94 points Wine Enthusiast"A tight, young wine with tannins and structure still firmly intact, this offers great potential. It has smoky richness, with black fruits in the background ready to move forward. It shows weight, density and needs to age for...

95 points Wine Advocate"Chiefly (90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel`s 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2020 Hermitage Les Rocoules Blanc brings more richness and depth, with a similar quince, honeysuckle, green almond, and brioche-driven bouquet. It's a powerhouse on the palate and is full-bodied, deep, opulent, and viscous, with...

95 points Wine Spectator"This has good concentration and energy to the dense core of dark fruit and bitter cherry, with great poise and elegance despite its ripeness (an impressive feat for the vintage). Guided by finely crushed mineral accents and...

96 points Decanter"Good sense of weight, volume and depth here. The acidity is marked and nicely integrated, as is the alcohol and the oak for that matter - a harmonious, though certainly a sizeable and mighty wine. Concentrated, intense and long, with a...

98+ points Wine Advocate"The beautifully proportioned 2018 Hermitage La Chapelle comes across as a complex, complete version of this renowned bottling, with no rough edges—just moderate spice, cassis, red berries and cedar on the nose. It's medium...

94 points Vinous"The 2017 Fiano di Avellino Stilema opens slowly, unwinding with dusty dried flowers, crushed oyster shells and incense giving way to young peaches and hints of exotic spice. This soothes with silken textures and ripe stone fruits, as...

95 points James Suckling"Black cherries and flowers, such as roses on the nose. Medium to full body with firm, silky tannins and a clear finish. Very al dente. Drink after 2027."94 points Decanter"This Brunello is an assemblage of plots in two...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Almost always one of the top wines in any vintage, the 2001 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is no exception. A blend of 85% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and the rest a blend of Mourvèdre and assorted...

92 points Wine Spectator"This is full of pure black cherry and blackberry flavors, polished and packaged in toasty, spicy oak. Vibrant, firming up on the mineral-tinged finish. Best from 2022 through 2035. 278 cases made, 10 cases imported." 91 points...

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...

94 points Decanter"With an average annual production of 200,000 bottles, Castello di Montsanto’s Riserva is the flagbearer of the winery, and in some vintages there are five bottles of Riserva produced to just one bottle of annata. Opening flecks...
