91 points Jasper Morris Jancis Robinson"Cask sample. Pale garnet. Slightly smudgy nose. Still quite chewy with fine tannins and marked but not excessive acidity. Needs time but should be a vigorous pleasurable drink eventually. 17/20 points...

92 points Jeb Dunnuck"A pale straw-silver hue, the newest release of the NV Champagne Intuition Brut is based on the 2020 vintage, with approximately half Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir and Meunier, and was disgorged in April of 2023. It opens with...

91 points Wine Advocate"Composed of 29% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 12% Malbec and 12% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Faithful Hound offers a ripe, succulent and healthy frame of red fruits that burst out of the glass. Medium-bodied, the...

97 points Vinous"The 2019 Barolo Parussi is Massolino's sole Barolo from Castiglione Falletto. A wine of total grace and refinement, the 2019 is pure seduction. Freshly cut flowers, mint, sweet red berry fruit, orange peel and rose petal soar out of the...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck"As always, the 2019 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is all Syrah that was not destemmed and will spend four years in new French oak. A wine with perfection written all over it, it's one of the most impressive barrel samples to...

94 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch offers pretty scents of nutmeg, meringue, honeysuckle and baked yellow apples. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and energetic, with gently honeyed fruit and a long, flavorful finish." Vinous...

97 points Decanter“Orange tint to the pale red. Extraordinary nose, like walking through a pine forest after the rain. Fine tannins and a gentle plumpness to the palate. Good acidity and a mineral note on the finish. Ethereal stuff, a beautiful...

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 points Decanter"There are plenty of ripe black plum and fig aromas, with strong components of earth and leather. Despite all the ripeness here, the wine is still balanced. Winemaker Jérôme Flous says: 'It is not far from 2018, but the...

Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,336 g. Broad, honeysuckle, clementine and spices on the nose. Juicy fruit, drawing from the clementine on the nose, adding Seville-orange zest, and the broad brushstroke of spice taking on the more precise flavours of...

92 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2021 Cornas is solid, with a pretty, medium-bodied, elegant prolife that shines for its purity of fruit. Both red and blue fruits, sappy flowers, cedary spice, and hints of iron all define the bouquet, and it's silky and...

Jancis Robinson"Cask sample. Mid crimson. Prettily scented with peony and red fruit. Classic Chambolle fragrance. On the palate, that floral and red-fruit character matches the aroma. Moderate intensity and plush texture. So approachable and better...
