90 points John Gilman, View from the Cellar Vinous Reverie NotesTasting Notes: Plush and pleasant, with aromas of red fruit and undergrowth on the nose. Supple, round, and delicate on the palate, with soft tannins and nice balance.

95 points Vinous"The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Aluigi Campo ai Peri is a terrific follow up to the stellar 2016. Rich, deep and explosive, the Aluigi saturates the palate with dark fruit, leather, tobacco, spice, menthol and espresso notes...

93 points Wine Spectator"Fleshy and laced with cherry, plum, eucalyptus and earth flavors, this red is balanced, solidly built and long. Lively, with an aftertaste infused with cherry, currant, mineral and leafy accents. Best from 2025." Vinous Reverie...

93 points Decanter"Deep, rich and ripe with a focussed peach nose. Textured, creamy and yet fresh with telling acidity ensuring overall poise. Convincing finish too. Lovely!" 92 points Wine Advocate"Ripe tropical fruit aromas dominate the nose of...

92 points Wine Advocate"The intensely varietal 2020 Carmenere was produced with grapes from a vineyard in San Vicente in Cachapoal. It has notes of freshly cracked peppercorns, paprika, herbs and smoke, with good ripeness, 14.5% alcohol and good...

93 points Wine Advocate"Unwinding in the glass with scents of peach, pear and orange zest mingled with white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, exhibiting impressive...

95 points James Suckling"A very sophisticated Chassagne-Montrachet. Less aromatically extravagant than most of the 2019 white Burgundies, this opens slowly as it aerates in the glass. So many nuances of white fruit and jasmine. Ripe and rich, but very...

95 points Jasper Morris"Pale lemon yellow. The bouquet is noticeably more developed than Fourchaumes in an engaging soft woolly style of white fruit. There is a noticeably greater intensity of fruit here, along with a more defined acidity and, I suspect,...

96 points Decanter"Made from 70-year-old vines, a small part of the blend was matured in old casks, the rest in vats. This is powerful, complex, but also refined and understated. Crisp, vibrant acidity, subtle wood notes and a long, lingering, mineral...
