The 2022 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is light and fine, with a delicate array of cherry, strawberry, red apple and freshly pressed linen notes. Woven throughout is sweet tobacco, graphite, white tea and finely ground pink peppercorns. In the mouth, the acidity works with the tannins to penetrate the palate with flavour, and it has an ethereal quality to it, which marks it as distinctly different from the Sauvage Pinot Noir. This is an eminently pretty Pinot Noir and comes highly recommended.

Perfumed and fragrant aromas of dark cherries, blackberry bushes, spices, wet bark and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of red currants, wild raspberries, citrus peel and lead pencil. Refined and pure with an underlying power and tension”

95 Wine Spectator

A stunning red, offering an aromatic and expressive mix of blueberry, raspberry and maraschino cherry, along with notes of dried rose petal, sandalwood and toasted cumin seed, plus a touch of fresh mint. Plush and velvety, with details of black walnut liqueur, white pepper and palo santo that linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2039.

This steel-fermented wine offers good acidity and refreshing qualities without an excess of buttery, toasty elements from oak barrels. It was aged on the lees for a nuanced, toasty, minerally effect and is generous in tangy apple, pineapple and lime zest flavors. Drink now.

Light and open. Soft and sweetish. Could do with more weight. Light bitterness on the end. (JR)

93 Georgina Hindle - Decanter

Chewy and fleshy but ripe and juicy too, a good combination that really fills the mouth all the while staying sleek and finessed. I like this expression, great definition and detail while still being really enjoyable. It has structure and power with clearly ripe fruit and fleshy tannins. Grippy and with plenty of personality. Organic. Tasted twice.

This has fragrant honeysuckle and herb undertones to the apricot and grapefruit aromas. It’s a medium-bodied, fresh expression of viognier. Vegan. Drink now.

The 2022 Carménère Clos del Luz Massal 1945 is sourced from an old vineyard planted in Almahue in the Cachapoal Valley. Garnet in hue, it features aromas of plums and white pepper along with a faint green bell pepper note. Indulgent and rich, the ample and juicy palate finishes with a note of black tea. This infusion-like red showcases a clever take on the variety, offering a light yet flavorful palate.

A fresh, sleek and fragrant carmenere that has red cherries, red plums, bay leaves and fresh herbs on the nose. Some anise, too. Medium-bodied, bright and deliciously herbal, with tight tannins. Drink or hold.

92 Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

"Always a reliable name, this has tight tannins but shows clear finesse even at this early stage, with plenty of Médoc signature. Restrained but juicy cassis and blueberry fruits, this is well balanced and easy to recommend. A joint project of consultants Edouard Massie, Henri Boyer, Antoine Médeville, Emilien Delalande and Thomas Marquant, located in the commune of Saint Yzans du Médoc, certified HVE3 and Terra Vitis."

"This is very perfumed with fresh flowers and sweet berries on the nose. It's medium-bodied with creamy, polished tannins and a linear finish. Thought-provoking with finesse. Try after 2023."

I evidently underestimated the 2019 Fleur la Mothe when I reviewed it from bottle earlier this year, as the wine is performing outstandingly today. Offering up aromas of cassis, ripe berries, sweet soil tones and cigar wrapper, it's medium-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with powdery tannins and an attractive core of fruit. A sleeper of the vintage, it offers a broad drinking window—and great value.

91 Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2019 Fleur La Mothe has retained the well-defined, focused bouquet of cedar-infused black fruit that gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and still that stony note infusing the black fruit. The "cool" finish lingers in the mouth. Excellent."

90 Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

"The 2019 Fleur La Mothe is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out of the glass with notes of Morello cherries and black raspberries with a core of cassis, cedar, and violets. The medium-bodied palate is skillfully crafted with plush tannins and a lively backbone supporting the elegant fruit, finishing perfumed."

93 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

A savory herbal tinge opens the stage for the 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva as notes of wild strawberry and floral underbrush fill out the bouquet. Lean and mean, yet balanced, this splashes across the palate with depths of tart cherry and blackberry as a saline mineral concentration adds form toward the close. Still tannic despite its late release, the 2020 leaves the senses reeling with youthful poise as nuances of exotic spice linger on. Have patience here, or if drinking today, give this a healthy decant. 

96 Aldo Fiordelli - Senior Editor - JamesSuckling.com

"Restrained fruitiness with aromas of raspberries and earth, alongside a complex spicy blend of freshly ground black pepper, milk, mint, bay leaf and cocoa powder. Very youthful. Full-bodied, dense and balanced, with savory flavors of chocolate and cherries, super-tasty style, tight, chalky yet ripe tannins and a fresh, cleansing acidity. Toasty finish. Drinkable now, but best in a year or two."

90 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2020 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Ca' del Laito has an enticing bouquet that combines sweet sage and lavender with allspice, clove and dried black cherry. It is soothingly round and pliant, with juicy acidity and bright red berry fruit offset by a twang of sour citrus. Long yet incredibly fresh, the 2020 tapers off with rosy inner florals and a hint of nectarine, which I find wildly attractive.

90 Wine Spectator

Snappy and fan-friendly, with lively flavors of cherry, pomegranate and tarragon that end with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032. 29,000 cases made.
