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...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Chocolate-covered strawberries, fresh coffee, licorice and savory spices characterize the nose of this wine. The dense and rich wine is forward and expressive on the palate, with loads of red fruit and ripe black fruits. The...

93 points Vinous"Vivid ruby. Powerful black and blue fruit aromas show sharp clarity and complementary smoky mineral and spice flourishes. Chewy and energetic in style, offering concentrated boysenberry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors and a...

95 points James Suckling"Aromas of dried flowers, black cherries and dried strawberries follow through to a medium to full body with very fine tannins that coat the mouth. From organically grown grapes. Fresh, bright and very drinkable now, but will be...

92 points Wine & Spirits"This is a robust and structured Rosso, its dark cherry flavors riding on firm, new-leather tannins as the wine gains notes of warm spice and graphite. Decant it to coax out the juicy red fruit tones." 92 points James...

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...

90 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2021 Gigondas Domaines Des Capes Les Ocres Des Dentelles checks in as 76% Grenache and 24% Syrah, brought up in tank. It's a classic effort offering plenty of darker fruits, some peppery violets, and meaty, Syrah-like nuances,...

93 points Vinous"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Catena Appellation Agrelo from Luján de Cuyo was aged for eight months in a third new barrels. Garnet red in hue. The nose offers notes of roasted red pepper, ash and ripe blackcurrant along with hints...

91 points Allen Meadows, Burghound Jancis Robinson"Deep black fruit on the palate, furry tannin with plenty of heft and substance. Reasonably simple flavours right now, but with definition and concentration that bodes well for maturation. 17++/20 points...
