97 Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator

There's viscosity to this red despite its nimble profile along with detail harmony and length showing precise flavors of rose petal cherry currant licorice sandalwood and graphite focused by vivid acidity while refined tannins lurk underneath. Best from 2026 through 2047. 915 cases made.

The 2018 Barolo Pira is bright, focused and linear. A bit light and nervy, as wines are in this vintage, but also expressive. Tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and chamomile all grace this taut, nervy Barolo Pira. This is an especially ethereal Barolo. Very pretty, and it has plenty of drive.

Lastly, the 2022 Chardonnay 3D comes from a sandy, 10-acre vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills and was brought up all in neutral oak. Its medium gold hue is followed by a ripe, exotic perfume of honeyed stone fruits, orange blossom, chalk, flower oil, and brioche-like nuances. This beauty is medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and incredibly textured on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity, terrific mid-palate depth, and a finish that won't quit. Don't miss this beauty. 752 cases.

The super young and aromatic white 2023 Gaba do Xil O Barreiro comes from a warm year with an early harvest that delivered round and ripe wines like this one with 13.5% alcohol. It has notes of bay leaf and white flowers and is still a little reductive. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, where it matured for four months. The heat of the vintage is not obvious in the wine even though it's a little riper and rounder, with the character from the red soils in the zone of Larouco. It ends with a pleasant bitter twist in the finish. 97,007 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2024.

The white 2022 Ultreia Godello is a blend of five different plots, most of them in Cacabelos. It has a very expressive nose, with notes of yellow fruit, flowers and white pepper. It's round and fleshy, with moderate ripeness and alcohol (around 12.5%), a little balsamic with the tender mouthfeel from the riper year. It had different vinifications and élevages and comes through as complex and balanced, quite impressive for the year. 45,000 bottles produced.

The Fèlsina 2021 Fontalloro reveals an elegant bouquet with a streamlined character that delivers good intensity but never goes overboard. In fact, this vintage might be a little thinner than I remember past vintages being. But Sangiovese wears this slender style well and delivers lots of wild cherry and forest berry nuances along the way. You also get soft mineral tones and earthy iris root. This bottle should develop nicely with aging time in the cellar.

92 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

A heady mix of macerated cherries, dark chocolate and minty herbs waft up from the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena - gr..l. This is elegant and velvety on the palate. Exotic spice complicates a seamless wave of ripe red and black fruits. The 2018 lingers impossibly long and potent, leaving traces of bitter cocoa to resonate under an air of violet inner florals.

96 Wine Enthusiast

A 100% varietal wine from a mighty appellation, this is thickly concentrated in black fruit, with robust tannins and oak to carry it through. Specks of coconut and vanilla contrast against a sturdy wall of black pepper, iron and crushed rock, finishing with powerful intensity and length. Best from 2025–2035.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Full and enticing nose of dried pears, candied citrus and brioche. Quite generous and creamy on the front of the medium-bodied palate, then sleeker and more citrusy in the tangy finish. Bright, nicely integrated mousse. A complex cuvee of wines from 60% Coteaux Vitryats and 40% Vallee de la Marne, of which 50% is chardonnay, 35% pinot meunier and 15% pinot noir. Disgorged on February 1, 2024. Drink now.

The Casanova di Neri 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows thick fruit fabric with stitchings of underbrush, pressed rose, bright cherry, tobacco and balanced oak spice. This wine definitely has a special groove. It offers a ripe, round texture with good acidity followed by fine, chalky tannins. This is impressive quality for 109,600 bottles produced. In fact, this is one of the best village Brunellos from Giacomo Neri and his family made so far.
