100 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Vogelsang Grosse Lage is pure, deep and intense on the spectacularly fine, mineral and absolutely unique nose that reveals concentrated but elegant and spicy-mineral fruit with a coolish and herbal terroir expression. A...

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...

94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"Soft notes of wood frame cool, pure and sauvage-inflected red and dark berry fruit and warm earth nuances. The dense, attractively rich and vibrant middleweight flavors possess fine detail on the balanced, precise and...

95 points Wine Spectator"Strawberry, raspberry and cherry aromas and flavors are beautifully displayed in this charming version, with loam, tobacco and herbs adding detail while the aftertaste goes on and on. Shows balance and formidable length." Jancis...

97 points Wine Advocate"This wine was tasted in a preview capacity as it won't hit the market until the beginning of next year. Tasted at the Giodo winery in one of the most remote and beautiful spots in the appellation surrounded by forests and wide...

93 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"The wood treatment is a bit more prominent on the spicy red and dark berry aromas that flash plenty of earth and sauvage nuances. There is a bit more verve to the big-bodied, intense and muscular flavors that exude...

98 points Wine Enthusiast"This is a ripe and structured wine that has a dense structure and concentrated blackberry fruit, yet it still shows the freshness typical of the vintage. It has an excellent long-term aging potential."97+ points Jeb...

96 points Decanter"Rich plum colour. This takes its time to open, is pretty subtle at first, but then explodes in juicy fruit. Clear salinity where you can feel the slate scrape of the limestone terroir, alongside well expressed aromatics with touches of...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"This crisp, fruity wine is packed with acidity as well as citrus flavors. It has a cool feel, beautifully fresh and with a strong mineral element. Drink this structured, textured wine from 2019." Vinous Reverie NotesDomaine...
