Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Reserve 2021, 0.75L
Malbec from Valle de Uco, Mendoza

“The 2021 Malbec Reserve from Altos Las Hormigas, sourced from Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, boasts a lean, precise character. Planted in chalky soils, it's a rich purple in the glass. The expressive nose presents enticing blueberry, violet, sage and other herb aromas. It has a compact, focused profile on the palate, with chalky tannins that contribute to the lean texture and a refreshing mouthfeel that highlights the wine's taut structure. The long, nuanced finish allows the wine's spare beauty to really come through.” 93, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Jun 2023

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

Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru la Fussiere 2022, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Maranges, Burgundy

“A more expressive and admirably pure nose freely offers up its array of red pinot fruit, spice and subtle floral nuances. The intense and beautifully delineated medium weight flavors possess a borderline pungent minerality, indeed the mouthfeel is like rolling a small pebbles on one's tongue, all wrapped in a long, firm and youthfully austere finale. Lovely and understated”. 89-91, Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr 2024

Bachelet-Monnot Santenay Les Prarons Dessus 2022, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Santenay, Burgundy

“This is the first wine in the range to display any reduction and here it's enough to suppress the fruit. Otherwise, there is slightly better volume to the equally stony and well-detailed medium weight flavors that terminate in an austere, moderately compact and sneaky long finish that is slightly less rustic”. 88-91, Allen Meadows, Burghound, Apr 2024

Joseph Colin Puligny-Montrachet Le Trezin 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Puligny Montrachet, Burgundy

"Beautifully layered aromas of smoked green apple, acacia and plenty of citrus elements give way to equally good volume and even more minerality on the impressively long and unusually powerful flavors that possess outstanding depth and persistence for a villages-level wine. This is built on its minerality though ultimately, it's the intricate and finely wrought balance that makes this such a standout. If you can find it, don't hesitate. *Outstanding, Top Value!*" 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, June 2022

Rémi Jobard Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or Vieilles Vignes 2022, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Bourgogne Côte d'Or, Burgundy

“A discreet application of wood can be found on the essence of poached pear, floral and citrus confit-scented nose. There is better energy, if not the same richness or density as the aligoté, to the delicious medium weight flavors that retain good delineation on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This is quite good for its level and worth considering”. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jun 2024

JL Vergnon Blanc de Blancs 'Conversation' Grand Cru Brut NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne

“The nose of the NV Champagne Grand Cru Conversation Brut lifts with a stylistically sweet perfume that translates through the entire range. It offers notes of sweet pastry, ripe peach, and honeydew melon, and the palate is medium-bodied and has ripe juicy fruit as well as a kiss of sweetness, with green apple candy, key lime, and white flowers. Approachable now, it would make a wonderful aperitif or an after dinner reset, given there is a hint of that generosity from the dosage. Drink over the next 8-10 years.”

Lemon confit, white flow apricot, mint, chamomile and plum meld together in an understated, classy Champagne ready to go now. I loved it. Dosage is 6 grams per liter.

“The NV Brut Rosé Cuvée Rubis is bright, floral and vibrant. Crushed red berry fruit, spice a lifted floral accents abound. The purity of the flavors is compelling. The Rubis is the enjoyable of the three Rosés I tasted from Vilmart this year. All that effusive floral, spice mineral energy builds to the resonant finish. The blend is 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. Disgorged: July, 2023.” 91, Anotnio, Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2022

Château de Plaisance Anjou La Grande Piece 2021, 0.75L
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, Loire

“The 2021 La Grande Pièce is one of the Plaisance's single vineyard wines. It's a less-frosted site with pudding stones creating a solar effect on the vines. Half aged in amphora and half in mainly-used barrels. Lemon, apple, almond croissant pastry. Excellent intensity, concentration and persistence. There's an element of tenderness, but linearity pervades this wine like a train on a track.” 92, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Piaggia Poggio de'Colli Toscana 2020, 0.75L
Cabernet Franc from Carmignano, Tuscany

"The darkly alluring 2020 Cabernet Franc Poggio de' Colli takes its time in the glass, slowly awakening with a dusty mix of red currants, pepper-tinged rose, exotic curries and the slightest touch of animal musk that adds gravitas. This is velvety smooth yet finessed. It's cool-toned in feel with a potent wave of tart raspberry fruits that saturates the palate with savory spice and mineral tones. It leaves a coating of fine tannins and a staining of berry concentration through the finale, tapering off sapid and long, yet perfectly balanced. What a radiant vintage for the Poggio de' Colli, Piaggia's varietal Cabernet Franc. Revisit it in five years to see some real sparks fly. (Drink between 2026-2034)" 97 Eric Guido, Vinous.com

Cuish Mezcal Espadín Agave Angustifolia NV, 0.75L
Mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

"In case you haven’t heard, we are big-time espadín advocates at Skurnik Wines and Spirits. Since the recent surge in popularity of mezcales made from numerous rare or wild agave, the once noble espadín has fallen into disrepute, often seen as commonplace and basic. This false impression could hardly be more incorrect. Truth is, the sugar-rich espadín has been the lifeblood of mezcal producing families for decades, and is often the most revered variety for its adaptability and generous yield, giving it a central role in social, civic and spiritual events for Oaxacan mezcal communities. Produced by maestro mezcalero Jose Santiago López in Santiago Matatlán, the heart of mezcal in Oaxaca, and rested in glass for two years, this espadín is a beautiful example of the variety’s diversity: full of ebullient aromatics like citrus peel, fresh bark, and sweet red berries. 48% ABV" ​Importer Notes, Skurnik Wines & Spirits

Crystallum Chardonnay The Agnes 2018, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Walker Bay, South Africa

"The 2018 The Agnes comes from five vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde and Overberg, aged in 228- and 500-liter barrels with 10% new oak. It has a discreet bouquet with subtle pressed flower and shale-like aromas that suggest this is a Chardonnay for cellaring. The palate is wonderfully poised, revealing hints of vanilla and coconut flakes on the entry, countered by a crisp line of acidity and a pleasing tautness on the finish. Excellent." 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Nov 2019

“It’s always a pleasure to meet with the indefatigable Peter-Allan Finlayson, whose wines at Crystallum I have been shoveling praise upon since his debut vintage …. [he] was on hand to guide me through his latest releases, although he admitted that he had forgotten to bring one of them. Probably had his mind on other things: the impending 2017 harvest and the fact that now he oversees not just Crystallum but Gabrielskloof, whose wines I have reviewed separately. Hopefully the reviews speak for themselves, merely consolidating everything that I have written before, principally that these are some of South Africa's finest Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Attesting to that was the fine performance of his wine when served against the likes of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of J-L Trapet at a lunch in Cape Town just a few days earlier. I asked about recent developments at Crystallum, and Fin—as he is known in these parts—told me that he had recently bought a piece of his own land for Crystallum, located around two kilometers past Creation, therefore outside the Hemel-en-Aarde region. At the moment he is still buying fruit from growers, but this single hectare of Pinot Noir is a start to obtaining "dirt" that he can call his own. As usual, these wines are highly recommended, although quantities remain frustratingly small.” Neal Martin, Vinous.com 2015/2017

Gently sweet and chewy on the palate, offering intense black currant, cherry and spicecake flavors braced by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Shows firming grip and smoky mineral lift on a persistent finish that features building tannins and a touch of gaminess." ​92 Points Josh Raynolds, Vinous

It's expressive, with herbal and red fruit notes, hints of blood orange, pomegranate, violet and a subtle barrel influence. Fine tannins, slight freshness and a touch of wet earth balance its ripeness. The 2021 is well-structured and attractively long." 92, Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous, Feb 2025

La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva 2019, 0.75L
Tempranillo Blend from Rioja Alta, La Rioja

"No 2018 was produced, so after the 2017 I tasted last year, we jumped to the 2019 Viña Ardanza Reserva, produced with a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. It fermented destemmed in stainless steel and aged in American oak barrels, 36 months for the Tempranillo and 30 months for Garnacha, and was blended before bottling. 2019 is a very good year for them, a small crop of powerful and concentrated wines when they produced all their brands, an exception. This is spicy, structured, balanced and powerful in this warm year, reaching the customary 14.5% alcohol and keeping a pH of 3.54 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It's still very young and undeveloped, with the classical profile, generous in American oak aromas and flavors that should slowly integrate in the wine with years in bottle. For them, 2019 means a change in Ardanza, less spicy (but still quite spicy, with clove, vanilla and tobacco leaves) and with more fresh fruit from the Garnacha. But the year is a modern version of 2015. 500,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023. No 2023 or 2024 will be produced either." 94, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate, Feb 2025

The medium-bodied palate is bright and chalky with restrained yet nuanced fruit and a long, latent finish.

“The 2022 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills comes from declassified fruit grown at Domaine de la Côte, plus purchased fruit from three other vineyards, including La Rinconada. It's a particularly complex and expressive iteration of Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir from Sandhi. It has an alluring perfume of raspberry, strawberry, tea leaves, tobacco, potpourri and gravel dust, and it reveals botanical undertones as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate has a deep core of spicy, herbal fruit, a frame of chalky tannins, energetic acidity and a long, layered finish.” 94, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023
