96 points Decanter"Good sense of weight, volume and depth here. The acidity is marked and nicely integrated, as is the alcohol and the oak for that matter - a harmonious, though certainly a sizeable and mighty wine. Concentrated, intense and long, with a...

95 points James Suckling"Black cherries and flowers, such as roses on the nose. Medium to full body with firm, silky tannins and a clear finish. Very al dente. Drink after 2027."94 points Decanter"This Brunello is an assemblage of plots in two...

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...

94+ points Wine Advocate"The 2009 Il Carbonaione has elegance to burn. Polished, silky tannins frame layers of fruit as this harmonious, totally finessed wine blossoms in the glass. The 2009 is simply glorious from the very first taste. A kick of...

96 points Wine Advocate"The 2011 Barolo Lazzarito is a landmark wine and one of the best expressions made region-wide in this challenging vintage. The bouquet is gorgeous thanks to the never-ending aromas of dark fruit, licorice and balsam herb that peel...

94+ Jeb Dunnuck"Clearly from a better vintage, the 2020 Hermitage Le Vignon Vieilles Vignes sports a deeper purple hue to go with ripe, powerful aromatics of smoked black and blue fruits, smoked game, violets, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, it has a...

95 points James Suckling"So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!)...

96 points Jasper Morris"There will be no En la Richarde Folatières from Héritiers Louis Jadot this year, but this bottling is superb. A little more toastiness on the nose. This builds beautifully to the back of the palate, showing an...

95 points Jasper Morris"Clear mid yellow. So much energy here too. An impressively racy quality with plenty of weight, very Charmes in character, strong fruit, and then a crunch of acidity. A little saline touch yet also some of the more exotic side...

98 points James Suckling"Extraordinarily complex aromas that span the range from dill to papaya. Enormous depth and concentration, the interplay of herbal freshness and exotic richness spot-on. Then come the dark and light side of the force at the...
