Fresh and zesty, showing breadth and depth with citrus and spiced apple tones, the 2022 Clara Sauvignon Blanc is focused, complex and bright. Medium to full-bodied, the Sauvignon Blanc displays fantastic weight, with a round and spicy mouthfeel. Flavors of Marcona almond with nuances of dusty florals and Meyer lemon sway with a delightful mineral tension. Made from only free-run juice, the Sauvignon Blanc is naturally fermented in neutral oak before resting for nine months in a combination of old French and acacia barrels. Nicely done!

The 2023 Guigne-Chèvres is a powerful, tender style with a delicious, chalky texture. This is fine, round and long.

Ripe red berry, truffle, ground clove, violet and camphor aromas take center stage on the fantastic Olek Bondonio Roncaglette. The smooth, utterly delicious palate doles out ripe Marasca cherry, pomegranate, licorice and vanilla before an orange zest close. Velvety tannins offer polished support. Drink 2027–2034.

A perfect Yquem again after the 2021, which is fresher and more refined than the 2022. The perception of sweetness is super-knit. Lots of botrytis, with turmeric, saffron, cream, roasted meringue, pine nuts, spices and dried mangoes. This is a powerful, seductive and lush wine. Ornamented and richer this year than 2021, but there is so much charm and harmony. Long and spicy, with a hint of petrol at the end. Wow. The second most concentrated Yquem after 1945, according to the winemaker. About 160 grams of residual sugar. So approachable now, but better in five or six years. It will live forever.

100 Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

That says a lot, considering all the fabulous vintages the estate has crafted. The palate showcases its wealth of honeyed fruits alongside Indian spices and a vibrancy found in no other sweet wine. The wine envelops your palate, teeth, and gums leaving you with a zesty finish that lingers for a full 60 seconds and more! This is a legend in the making! Like all great vintages of Chateau d'Yquem, you can enjoy this with pleasure in its youth, with its sweet, ripe fruits showcasing a unique sense of honeyed purity, or you can save it for your grandchildren. Drink from 2027-2100.

The 2022 Yquem is a blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc with 160 g/L residual sugar and a total acidity of 5.39 g/L. It is the first certified organic vintage for the estate and has the lowest level of total sulphur ever: 234 g/L, high within the sphere of wine but comparatively low for Sauternes. The 2022 was aged for 24 months in new barrels that underwent slightly less drying than those used for red wines in order to retain some green tannins. Given the growing season, the 2022 Yquem has a surprisingly understated bouquet that demands coaxing. Scents of orange pith, passion fruit and quince are exquisitely defined, a hint of chamomile dancing around in the background. The palate is medium-bodied. Given the high level of residual sugar, what is surprising is that the 2022 does not seem a weighty or texturally unctuous Yquem, yet there is an intensity and concentration that is arresting. Vivid flavours of clementine, wild honey, quince and tangerine that effortlessly combine. The acidity almost nonchalantly counters the sensation of residual sugar, so it feels less than it actually is, the scintilla of salinity toward the finish tempting you back for more. This is a marvellous and quite cerebral Yquem for which patience is required.

A blend of 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2022 d'Yquem is a strong candidate for the title of wine of the vintage. Exhibiting a remarkably delicate, complex and energetic bouquet of rose, confit citrus, exotic fruits and orange marmalade, it's full-bodied, dense and deep with a pristine balance enhanced by a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and beautiful, gastronomic bitterness and dry extracts that segue to a long, ethereal, delicately perfumed and refined finish. Lorenzo Pasquini and his team have perfectly understood the vintage by privileging the third tries, fully exposed to Botrytis cinerea, in the blend, bringing density and precision along with an energetic and splendidly balanced interplay of bitterness and sweetness. Residual sugar levels reach 160 grams per liter, marking it as the second-highest since the iconic 1945 vintage.

This is an unusual entry-level wine. The cool side of the peach notes makes itself very clearly felt, pulling you into a web of intense, slatey minerality. Very stony finish, although the acidity is moderate. Excellent aging potential. From vines up to 70 years old. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Aromas of lime preserves and dried apple rest on a foundation of sorghum and chrysanthemum in this solidly built Riesling. The palate is dense yet graceful as this elegantly coasts through the long finish, which deftly interlaces its savory and stone notes with bright fruit. Drink now through 2038. 60 cases imported.

Stone and orchard fruits jump from the glass, carried by vibrant acidity and a zingy lemon rind finish. A subtle pithy bitterness adds dimension to its bright and refreshing character. Perfect for a picnic spread of soft cheeses, olives, and crusty bread. — Jeff Porter

94 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Very savory and subtle, with leesy aromas alongside graceful strawberries, violet candies and a lot of cinnamon. Medium-bodied but not without weight, showing velvety tannins with tingling acidity. A surprisingly good, elegant nebbiolo. Drink now.

The 2007 White Port (Dalva) is basically a white Colheita and it pretty much leans to tawny in taste, too. Mostly a field blend, it emphasizes Malvasia Fina, Viosinho and Rabigato. It comes in at 117 grams per liter of residual sugar. Surprisingly rich for a young white, this is filled with caramel nuances. It is a beauty that is really easy to like and drink. Bright, fresh and utterly delicious, it delivers a great performance that easily overachieves at its young age.

Pouring a bright ruby red color, the 2022 Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté reveals a deeper, spicier profile. Notes of dark cherries, fresh tobacco, spiced earth, and gravelly soil reflect the greater clay content of this site. Medium to full-bodied, it moves into another gear on the palate, combining muscular depth with elegance. The tannins are ripe and seamless, and the finish is long and layered with mineral undertones. A superb expression of this vineyard, around 16,000 bottles were produced. Drink 2027-2047.

95 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2022 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè is terrific. Deeply pitched spice, menthol and pine overtones give the 2022 its characteristic balsamic notes. Pliant and deep, with stunning balance, the Casa Matè is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Polished, silky tannins and a burst of red-toned fruit punctuate the finish. This is sublime stuff.

The 2022 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard is bright, aromatic and penetrating, with terrific cut that drives right through the mid-palate and finish. Lemon confit, slate, crushed flowers and white pepper all race through the mouth. This taut, expressive Chardonnay has so much to offer. Gavin Chanin certainly got the most out of his fruit from I and L Blocks.

94+ Matthew Luczy - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Always one of the finer renditions of this site, the 2022 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Vineyard leads with a poised, focused nose that highlights this site's signature bouquet of white pepper set against a stony, citrus-curd backdrop. The palate combines floating precision with grounded depth, finishing with an intensely focused mineral spine supported by powerful dexterity. Given this wine's track record, it will reward a year or two in bottle and deliver a beautiful drinking experience over the next decade. Drink: 2024-2032

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity is mostly Howell Mountain fruit in this vintage, which elevates its quality but also makes it more difficult to enjoy young. Dark fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice power through this deep, forbidding wine. This big, brooding Cabernet is built for cellaring. Give it plenty of time in decanter before enjoying.

89 Wine Enthusiast

"Crisp, dry and full of red-currant fruits and tight acidity, this is a delicious, young Champagne. It is textured and zesty, with layer of acidity vying with the perfumed fruit. This bottling really should age, so drink it from 2019."

89 Wine Spectator

"Creamy, with honeyed flavors of passion fruit, guava and spice that show a hint of candle wax. There's good intensity to the acidity in this exuberant rosé, and it just balances the tropical overtones, with an off-dry, moderate finish. Drink now. -AN" (Reviewed 2012)

94 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Varietally expressive and enticing, showing blackcurrant, tobacco, clove and cedar aromas, followed by a splendidly weighted palate offering succulent fruit intensity with refined texture and finely pitched tannins. Wonderfully structured with harmony and persistency. At its best: now to 2034.
