The 2020 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding Gattinara. Black cherry, plum, licorice, crushed rocks, lavender and spice all race across the palate. A wine of somber intensity, the 2020 is built for the long haul. Deep and beguiling, firm tannins enshroud the long, building finish. Drink: 2028-2050

Medium deep garnet with a ruby rim. Fragrant and complex nose, good intensity showing aromas of fine leather, tobacco, wild herbs, sweet cherry, plum and black pepper. Dense and concentrated palate with good proportions, young but ripe tannin and a refreshing backbone of acidity, layered spiciness, savoury fruit and a long lingering finish, great potential.

The 2020 Bandol is a gorgeous rendition from Château Pradeaux, bursting from the glass with pronounced and highly complex notes of molten stems, wild strawberry, licorice and blackcurrant leaf. Made from 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, the 2020 is medium-bodied yet remarkably vivid, with the whole bunch integrated beautifully and the tannins already rounded into a lovely, textural shape. There is tremendous energy. The 2020 finishes long, fresh and full of beguiling verve, leaving a lasting impression of character and finesse.

A bit more dark fruit and depth compared with the more expressive La Sonsierra. Black cherries, black pepper, dried herbs, ink and dark minerals. Vertical and bright, with a full body and lots of chalky tannins. Deep and structured. 85% tempranillo, 10% garnacha and 5% white varieties. Around 25% whole clusters. Drink or hold.

I also tasted the 2022 Viñedos en Labastida. The wines are produced in a similar way to highlight the differences of the places and vintages. In 2022, it's a similar blend of different plots with some 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha and 5% white grapes, and it had a similar vinification and élevage in 500- and 600-liter oak foudres in their cave. It's very primary and fruit-driven, with a nose of ripe berries and herbs, a lactic twist and a fine thread in the palate, with surprisingly fine tannins for a 2022. 3,600 bottles were filled in September 2023.

"DWWA 2026 Silver Medal: Rich, ripe style with peaches and cream on the nose. A complex palate with notes of rocket, bay leaf and grapefruit."

"The Alpha Estate 2025 Malagouzia Turtles Single Vineyard is delicately floral and bright, with notes of stone fruit, honeydew melon and exotic white flowers that vaguely recall jasmine and plumeria. This unoaked wine is firm and fresh, with a mineral edge that adds zest, energy and a glossy texture. The Turtles vineyard benefits from sandy clay soils over limestone and cool mountain influences that help preserve aromatic lift and freshness. Aged on the fine lees for two months with regular stirring, the wine maintains varietal purity while gaining subtle texture. Produced in 300,000 bottles, this is a charming and accessible expression of Malagouzia, a Greek grape that enjoys enormous popularity at local tavernas, where baked feta and grilled vegetables emerge from the kitchen in the hands of frenzied waiters balancing trays overhead."

Full bottle 1,376 g. Sand and sandy clay over limestone at 620–710 m. Hand-harvested 10 September. Destemming, optical grape sorting and light crushing. Skin contact, controlled alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks with cooling jackets, kept on lees for two months with regular stirring. TA 5.82 g, pH 3.51. Vegan. Sweetly aromatic though it is a dry wine: yellow fruit, stone fruit and floral with just a hint of almonds. Seems particularly perfumed in this vintage though it is always an aromatic variety. Almost tropical on the palate, peaches and cream, the intense aroma rescued by decent – just enough – acidity and a very very slight bitterness on the finish. An extremely aromatic wine from Alpha in 2025. Might make it a harder food match but easy to drink on its own if you like floral and sweet-fruited dry wines. Rich and mouth-filling but not my favourite style of Malagousia. Best drunk young. Julia Harding MW

90 Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

"Chocolate, plums, and cherries, along with licorice and smoky flavors, are prominent here, both in the perfume and on the medium-bodied, round, soft-textured palate. Produced from 95% Merlot, with the remainder coming from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this succulent, flavorful wine is ready to enjoy as soon as it hits your store. One of the best-priced wines from Bordeaux, it retails for under $20! Drink from 2025-2029."

The just-bottled 2024 Phyllit Sauvignon Blanc is pure, fresh, crystalline and saline on the elegant and laser-precise nose that intermingles bright stone and passion fruit with cumin and saline notes of crushed slate. Round and intense on the palate, this is a medium- to full-bodied, juicy and textural Sauvignon with fine tannins and a certain power on the finish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in April 2025.

96 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Earth, tobacco and floral aromas. Medium- to full-bodied and polished, showing dark fruit, a vibrant profile and lovely balance. Enjoyable now with aeration, but suitable for further aging. Drink or hold. 10 Years On retrospective." - Jacobo García Andrade

93 James Suckling - Wine Spectator

Super-vibrant nose of green apples, lime and yellow grapefruit zest plus a touch of fresh garden herbs. Very sleek with a grapefruit acidity that some may find challenging, but which really excites us, because it’s wedded to plenty of zesty fruit. Makes just 10.5% alcohol work really well. Drink or hold.

98 Luca Gardini - GardiniNotes.com

Long oak wood refinement for the label-symbol of the house project. Dogwood, yellowcurrant and tangerine in olfaction, puffs of chamomile and dehydrated thyme, then juniper. To the juicy and savoury sip, with memories of flowers and red fruits.

The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino comes from a warm but not extreme growing season, helped by timely rain and a normal harvest window. It pours a deep ruby red hue and opens with black raspberries, violets, fresh earth, licorice, and rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it feels more vertical and energetic than the 2020, with a bright spine of acidity, well-defined tannins, and a long, focused finish that stays light on its feet. Drink 2026-2040.

95 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is an understated beauty, mixing dusty rose and lavender with shavings of blood orange and black cherries. It is surprisingly juicy yet elegant and refined, as ripe wild berry fruits slowly drench the palate in primary concentration. Structured and dramatically long, the 2021 finishes spicy and intense with nuances of citrus, clove and licorice. The complexity here is off the charts and the energy is incredible.
