Weingut Neumeister Sauvignon Blanc Ried Moarfeitl 2020, 0.75L
Sauvignon Blanc from Vulkanland Steiermark, Straden
"Light yellow-green color, with silver highlights. Fine yellow gooseberry notes with fine hints of cassis, a touch of orange, and subtle floral nuances. Complex, taut, white fruit, with fine apple notes, a lemony touch, and a saline finish; good persistency, a salty finish, and certain ageing potential." 95 Peter Moser, Falstaff Magazin
"Neumeister's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Ried Moarfeitl GSTK offers a clear, complex and dense nose with fine soil spice and lots of iodine. Delicate on the palate, yet with substance and plenty of salt—most of all in the finish—this is a remarkably purist and fresh Moarfeitl with personality and a lot of finesse and elegance but also complexity. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Grafenegg in September 2022." 93 Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
"The flintiness and saltiness represent a remarkable beginning of this white, while its seductive texture really pulls you in. The zesty, high-pitched acidity flows through acting as the perfect vehicle for the lime, thistle-tea, lemon- verbena and chamomile notes. The long, stony finish glides effortlessly." 93 Aleks Zecevic, Wine Enthusiast

Domaine de L'Aurage 2020, 0.75L
Merlot / Cabernet Franc from Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux
"I was pretty much blown away by the quality of the 2020 Domaine de L'Aurage, and this is one serious Castillon that readers should jump on if given the chance. Offering a brilliant nose of ripe currants, black cherry liqueur, sweet tobacco, and spicy oak, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. An absolutely stunning wine, as well as the finest wine I've tasted from this estate, it will evolve for 15 years or more." 95, Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2023

Domaine Rouchier Saint-Joseph La Chave 2020, 0.75L
Syrah from St. Joseph, Rhone
"Rising aerial freshness, this gently hovers out of the glass, with a petrichor note on the nose. Light-bodied, but no lack of impact or intensity. Deeply textural, with a mass of ripe tannin, it finishes dry and saline. Great freshness and energy. Whole-bunch fermented with natural yeasts, followed by 16 months élevage in old barrels." 95 Matt Walls, Decanter Magazine

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chataneauf de Pape La Crau 2020, 0.375L
Grenache / Mourvèdre / Syrah / Cinsault from Chateauneuf du Pape, Rhône
"Tasted as a tank sample of the final blend, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau is a blend of approximately 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and 5% other permitted varieties, with about 30% whole bunches used in the ferments. Marked by ripe cherries and hints of complex garrigue notes on the nose, it's full-bodied but also really elegant, with fine-grained, silky tannins, ample concentration and a long, surprisingly crisp finish. 93-95 Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, May 2022

Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape 2020, 0.75L
Grenache Noir / Syrah / Mourvèdre from Chateauneuf du Pape, Rhône
"The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is another winner from this team, and readers can’t go wrong here. Based on 75% Grenache, 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, with the balance Cinsault, it was partially destemmed and brought up all in foudre. This beauty just about jumps out of the glass with its Provençal aromatics of ripe cherries, ground pepper, saddle leather, garrigue, and spice. These carry to a medium to full-bodied wine that has the vintage’s charming, pure character front and center, yet still brings good mid-palate density and ripe tannins. Buy a case, count yourself lucky, and enjoy bottles any time ..." 95 Jeb Dunnuck
"Excellent depth of black fruits, but the Mediterranean herb aromas dominate the fruit. Then the concentrated and very structured palate sweeps you away in a gentle and sensual way. Wonderful interplay of ripeness and expertly crafted fine tannins through the long, elegant finish. A cuvee 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% cinsault that were co-fermented, then matured in foudre. Drink or hold." 95 JamesSuckling.com
"Vieux Donjon's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is a balanced, harmonious effort that offers up pretty aromas of strawberries, raspberries and cherries, accented by hints of crushed stone and dusty earth. It's full-bodied and supple, with a long, silky-textured finish. Richer and riper than the 2021, it shows great harmony and texture. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes." 94 Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate

Joh. Bapt. Schafer Dorsheimer Goldloch Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2020, 0.75L
Riesling from Dorsheim, Nahe
“The 2020 Goldloch GG is super clear, precise and coolish on the deep, intense and flinty nose. Dense and mineral on the pure and structured palate, this Dorsheim Riesling reveals perfectly ripe and elegant fruit with a finely structured and salty, grippy finish. Very well made and doubtlessly a great dry Riesling GG with no freaky features but everything we all like Riesling for. Juicy and salivating finish. Extremely well made. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.” 95 Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate Aug 2021

Thorne & Daughters Sauvignon Blanc Snakes & Ladders Citrusdal Mountain 2020, 0.75L
Sauvignon Blanc from Western Cape, Western Cape
“Basie van Lill's low-yielding one-hectare block on Citrusdal Mountain has done it again, producing a wonderful follow up to the maiden release. ‘I wanted to get away from the variety’ says John Seccombe and he's succeeded thanks to talent, natural fermentation and incredible grapes. Concentrated yet focused …” 95 Tim Atkin

Dominio de Pingus Flor de Pingus 2020, 0.75L
Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León
"Flor is what Peter Sisseck calls "my village wine", sourced from La Horra with a smidgeon from Olmedillo. Featuring 3% Grenache for the first time, as well as 0.5% of white grapes, it's a gentle, precise, beautifully balanced red, with granular tannins, plum, liquorice and wild strawberry flavours and a subtle, palate-caressing finish." 95, Tim Atkin, TimAtkin.com
"There is around 20% new oak in the 2020 Flor de Pingus, and because it has a little younger vines (there was a land-consolidation project in La Horra in 2006!), there'll be some Garnacha starting in 2021 and maybe some oak vats for aging too. All this shows the direction, where he found structure and volume in the palate, with textured tannins. It's harmonious and elegant, aromatic and floral, perfumed and showy, with contained ripeness and around 14% alcohol. The palate is quite powerful, with abundant but fine tannins." 94+, Luis Guiterrez, Wine Advocate

Anthill Farms Chardonnay Peugh Vineyard 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Russian River Valley, California
"Matured in about 20% new French Stockinger barrels, the 2020 Chardonnay Peugh has delicate aromas of lemon peel, Greek yogurt and crushed stone. The medium-bodied palate offers much more than the nose at this stage, with generous, aromatic fruits, an expansive, satiny texture and a balance of honeyed bass tones, with top notes of tangerine and lime peel on the very long, energetic finish." 95 Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate

Syrah / Cabernet Sauvignon / Petit Verdot from Paso Robles, California
"A blend of 58% Syrah, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Petit Verdot, the 2020 Optimus has a deep ruby color and a deep core of red and black cherries, chargrill, thyme, charcuterie and desiccated violet. The full-bodied palate is light on its feet with juicy acidity and approachable grainy tannins, and it has a long, layered finish." 95 Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
"Grilled meat, bacon fat, tobacco and olives to the nose that follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate with rich, creamy tannins. 58% syrah, 31% cabernet sauvignon, 11% petit verdot. Drink now or hold." 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, Sep 2022

Zinfandel / Petite Sirah / Carignane / Mataro from Dry Creek Valley, California
"This has lots of horizontal tannins that provide fine muscle and form. It's medium- to full-bodied with freshness and brightness. Red berries, crushed cloves and other spices. Grapey, for a better word. Sophisticated. Chewy, Needs time to soften. Zinfandel with petite sirah and carignan. Drinkable now, but better with two or three years of bottle age." 95 James Suckling, JameSuckling.com
