"This is the original oak-aged white designed by Alejandro Fernández. There are petrol notes alongside the sweet toasty character of the oak. The palate is quite powerful, rich and slightly warm, although it retains the sapid quality of the Airén. At the moment, I prefer the Tinaja, but this one should develop nicely with time." Amaya Cervera, Decanter

"This a textbook, elegant style of Marlborough Pinot, with pretty aromatics of cranberry, tobacco leaf, baking spice, red plum and cherry. The palate has layered fruit, nice flow, a touch of oak, moderate tannins and good carry. Fruit is drawn from across the region, including the Southern Valleys, Awatere and the tiny southern subregion of Kekerengu Coast. Winemaker Simon Waghorn...

"A fruity and refined wine with blackberry, black-chocolate and subtle berry and spice character. Medium body, medium tannins and a succulent finish. 65% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 15% cabernet sauvignon. Mostly from grapes of Castillon with some vats from top estates. Delicious now, but can age." 92, James Suckling

"The 2020 Barbaresco Asili Riserva is a sensual beauty. Dark and expansive on the palate, with gorgeous resonance, the 2020 is seriously impressive. Wild cherry, lavender, cedar, new leather and spice build effortlessly in the glass as the 2020 works its way through the mid-palate and into its beautifully reverberating finish. The 2020 is quite simply one of the very...

"Lush, ripe blueberries, fleshy black cherries, baked plums, minerals and violets. A touch of cocoa powder and espresso beans. Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate with lots of flavors rounded by filigreed tannins. Ripe, fleshy core of dark fruit in the middle. Long and broad. Already drinkable, but better from 2025." 95, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling

"Deep ruby in colour with bright highlights softened by slight traces of purple. An intense, ethereal bouquet, with the liquorice, roses and thyme alongside warm spices. Recommended with red meat, game and mature cheeses. The recommended serving temperature is 17-18 degrees."

"Medium ruby-purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Beaux Frères Vineyard opens slowly on the nose to a core of wild blackberry and blueberry, revealing tones of forest floor, licorice, bitters and floral potpourri as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is soft and juicy with surprisingly concentrated flavors for its delicate frame, and it has a long,...

At the highest confines of the Etna DOC, these un-grafted, old vineyards typically take the longest to fully ripen, and the wines are projected for the long haul. A touch more austere, but quintessentially Nerello Mascalese with their darker tones and grainy mouthfeel. The 2021 is​ a​ “lively and spry Rampante that is a bit unruly yet enjoyable all the...
