From the slopes just west of Castillon, this is a ripe Merlot-dominated wine. A core of tannins and juicy acidity have combined into a savory wine that will be ready from 2023.

A ripe, juicy wine with fine tannins, this is developing well. Promise lies in the juicy black fruits allied to acidity and just the right amount of wood aging. Drink this stylish wine from 2025. — Roger Voss

"Entirely sourced from the high elevation ‘XL Vineyard’ in the Walla Walla Valley, the 2015 ‘Fianchetto’ was aged in 60% new French oak for 30 months and also saw two years of bottle age before release. The flavor density is outstanding considering the challenges that presented themselves in this exceedingly warm vintage, as ripe dark currants collide with cherry cordial, Earl Grey tea and exotic spices on the palate. Super refined and elegant, this has a long way to go. Drink 2021-2033"

"Dark red-ruby. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, dark raspberry, licorice and bitter chocolate complemented by sexy spicy oak tones. Fine-grained, very ripe and classically dry, combining serious alcoholic clout and surprising energy. Plush, concentrated red berry flavors are lifted by a floral element that's rare for such a ripe Bordeaux blend. This powerful wine finishes with broad, dusty tannins and serious sweetness. Constant wind at this site typically results in small, thick-skinned berries, and Naravane noted that the tannins here can easily get out of whack. He presses the wine before it's fully dry and allows the fermentation to finish in barrels. (15.3% alcohol; aged for 28 months in 80% new Tronçais oak; from SeVein vineyards)"

"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville explodes with bombastic notes of creme de cassis, black cherry preserves, and boysenberries giving way to nuances of cedar, graphite, and lavender oil. The full-bodied palate is jam packed with intense black and blue fruit layers supported by a solid line of firm grainy tannins and amazing tension, finishing long and with wonderful purity."

97 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"This is full of aromas of lead pencil, black berries and black currants. Deep and dark. Full to medium body, with juicy and layered tannins and a flavorful finish. Very grapey. Precise and focused. Real Coombsville character. Drinkable and will age beautifully."

97 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Coombsville, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, offers tons of nuance and Coombsville character. Savory and wonderfully deep, the 2021 captures all the pedigree of this great vintage. Lavender, crushed rocks, graphite and rose petals all run through this fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon."

The 2024 Langhe Freisa is especially fine. Thick skins and loose bunches were ideal in this rainy vintage. Deep and layered, with tons of energy, the Freisa is truly superb in 2024. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, game, licorice and dried herbs all come alive in the glass. Sweet spice and floral top notes resonate on the finish.

This young wine is impressively concentrated, tannic and tight at this stage of its development, but it carries the proper amount of dark fruit, dark chocolate and heady oak spices to gain complexity with age. The tannins are full and a bit edgy for current drinking. Best from 2029.

"Aromas of sour cherries, button mushrooms and prickly pears lead to a medium-bodied, slightly earthy palate with medium tannins. Drink in 2026."- Claire Nesbitt

97 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish. Drink of hold.

The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years.

96 Wine Spectator

There's a well-spiced, zesty edge to the flavors of glazed apple, mandarin orange peel, pink grapefruit pith and crème de cassis as they ride the finely detailed mousse of this fresh, focused Champagne. This vivid display is enriched by notes of canelé pastry, chopped almond, pastry cream, smoke and vanilla, all coming to the forefront through the midpalate and chiming on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2035.

The 2015 Dom Perignon pours a bright straw/yellow color and is expressive and layered on the nose with a tropical profile in its notes of cantaloupe, peach, fresh pastry, smokey wet stones, and orange blossoms. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a rounded and ripe but very well-detailed feel, with a soft, chalky texture. This was a very successful vintage for Dom Perignon, producing wines that retain a great deal of clarity and detail in this warm vintage. Drink over the coming 20 years.

96 J. D'Angelo - International Wine Report

The 2015 Dom Perignon is a beautiful showing marked by its finesse and vibrant character. It opens with a mesmerizing bouquet of lemon curd and green pear, intertwined with notes of orange zest, toasted brioche, crushed almonds, and hints of ginger and chalky minerality. The palate is impeccably balanced, showcasing a lively mousse and refreshing acidity that frames the rich flavors of citrus, orchard fruits, and subtle hazelnut. A touch of salinity adds depth, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of white flowers and flinty undertones. This vintage offers exceptional complexity now but also promises further refinement with some additional aging.

The 2022 Monthélie Rouge has a lifted well-defined bouquet with cranberry and wild strawberry quite ripe and fleshy without being overbearing. Just generous. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins. It?s extremely elegant with piquant red fruit and a little spice on the finish. What a superb Monthélie from Anne Morey. (Drink between 2024 - 2033).

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.
