92 points Wine Spectator"This is full of pure black cherry and blackberry flavors, polished and packaged in toasty, spicy oak. Vibrant, firming up on the mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2022 through 2035. 278 cases made, 10 cases imported." 91 points...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Chocolate-covered strawberries, fresh coffee, licorice and savory spices characterize the nose of this wine. The dense and rich wine is forward and expressive on the palate, with loads of red fruit and ripe black fruits. The...

95 points James Suckling"Aromas of dried flowers, black cherries and dried strawberries follow through to a medium to full body with very fine tannins that coat the mouth. From organically grown grapes. Fresh, bright and very drinkable now, but will be...

Vinous Reverie NotesThe basis for this elegant Royal Brut Cremant are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. It delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 9 grams of residual sugar. Tasting Notes: In this it shows a...

95 points Falstaff"Shiny ruby ​​garnet with brightening edge. Fragrant and inviting nose, full of dark cherries, plums and rose petals, some beeswax in the background. Grippy, dense tannin, fresh fruit, surprisingly fresh acidity, shows good tension,...

95 points Decanter"A regular medal winner at DWWA, this is a traditional LBV from an excellent year. Foot-trodden aged for years in wood before bottling without filtration. This wine has power and depth, with fresh, tight-knit fruit and gentle...

95 points Wine Spectator"Very expressive, with singed bay, sweet tapenade and singed juniper notes leading off, followed by gently mulled cherry, plum and raspberry fruit flavors. Juniper note streaks through the fruit on the finish, with a long sanguine...

94+ Wine Advocate"One of the bigger productions (with 17,744 bottles) in the Produttori del Barbaresco's portfolio is the 2017 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello. All of the Riservas in this vintage are characterized by especially exuberant and bold aromas,...

95 points Vinous"Conterno's 2017 Barolo Ginestra is a wine of gravitas and pure power. All of the muscle of Ginestra comes through loud and clear. I am not sure the tannins will ever fully soften - this is Ginestra after all - but there is certainly...
