95 points Tim Atkin, MW"Near the village on the northern side [of Rugiens] and on the lower portion of the slope, this is a very fine Rugiens. Its heady aromas start with baked red plums and savory spices before its palate broadens into wild...

94 points Vinous"The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru comes from Rion’s largest parcel of 1.8 hectares, currently undergoing piecemeal replanting using a massal selection program. This has a fragrant bouquet of red...

95 points Wine Advocate"Luscious fruit defines this 2020 King's Wood Shiraz, but it morphs through the middle palate with shades of meat, red licorice, dark chocolate and mulberry—it’s very sweet in character. There is blackberry, raspberry...

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...

98 points Decanter"Here is one of the stars of this challenging vintage. A muscular wine, leading with tremendous freshness on the palate, restrained red-toned fruit, and very subtle yet elegant cedar wood intermixed with red-rock minerality. Medium to...

92 points Vinous"The 2017 Chianti Classico is bright, floral and beautifully lifted, with lovely red berry and rose petal character. Pliant and supple, with terrific balance, the Querciabella 2017 is one of the more refined, restrained Chianti Classicos...

99 points James Suckling"So much sweet tobacco, stone, brambleberry and currant on the nose. The palate is full and compact with very polished tannins, yet they are solid and sturdy and run the length and width of the wine. Energetic acidity. Very...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck"My money is on the 2018 Château Pédesclaux being the best to date, and this estate has made leaps and bounds in terms of quality over the past decade. The 2018 is made from 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5%...
