Malescot St. Exupery 2014, 0.75L
Bordeaux Blend from Margaux, Bordeaux
“Dark currants and berries with walnuts on the nose. Follows through to a full body, integrated tannins and a gorgeous finish. Exciting. Wow.” 96, James Suckling, Feb 2017
“I put the 2014 Malescot St-Expuery up with the crème de la crème of this vintage and it offers a wonderfully complete, balanced, concentrated style offers loads of class and personality. With loads of blackcurrant and black cherry fruits intermixed with notions of graphite/lead pencil, spring flowers, and damp earth, it’s medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, layered, and ripe, with sweet tannin and rock-solid underlying acidity. This is a straight up gorgeous, classy, elegant Margaux that’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and shine for 15-20 years. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to taste the 2015 for this report.” 93+, Jeb Dunnuck, Nov 2017

Bodegas Hermanos Pecina Rioja Senorio de Pecina Gran Reserva 2014, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Rioja Alta, La Rioja
“The 2014 Señorío de P Peciña Gran Reserva feels quite developed and tertiary with notes of iodine, brick dust, sweet spices and a polished mouthfeel. It feels like a lighter Gran Reserva with a more delicate palate, 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.45. Ideal with food. It matured in used American oak barrels for 48 months and was racked every six months. 7,000 bottles were filled in November 2019.” 92, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Feb, 2024

Faustino Rioja I Gran Reserva 2014, 0.75L
Tempranillo Blend from Rioja, La Rioja
"Brooding depth with excellent complexity. There’s an attractive umami touch along with notes of dried black mushrooms, dark spices, pine cones, dark chocolate, focused blackberries and dark cherries. It has a full body and fine-veined tannins. Juicy, fleshy and long, but still quite reserved. An exemplary, well-rounded Rioja gran reserva that’s already approachable, but will improve in the next four to eight years." 94, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling, Jul 2024

Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Gary`s Vineyard 2014, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia Highlands, California
"One of the top examples I was able to taste from this terrific vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2014 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is a big, rich, concentrated effort that gives up full-bodied notes of savory herbs, scrub brush, black currants and the classic savory, earthy and mineral characteristics that this site is known for. Fermented with 25% whole clusters, it has lots of texture, lots of tannin, and lots of length. It's a smokin' wine . . . . This was another rock star lineup from Kosta Browne and it’s certainly one of the most impressive lineups I tasted all year. And while I generally consider 2013 to be a better vintage than 2014, these 2014s are a step up over last year’s releases, which were no slouches either. The estate continues to use moderate amounts of whole clusters for their reds, and aging occurs in varying amounts of French oak (and recently, some concrete). While these are big, rich wines, they’re in no way over the top and the vast majority have classic, structured and age-worthy profiles. Other producers at this level are few and far between." 95 Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
