2022	Annesanti	Umbria Bianco 'Acqua della Serpa'	The 2022 Bianco Acqua della Serpa is a veritable florist shop on the nose, complicated by fermented ginger, tangerine and green melon. This reverberates with zesty tension while displaying soothingly round textures as a cascade of mineral-drenched orchard fruits saturates. Sour citrus appears toward the close. It finishes with staining length and an herbal-tea-like concentration, leaving the palate dry and perfectly refreshed. The Bianco Acqua della Serpa is an amphora-aged blend of Trebbiano Spoletino, Malvasia, Martone, Pecorino and Grechetto.	Vinous	93		2024-10-11
2019	Plani Arche	Montefalco Sagrantino	The 2019 Montefalco Sagrantino is dark and brooding, with a smoldering blend of cherry sauce, grilled herbs and dark chocolate forming its bouquet. It floods the palate with textures of pure velvet, weighty yet refined and polished in feel. A dense wave of ripe red and black fruits slowly saturates. Youthfully monolithic, yet with complexities lurking beneath the surface, this finishes staining, structured and long with a pleasantly bitter tinge that lingers on. All of the right components are in place for the 2019 to enjoy a long maturation, but patience will be required.	Vinous	94+		2024-10-11
2019	Verbena	Brunello di Montalcino	Lots of dried fruits with dried black cherries and figs as well as dried rosemary followed by intense notes of roasted coffee beans and vanilla. Full-bodied with round tannins. A hint of mushroom in the aftertaste. Minerally and ripe. Needs a few more years to come out. Better after 2026.	James Suckling	91		2024-10-11
2023	Morgan	Chardonnay 'Highland' Santa Lucia Highlands	The 2023 Chardonnay Highland is ample and lively, opening with an uncomplicated nose of golden apple, nectarine and savory herbs. A nicely measured inner sweetness makes this approachable and easy to like. The 25% new oak is skillfully integrated, adding a spicy kick through the focused finish. Well done.	Vinous	90		2024-10-11
2018	Château Charmail	Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel	Dark ruby, violet tints, delicate bright rim. Delicate vanilla and coconut, black berry fruit, fine nuances of fine oak. Complex, sweet blackberry confit, some nougat, integrated tannins, elegant and long, delicate toasty aromas in the final good length, has ageing potential.	Falstaff	93		2024-10-07
2021	Cape Mentelle	Sauvignon Blanc	Pale colour. Very fresh tropical fruit, lemon curd aromas with a touch of spearmint. Rich and round with ample lemon glacé, tropical fruit flavours, fine lacy/chalky textures, lovely leesy complexity and fresh long racy acidity. Very good volume and vinosity. Drink now.

2018	Cape Mentelle	Shiraz Cabernet	Smoky and toasty on the nose, dense black fruits on the palate with sweet spices. The purity of fruit is excellent. It’s juicy full flavored ripe and exciting. Great value.	Decanter	92		2024-10-04
2020	Cape Mentelle	Sauvignon Blanc Semillon	Extended stainless steel ferment at very low temperatures with cultured yeast. Opens with passion fruit/tropical florals on the bouquet, tightening up with a stream of citrussy acidity channeling along the tongue, the finish bight and breezy.	James Halliday	94		2024-10-04
2021	Olivier Cazenave	Bel a Ciao Vin Orange Sans Souffre	This is floral and on the lighter side, with notes of green fig, spice and lime zest, plus a pure, moderate finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-10-01
2020	Alain Brumont - Bouscasse	Madiran	Aged for three years in a mix of small, large and older barrels, the wine is impressive. Smoky licorice aromas and powerful tannins show the concentration of the wine. Blending mainly Tannat with the two Cabernets, the wine is full of black-plum flavors, laced with still-young acidity. Drink from 2026. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	94		2024-10-01
