Bernhard Ott Gruner Veltliner Ried Rosenberg 2017, 0.75L
Gruner Veltliner from Wagram, Wagram
"From 60-year-old vines picked on September 29, Ott's Feuersbrunner 2017 Grüner Veltliner Ried Rosenberg 1ÖTW is super clear, precise and fresh on the nose where tropical and stone fruit aromas such as apricots, white peaches, nectarines, papayas and mangos are displayed. Full-bodied, lush and round with very fine acidity and good structure, this is a densely woven, fleshy, super elegant, persistent and very powerful Veltliner with an impressive but slightly massive finish. Super sexy but I tend to prefer the Spiegel from the 2017 vintage. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg and three weeks later in Vienna, both September 2018." 93 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Mee Godard Morgon Corcelette 2022, 0.75L
Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais
“This enchanting wine boasts a lovely perfumed nose with hints of plummy fruit and floral notes on the initial attack, while the palate features an impressively sweet fruit character, a silky, very fine texture and rewarding length. Godard observed that her Moulin à Vent is normally the ‘ethereal’ one, but the Corcelette seems to have usurped that role in 2022. The grapes come from three parcels in lieu-dit Bellevue and one in Montillet that total 1.5 hectares.” 93, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter, May 2024

Les Charmes-Godard 2021, 0.75L
Sauvignon Blanc / Sémillon / Sauvignon Gris from Côtes de Bordeaux Francs, Bordeaux
"Flowers, yellow citrus, honeysuckle, green apples, pears, and pink grapefruit nuances are all over the place on the nose and in the creamy, sweet, bright, vibrant, yellow citrus packed palate. The wine blends 65% Semillon 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sauvignon Gris." 93 Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider
"Very pale yellow-green with silver highlights. White flowers, a touch of quince, white stone fruit and a touch of gooseberry on the nose. Juicy, fresh peach notes on the palate balanced combine with a lively citrus texture and a minerality on the finish. Has great ageing potential." 92 Falstaff Magazin
"The 2021 Les Charms Godard is mostly Sémillon in this vintage, with smaller pieces of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. In 2021, Les Charmes Godard is brighter and more focused than in the past. Time in bottle will help release some its underlying texture, but readers won't find the softer contours that are typical here. As has been the custom for a number of years, it was vinified and aged in 500-liter barrels, but with the malolactic fermentation blocked." 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“There is a lovely freshness to Bouchard's Meursault Les Clous 2022 that brings a marvellous balance and length to the wine. The initial attack boasts aromas of citrus and apricot, acacia flowers and a saline minerality. There is richness as well, with notes of marzipan as the wine opens up on the palate. The grapes are from a parcel of over eight hectares that average 300 metres elevation, planted in stony marl soils that hold enough water to avoid stress in the summer's heat.” 93, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter, Oct 2023

"This impressive wine boasts lovely aromas of lemon peel and mineral with a floral edge. The body is lively and fresh, with bright acidity, medium body, and enough extract to drive a long finish. The grapes come from a 0.69-hectare parcel at the foot of the Roche de Vergisson. The old-vine Chardonnay was pressed directly without crushing and fermented in old oak casks, where it will stay for two full winters. No sulfur is used until bottling, and at that point, a de minimus 20 mg/litre is added.” 93 Charles Curtis MW, Decanter Magazine

Chavy-Chouet Meursault les Charmes 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Meursault, Burgundy
"The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru perhaps does not deliver quite the same mineralité or energy as the Les Genevrieres on the nose, maybe a little timid at the moment. The palate is well balanced with a sapid entry, quite saline with hints of oyster shells and fruits de mer towards its composed and persistent finish. Very fine. (Drink between 2024-2040)"93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
"Moderately generous wood stops just short of fighting with the ripe aromas of pear and apple compote, citrus confit and white peach. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess an abundance of dry extract that buffers the firm, palate coating and powerful finish. Some patience would be beneficial here as well as this is presently quite compact though not especially austere." 92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound

He also remarked that in 2004 there were still three ouvrées (0.125ha) of hundred-year-old vines.

“A classically structured wine for this appellation with the weight and round generosity that we expect from it, but with plenty of bright citrus and pear fruit, something these wines can lack a bit of. Good depth with an excellent integration of chalky minerality and healthy acidity at the long and delicate finish. With aeration a touch of vanilla bean develops on the nose. Drink or hold.” 93, James Suckling, Sep 2022
“The villages level bottlings of both white and red wines at Maison Drouhin have been getting better and better with each passing vintage, and the 2020 Meursault is no exception. This is a lovely wine, offering up a ripe and very refined bouquet of apple, tangerine, hazelnuts, fruit blossoms, a fine base of chalky soil and a nice base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full, complex and succulent at the core, with a lovely girdle of acidity, impeccable balance and a long, vibrant and quite classic finish.

Delamotte Blanc de Blancs Brut NV, 0.75L
Champagne Blend from Champagne, Champagne
". . . the latest rendition of Delamotte's NV Blanc de Blancs is showing just as well as its immediate predecessor, offering up a classy bouquet of crisp green apple, citrus oil, brioche, toasted nuts and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with a crisp but charming core of fruit, lively acids and a precise, saline finish. Since its acquisition in 1988 by Laurent-Perrier, Delamotte has been twinned with Salon, one of Champagne's most prestigious small houses. Delamotte has both gained and lost by the association: gained, in that some of Salon's reputation has tended to rub off on Delamotte, and lost, because Delamotte is frequently portrayed—though not by the house's team, of course—as something of a "second wine" to Salon. Though both are Chardonnay specialists emphasizing their home village Mesnil-sur-Oger, in reality, the styles are quite distinct. Delamotte's wines undergo malolactic fermentation and, in profile, are creamier, more textural and giving, displaying an elegantly autolytic character while eschewing any extremes of Maillard-derived toastiness. Average production amounts to some 750,000 bottles per year, and the estate's emblematic cuvées are its non-vintage and vintage Blanc de Blancs; the latter especially is a very serious wine, and recent renditions are especially good. In fact, the 2008 may be one of the more underrated wines from this superb vintage on the market, and it's arguably this cuvée that suffers the most by Delamotte's position in Salon's shadow. These wines age well, and old non-vintage Delamotte can be a great bargain in the auction or brokerage market. I'm currently finishing up a case from the early 1980s from my cellar in Burgundy, and every bottle has been terrific." 93, Wine Advocate Interim, Aug 2019

It packs in a lot of electricity and intensity on the palate, with a broad core of citrus that powers through, and although it’s medium-bodied, it fills those shoes to the max with its drive. Persistent with citrus and vibrant acidity, it offers an energetic and full mousse to balance it all out. Packed with notes of citrus oils on the palate, it’s a very strong effort from the vintage that may well surprise in terms of its aging potential.

The Chalaix lieu-dit was precise, fine, with no huge concentration but good balance. Lieu-dit Dardouille was looking promising, with good weight and length. The finished blend of the domaine’s St-Joseph is likely to be neat, precise and fresh, with a distinct mineral side, one to drink relatively young. There will be no separate bottling of Clos Florentin this year due to frost." 93 Matt Walls, Decanter Magazine
"The 2021s here are certainly strong wines in the vintage. The 2021 Saint Joseph is a healthy dense ruby/purple hue and offers textbook Saint Joseph aromas and flavors of black fruit (there's a hint of red fruit as well), graphite, ground pepper, and some meaty, bloody nuances.

Ficomontanino Toscana Rosso Granomelo 2019, 0.75L
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Tuscany
"Dusty cherry and crushed fall leaves evolve slowly into a deeper display of citrus-tinged raspberries, cinnamon and sweet white smoke as the 2018 Rosso Granomelo blossoms in the glass. This seduces with a silky wave of pure, ripe red berries and spices, as brilliant acidity lends vibrancy and saline-mineral tones add a salty flair. The 2018 has energy to burn, coming across as primary and wild, yet also refined. An herbal twang and grippy tannins collect toward the close. It leaves the palate classically dry, caked with an almost-chalky coating; however, it’s mouthwatering all the same. The contrasts here keep you guessing with each tilt of the glass, a mix of sheer drinkability and noble stature. This is a gorgeous glass of Sangiovese. The Granomelo hails from Ficomontanino’s Melogranino vineyard. It goes through spontaneous fermentation with a two-month maceration, and then refines completely in concrete. I’ll be following this wine closely in the vintages to come. A selection of inspired Tuscan wines arrived from Maria Sole at Ficomontanino. This is a 12-hectare property located in the extreme southeast of Tuscany, bordering Umbria and Lazio. In fact, geographically speaking, the climate here is closer to northern Lazio and mountainous Umbria than it is to Tuscany. The vineyards were originally planted by Maria Sole's grandfather in the 1960s, yet winemaking was more of a hobby for him. She took the reins of the family farm from her father after being bitten by the wine bug and was inspired by the likes of Tenute Dettori in Sardinia. Her education at Slow Food’s University of Culinary Arts at Pollenzo is also a huge influence in the winemaking here, choosing natural practices in the vineyards, spontaneous fermentations, long macerations, neutral aging vessels, no fining or filtration, and a minimum use of sulfur. In the end, Maria Sole really seems to be onto something, delivering a transparent and honest representation of terroir." 93 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous

This is surprisingly juicy and lifted in feel, with zesty acidity motivating depths of ripe wild berry fruits as sweet spices collect toward the close. It finishes gently tannic, with a cranberry crunch that adds a lovely punctuation.” 93, Eric Guido, Vinous, Dec 2023

Graham`s 10 Year Old Tawny Porto NV, 0.75L
Port Blend from Porto, Douro
“A luscious, super-moreish tawny, with notes of sweet orange peel, mellow Madeira honey cake, almond/marzipan and salted caramel. Silky, honeyed mouthfeel, with praline to the finish. Satisfying and very complete, this 10-year-old is naughty but nice, polished and toothsome: a great execution of the house style.” 93, Sarah Ahmed, Decanter, Nov 2020

Abadia Retuerta Seleccion Especial 2018, 0.75L
Tempranillo / Cabernet Sauvignon from Sardón de Duero, Castilla y León
"2018 was a cooler year with more rain and higher yields, and the 2018 Selección Especial—77% Tempranillo, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Syrah, 1% Merlot, 0.8% Petit Verdot and 0.3% Garnacha—shows very harmonious and better integrated oak than the 2017. Despite having similar analytical data, the wine comes through as fresher, more balanced, more fluid and with a finer texture given the quality of the tannins. 532,607 bottles produced. It was bottled in May and June 2020." 93, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Jun 2021

Bodegas Antidoto La Hormiga 2021, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León
“The 2021 La Hormiga is a 100% Tempranillo from old vines in Soria, Ribera del Duero. Aged for ten months in French oak barrels, it's garnet in the glass with a purple sheen. On the nose, you'll find notes of black cherry, crushed plum and a touch of arugula against an oaky backdrop. The palate is dry, taut and structured with finely-grained tannins and a juicy finish. This is an intense red from Ribera del Duero.” 93, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Sep 2023

Vinedos del Jorco Las Enebradas Navalgordo 2017, 0.75L
Grenache from Paraje del Jorco, Castilla y León
"I was really looking forward to the 2017 Las Enebradas, because the first vintage, 2016, was the revelation of my last review of the zone of Gredos. I was quite surprised because the profile is very different: the wine has a lot more color and up to 2% more alcohol. Nacho Jiménez, one of the partners, explained that the profile of the 2016 vintage was exceptional and hard to replicate, as yields were higher and it rained just before they picked the grapes, so the wine is a lot lighter. 2017 was very different, a lot warmer and with lower yields, and the grapes delivered a concentrated juice with a lot more color, tannin and alcohol. It has a more Mediterranean profile, more in line with the rest of the wines. This fermented with 50% full clusters and temperature control and matured in one 500-liter oak barrel. Despite the higher ripeness and the headier character, the wines from Navatalgordo have a different texture and fine thread, the finesse of a cooler place and sandy soils at higher altitude (even if the vines are south-facing here), and you see it when tasting this next to the wines from Cebreros. It's more elegant and fresher. 570 bottles were filled in August 2019." 93 Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate

Alegre Valgañón Rioja Tinto 2021, 0.75L
Tempranillo Blend from Rioja, La Rioja
“The 2021 Rioja regular bottling from Oscar Alegre and Eva Valgañón is made from a blend of tempranillo and garnacha from several different villages, with the idea to source the tempranillo from northern sectors ideally suited to this grape and to do the same for the garnacha, from the foothills to the south. The wine comes in at fourteen percent octane in 2021 and was given sixteen months aging in cask prior to bottling. It offers up a complex and nicely red fruity bouquet of raspberries, cherries, clove-like spice tones, a fine base of soil elements, cigar smoke, cedar and a nice touch of spiced meats from the garnacha in the blend. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and tangy, with excellent depth at the core, fine-grained tannins, lovely balance and a long, complex and very promising finish. This is an outstanding bottle in the making." 93, John Gilman, View From The Cellar, Jan 2024

Dehlinger Pinot Noir Altamont 2017, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley, California
"The 2017 Pinot Noir Altamont is a wine of real breadth. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and hard candy all flesh out in the glass. Rich, plush and enveloping, the Altamont captures all of the natural intensity of the year. A touch of stems adds character, but is not especially evident." 93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Di Costanzo Farella Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, 0.75L
Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville, California
“Here in its third vintage, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Farella Vineyard is just starting to come into its own, with pretty notes of red cherry, pomegranate, rose petal and licorice. The aromatics show the first signs of maturity, yet bright acids and pure fruit suggest another decade or so of fine drinking lies ahead. This is a pretty effort from Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo's early days. (Drink between 2022-2032).” 93, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2024

Dark and mysterious in the glass, the 2022 is wonderfully complex from start to finish. It's the sort of wine that continuously changes in the glass, revealing myriad shades of nuance over time. (Drink between 2024-2032).” 93, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2024

Full-bodied, but with clean lift and without weight, it has dark berries, candied flowers, sweet, ripe tannins, and a soft texture. This is an immediate wine, but it has good freshness and the structure to drink over the next 4-5 years." 93, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, 07/2023
