Extremely fragrant and floral, peaches, pears and wild flowers. Juicy and alive, gorgeous creamy, almost oily elements of peaches and pears with vanilla and honeysuckle. Some delicious grapefruit bitterness that nicely counters the juiciness and rich texture. Moutbnwateing, clean, fragrant, so long and so easy to drink with some bitterness. A wonderful addition to La Place this year form the family-owned domaine with this tiny production, selection from 10ha of top parcels in the appellation.

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Thieuley shows an elegant, more complex bouquet than its 2018 counterpart, exhibiting aromas of dark berries, pencil lead, licorice and menthol, followed by a medium to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping palate that’s framed by powdery tannins. Seamless and already nicely integrated, this vintage can be approached with pleasure, even if has four or five year of evolution ahead of it.

Bright and seductive, this pinot offers fresh cherries, crushed wild berries, violets, wet rocks and subtle spices on the nose. Racy and mouthwatering, with spicy and minerally tension, it has a medium body, a dusty texture to its tannins and a lingering and racy finish. Focused and very precise. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve opens with aromas of raspberry liqueur, mocha, floral perfume, and savory notes of fresh sage. Medium-bodied, it offers ripe, detailed tannins, balanced acidity, and a long finish. While this vintage hints at opulence, the wine remains beautifully balanced and refreshing. It’s a stunning introduction to the vintage and a benchmark for the region as an appellation wine. Drink 2025-2040.

The pale red 2023 Dr. Bruno Clarete Baga was produced with grapes from 25-year-old vines in Vilarinho do Bairro as a collaboration with Bairrada producer Quinta da Lagoa Velha, fermented and aged exclusively in concrete. It has a perfumed nose with shy notes of dry roses and tar, varietal, expressive and clean. It's medium-bodied and has contained ripeness and 12% alcohol. It's tasty, has very fine tannins and is surprisingly elegant and highly drinkable. It took me to Piamonte... 4,000 bottles produced.

This Brut shows lemon and sweet Wonder Bread aromas on the nose. The palate starts frothy but quickly mellows, and carries ripe lemon and white peach flavors to the sweet bread and citrus finish. — Fiona Adams

The 2019 Syrah Coastview Vineyard - Terraces is fabulous. Racy and sleek, the 2019 is endowed with serious depth. Dark fruit, leather, incense, tobacco, mocha, lavender and dried herbs are all amplified in this big, bold Syrah from Big Basin. There's so much to like.

Ripe black fruits, pepper, leather, and spring flower notes all emerge from the 2019 Syrah Coastview Vineyard Terraces, a hidden gem of a Syrah that has more than a passing resemblance to a great Côte Rôtie. Medium to full-bodied, balanced, with a great mid-palate and ripe tannins, it's one of the standouts in this lineup. It will unquestionably evolve for 10-15 years.

Focused herbal, wild black fruit and tobacco nose. The youthful palate is poised and approachable with a soft texture, high tannins and brisk acidity. It has an intensity of flavour in the mouth and an energetic, impressively long, finish. A very accomplished expression of Graciano. The value here is superb!
