93 points Vinous"The 2017 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc was matured 75% in 500-liter barrels and 25% in concrete eggs. This has a more vivacious and slightly more fruit-driven bouquet of yellow plum and light nectarine notes, complemented by touches...

95 points Vinous"The 2017 Estate Reserve Chardonnay was matured in 500-liter barrels using 40% new oak. It has quite a powerful bouquet of crushed stone, yellow stone fruit, jasmine and light walnut aromas that are very well defined, although it clearly...

98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"Tight, fresh, silky and sweet, this delectable Port has mid-palate finesse and serious structure. After aeration, it seemed even more serious, and drier than statistics might suggest. The question is how fine it...

Jancis Robinson"80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Bianco. Disgorged November 2017.Beautifully mineral with an almost saline waxy fruit nose. Waxy fruit on the palate. Still very tight and a little closed. Mouth-watering and long and with energetic, waxy lemon...

Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,335g. The name comes from the old Rupestris du Lot rootstocks the Garganega was grafted on. The vineyard lies within the Foscarino cru on basalt and volcanic soils and facing south-west. Fermentation in 30% new barriques and...

97 points James Halliday"Wow. Silky smooth aromas of red berries, grey minerality (granite, graphite, etc) and breaths of oceans air whispered about. The palate is exactly as the nose promises, elegant and refined. Length of flavour is where this really...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"Lemon peel, exotic apple, minty forest herbs and a hint of tropical fruit converge on the nose of this bottling. The palate is loaded with pan-seared apples, coconut and toasted cashew flavors, framed by a lemon-peel acidity...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Briny and brisk aromas of lemon peel, chalk and honeydew are very tight and bright on the nose of this single-vineyard expression from 1,700 feet in the mountains. The palate is very taut and grippy, offering flavors of lemon...

Jancis Robinson"Labels and nomenclature a bit confusing … a blend of grapes of which Listán is just one.Very lively and interesting and complete. Great stuff. Sufficient acidity and lots of fruit. Overlay of sweetness but not a sweet wine...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Yarra Junction Pinot Noir is very light in color and low in alcohol too (11%). On the nose, you get cherries, tobacco, garden mint, star anise, fennel seeds and blood plum along with enoki, pastrami and...

96 points Decanter"Blend dominated by Touriga Franca (41%) and Touriga Nacional (37%). Mainly picked eight days after the mid-September rain: initially deep, ripe and dense on the nose, opening up to reveal a scented berry fruit bouquet. Lovely plum and...

98 points James SucklingThis is a superb baby Noval that reminds me of the 1966. Chewy yet so polished. The light sweetness suggests an overall dialing back of the sugar content. Stemmy and lightly green. A truly classic Noval. Almost all from Pinhao...
