93 points Vinous"The 2017 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc was matured 75% in 500-liter barrels and 25% in concrete eggs. This has a more vivacious and slightly more fruit-driven bouquet of yellow plum and light nectarine notes, complemented by touches...

95 points Vinous"The 2017 Estate Reserve Chardonnay was matured in 500-liter barrels using 40% new oak. It has quite a powerful bouquet of crushed stone, yellow stone fruit, jasmine and light walnut aromas that are very well defined, although it clearly...

98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"Tight, fresh, silky and sweet, this delectable Port has mid-palate finesse and serious structure. After aeration, it seemed even more serious, and drier than statistics might suggest. The question is how fine it...

97 points James Halliday"Wow. Silky smooth aromas of red berries, grey minerality (granite, graphite, etc) and breaths of oceans air whispered about. The palate is exactly as the nose promises, elegant and refined. Length of flavour is where this really...

Jancis Robinson"Labels and nomenclature a bit confusing … a blend of grapes of which Listán is just one.Very lively and interesting and complete. Great stuff. Sufficient acidity and lots of fruit. Overlay of sweetness but not a sweet wine...

93 points James Suckling“Cinnamon, white pepper, green paprika, green apples and citrus. Medium-bodied and very taut and citrusy on the palate, this trades in bright acidity and steely apple crunch. Drink now.” 92+ points John...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"Subtle notes of damask rose entwine with juicy, ripe yellow peach to give this wine a warm, subtle aroma. Spiciness is hinted at, then displayed on the creamy, rich palate where gentle sweetness is countered by a peppery...

Jancis Robinson"Garnacha, Tinta del Pais; from Toro but not a DO wine.Light wild-strawberry colour. Quite a potent nose, red-apple skin and beeswax. The palate shows some lovely honeyed notes as well as a savoury edge – it is really fresh and clean...

93 points Mosel Fine Wines"The 2017er Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett was harvested at 84-85° Oechsle from very old un-grafted vines in the Goldwingert part of the vineyard. It displays a most beautiful nose made of white flowers, whipped almond cream,...

90 points Vinous"Clear straw. Aromas and flavors of melon, apple and ripe pear. Well balanced and juicy on the long finish; not the last word in complexity but full of early appeal. This lovely wine is probably the best Aglianico vinified as a white wine...

93 points Mosel Fine Wines"The 2017er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett was harvested early at 82° Oechsle. It offers a gorgeous nose of grapefruit, apricot, under-ripe pineapple, citronella, yuzu, ginger cream and smoke. The wine is quite rich at first on...
