"The 2021 Pinot Noir Homer Shea Vineyard is seductively spicy in character, with depths of woodland berries, cloves, star anise and cedar shavings forming its alluring bouquet. This is a model of elegance: a dense wave of ripe red fruits and spices is effortlessly lifted by brilliant acidity, and a primary staining slowly saturates the palate toward the close. The Homer finishes classically dry and crunchy, structured yet fresh and balanced for a long, steady evolution. While already a pleasure due to its beautifully integrated oak (43% new), the real magic will come forward with maturity."

91 Clive Pursehouse - Decanter Magazine

"A barrel selection sourced from the best 10 barrels in a given vintage. The aromatics are rich and ripe. Notes of dried fig, kirsch and blackberry compote follow notes of dried violet and crushed stone. The palate is rich and powerful. Crushed basalt minerality is met with ripe blackberry, Italian plum and black cherry. Notes of espresso bean and rich dark chocolate follow. There is structure and power rather than finesse, chewy tannin and ample oak influence. The finish trails off."

Tasted blind. Very inviting nose with almond kernel, apricot, peach and mealy notes. A core of zippy freshness, bergamot and apricot and a moderate finish – plenty to enjoy here! (AC)

"Scented and elegant nose of fresh roses, stones and grapefruit. Bone dry and gastronomic in style, with a medium body and a subtle, medium-long finish. Drink now. Screw cap."

A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Vinified in truncated tanks. Aged in concrete tanks for eight months and truncated tanks for 12 months. Tank sample. Tasted blind. Very attractive nose with crushed, soft red fruits, spice and garrigue. The palate is juicy, with leather, black tea and very noticeable alcohol. There is a streak of toasty oak on the finish. Rounded, heady and dense and, when the oak integrates, it will be very pretty. (AC)

Made up of Mitans and Pitures, though with part of Mitans pulled out. Fresh middling purple. The nose is quite discreet, and certainly better balanced, with a spicy peppery note to the fruit at the back of the palate, with good acidity. A refined and stylish Volnay 1er Cru that shows the benefit of years of biodynamic farming in its finesse. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024.

Mid-deep tawny amber. Woody, toasty, hazelnuts and some smoke – mostly barrel aromatics. Vibrant acidity lifts the fully-sweet palate, with cooked citrus and strawberry fruit. Spicy, cinnamon, hazelnut and dark chocolate, with just some spirity warmth detracting. A fine 20 Year Old, nevertheless. (TJ)

87 Jasper Morris, MW - Inside Burgundy

Pale colour, a classical Aligoté bouquet with its slightly acrid grape skins. What has changed is the degree of flesh in the middle of the mouth and the ripeness of the finish. Some lemon and orange blossom notes are now more prevalent than lime. Otherwise, baked apple. In bottle. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted Nov 2024.

89 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is a pretty dense, heady wine. Kirsch, blood orange, pomegranate and spice fill out the layers. Potent tannins wrap it all together. This is far from an easygoing Langhe Nebbiolo, that much is certain."
