. It is, of course, young, its dark chocolate aroma and rich, dense black fruits showing a wine with a fine future. Drink this impressive Alain Brumont wine from 2026.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2024-11-04
2022	Morgan	G17 Syrah	This bottling, which includes 6% Mourvèdre and 4% Grenache, is shy on the nose at first, then opens slowly into elderberry and dark soil aromas. The palate is spicy with pepper and herbal in thyme, giving depth to the blackberry backdrop. Drink now–2038. Cellar Selection.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2024-11-04
2021	Lava Cap	Chardonnay El Dorado	This wine is vibrant, lifted with aromas of peach, mango, pineapple, dried spice and orange blossom water on the nose. The flavors on the palate are apple, pear and lemon-vanilla cream, with a dry finish. Pair with weekday meals.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2024-11-04
2022	Castaing	Cotes de Bourg	This is a spicy, polished wine, with wood aging and a toasty aroma. Its black fruits and rich tannins are still developing, promising fine potential. Drink from 2026. Suitable for vegans. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-11-04
2022	Forlong	Tintilla 'Terracota'	After tasting some very complex whites, it was hard to taste the reds, so I had to take a break and a reset to go to the 2022 Terracota (temporarily called Amphora in the previous vintage), produced with Tintilla de Rota grapes in a fresh style but marked by the warm and dry year, when it achieved 13.5% alcohol while it kept five grams of acidity. The grapes were picked early, and the wine fermented and matured in terracotta tinaja, or ánfora, for 12 months, trying to preserve the freshness and primary character of the variety. It was produced with grapes grown on albariza soils 10 kilometers from the sea in the Pago Balbaína. 2,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.	Wine Advocate	91+		2024-10-29
2022	Forlong	Palomino 'Burbuja'	The organic ancestral sparkling white 2022 Burbuja Blanco was produced with Palomino grapes from Balbaína on "lustrillo" albariza soils. It fermented in stainless steel and was put in bottle in September 2022 and finished fermenting in bottle, where it was kept with the lees until it was disgorged in June 2023. It has a cloudy golden color, an expressive nose dominated by notes from the soil rather than the variety, medium ripeness and 12.5% alcohol with mellow acidity and a dry finish, denoting a warm and dry year. It has small bubbles and a very sapid palate, round, creamy and tasty with an almost salty finish. 2,000 bottles produced.	Wine Advocate	92		2024-10-29
2021	I Custodi	Etna Bianco 'Ante'	A tight Etna showing smoky minerality and marzipan, lemon pulp and broom bush. Light-bodied, this has delicate acidity and an almondy finish.	James Suckling	91		2024-10-29
2022	I Custodi	Etna Rosso 'Pistus'	Ripe strawberries and cherries with black pepper and smoky, earthy tones. Medium-bodied, this has silky tannins, moderate refreshing acidity and a polished finish. Not too extracted, more elegant than powerful, it’s delicious to drink now.	James Suckling	93		2024-10-29
2021	Two Hands	Cabernet Sauvignon 'Sexy Beast' McLaren Vale	A deep color in the glass. The 2021 Sexy Beast is open for business and immediately launches into decadent and luscious blackcurrant jam and dark chocolate aromas but is nicely tempered by a gentle leafiness and toasty oak. It continues in the bold, high-octane style on the palate with significant upfront impact and then dense, dark berry fruit touches with serious power and length. Juicy acidity and oak tannins also provide a good backbone to enjoy over the short to medium term.	Vinous	92		2024-10-29
2022	Two Hands	Shiraz 'Angels Share' McLaren Vale	The 2022 Angel's Share Shiraz is saturated with black cherry, raspberry, licorice and pink peppercorn-rolled pastrami. In the mouth, it is all of this: silky and spicy and concentrated but not heavy. Nicely done. 14.4% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.	Wine Advocate	91+		2024-10-29
