"The NV Brut Grand Rose is an absolutely delicious wine, particularly at the NV level. This is a serious rose, which is immediately evident in the wine’s dark hue and dense, full-bodied personality. Their wine possesses layers of candied Pinot fruit, all woven together in a rich, sensual style. This sweeping, large-scaled rose will offer its finest drinking at the dinner table. This is Lot 235066, disgorged November 6, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. This is a superb set of releases from Bara, arguably the most renowned grower in the village of Bouzy, where Pinot Noir reigns supreme."

This is super-classic Chablis with a lightly milky, cheesy nose and a firm, chalky texture. Fine spice, paper ream, wet seashells and pear swirl across the chiselled palate and into the refined finish. These are 39 year-old vines and the fruit sees exclusively stainless steel.

The 2020 Barolo Monprivato is without question one of the finest wines to emerge from these cellars in many years. Translucent and layered, with captivating textural depth, the 2020 is positively stellar. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper, blood orange and dried rose petal come alive in the glass. This statuesque Barolo simply has it all. It's great to see the Mascarello family making truly pedigreed wines once again. To find a Monprivato of this exceptionally high level, readers will have to go back to the 1989. That's how outstanding the 2020 is.

The nose of the 2020 Barolo Monprivato is highly expressive and perfumed with notes of wild strawberries, fresh cut fennel, springtime herbs, and wet stones. The palate is seamless and similar to 2018 in terms of its elegance, but this wine has more structure, well-defined, even tannins, and a bit more body through the mid-palate while still retaining a very approachable and joyful feel. This will be a wine with a wide window for enjoyment and is one of the highlights of this vintage for me. It offers so much pleasure now, and I anticipate it will continue to improve over the coming decades. Bravo. Drink 2026-2056.

"Very rich and elegant, this is loaded with flavors of dried apricot, butterscotch and white chocolate. The long and zesty finish is filed with smoke and toffee." —K.M.

Guava and papaya, lemongrass, and a squeeze of salted lime deliver a complex of palate stimulating and delicious flavor. Persistent, mouthwatering acidity carries a silken mouthfeel through a distinctive and refined Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is enjoyable now but will also continue to gain complexity in the bottle if held in cellar. Enjoy!

Camphor, rose, dark spice and forest berry aromas propel out of the glass on the intensely fragrant 2021 Rocche dell'Annunziata from Francesco Rinaldi. Showing pedigree and extreme elegance, the full-bodied, delicious palate boasts a weightless finesse, delivering layers of ripe Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, dried mint and star anise accompanied by present but refined tannins. A wonderful expression of this celebrated MGA in La Mora, it's well balanced, with bright acidity. What a beauty. Drink 2031–2046

Coming from 100% destemmed Grenache and the sandy soils of the Cristia lieu-dit, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is the clear winner in the lineup and a gorgeous wine that readers will love. Awesome notes of roasted garrigue, licorice, Provençal spice, and assorted red and black fruits all define the aromatics, and it's a deep, layered, full-bodied beauty revealing velvety tannins and a blockbuster finish. As with most 2022s, it’s already drinking brilliantly yet should evolve gracefully over the coming decade. There are 500 cases produced.
