93 points Falstaff"Dark, flint ruby red. Very closed on the nose, later blood orange followed by ripe sour cherry, then with notes of wood. Subtle notion on the palate, with pithy tannins and elegant, restrained fruit. Retronasal clearly red currant...

94 Jeb Dunnuck"Based on Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, the 2020 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Compartir is another deep purple-hued release from this château revealing a great nose of both cassis and darker berry-like fruit as well as spice,...

98 points Vinous"The 2021 Tignanello is every bit as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel and then just after bottling. Silky and polished, with exceptional finesse, the 2021 has all the pedigree to become a modern benchmark for Tignanello and...

94 points James Suckling"Brown stems with a hint of blackcurrants, mulberries, violets, rose hips and a hint of licorice. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a fleshy mid-palate and fine tannins. Quite intense yet vibrant. Great drinkability. Drink...

95 points James Suckling"A different style to the previous vintage of Los Parientes. This shows nimbler, more lime-like white and green fruit with green apples, nectarines, green tea and some chamomile. Very cool, taut and vibrant with bright,...

95 points Wine Advocate"Chiefly (90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel`s 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry...
