A youthful saturated red/ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Bricco Boschis leaps from the glass with tangy aromas of sour cherries, orange peel, clove (it smells like heffeweisen), and dried earth. The palate is lovely, revealing a refined structure, ripe, velvety tannins, and a pure core of concentration with a ripe yet weightless feel. It has good depth and remains fresh, and its structure lasts long on the finish, but so does its fruit. I liked the palate more than the nose at this stage, and it’s likely going to improve with time in bottle over the next 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2040.

"The non-vintage Light Manzanilla Papirusa Solera Reserva (with an average age of five years in this solera) possesses an extraordinary, penetrating nose of salty brined nuts intermixed with crisp fruit, terrific acidity and intense, powerful, authoritative flavors that are ethereal in their lightness."

"The NV 40 Year Old Tawny Port was bottled with a bar top cork in 2014. It comes in with 125 grams per liter of residual sugar. Big, weighty and mouth filling, this is an aromatic Tawny that finishes with acidity and tension. Gripping on the finish, its flavors become more interesting as long as it sits in the glass (or on your palate). It is not, perhaps, as sunny as the Fonseca, its sibling reviewed this issue, but it is denser and more gripping. Comparing to the Taylor 30 (also reviewed), I'm not sure I liked the 40 here all that much better. The 30 is a bit fleshier while this 40 is a bit more concentrated in flavor and aromatics. Perhaps some additional age also helped this 40 combat some of the aggression on the 30. They are both pretty fine, a difference of five to Midnight and five after, rather than night and day. It is still a fine experience and my favorite of the group. Don't drink it too warm. Room temperature is mostly too warm. The sweet spot for most tends to be 58-62 degrees Fahrenheit."

"A superb wine, elegance and weight combined magisterially. It has all the right mature flavors, ripe fruit, intense marmalade and concentration. This is a wine with a great reputation, and the taste doesn't let that reputation down. Imported by Kobrand."

Racked to tank in late September. Mid purple colour, a certain energy, then a straw aspect to the nose, otherwise quite typical gamay. Strawberry fruit, slighter than usual but has retained purity with good acidity. Honourable result. Drink from 2024-2026.

"Honeyed mirabelle plum and toasted filbert aromas make a fetching pair. Lemon shaved ice and fresh basil flavors are equally refreshing. Decent acidity, with some midpalate weight. -MA"

90 Wine Spectator

A supple, medium-bodied white, with appealing apple, pear and creamy spice flavors. Drink now.

The 2022 Syrah Santa Barbara County is scented of cassis, blueberries, warm chocolate, forest floor, lavender and iron. The full-bodied palate features powerful, floral fruit supported by soft, approachable tannins and bursts of mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, fragrant finish. It's dangerously easy to drink without sacrificing nuance or complexity. 3,000 cases were produced.

93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Quite a reserved nose with some dried tree bark, porcini mushrooms and sandalwood overlaid on the ripe cherries and plums. Quite juicy on the medium- to full-bodied palate framed by tight and nicely chewy tannins. Long and complex finish with a slightly old-fashioned and traditional nuance that shows excellent tertiary complexity. 57% cabernet sauvignon and 43% malbec. Vegan. Complete to enjoy now, but will continue to evolve in the next two to four years.

93 Wine Enthusiast

Generous flavors of boysenberry, plum, spiced cocoa and vanilla bean are carried on a structure of succulent tannins and persistent, mouthwatering acidity that invites another sip. This wine includes hints of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot to enhance aromatic freshness

94 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

The 2021 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the 1936-planted Zingla Vineyard in Jumilla. Aged for 23 months in French and American oak, this garnet-hued wine offers complex aromas of herbs and plums, complemented notes of mint, balsamic and ash. Concentrated and rich on the palate, it flows with a silky texture, culminating in a velvety finish. This is a ripe, sun-kissed red with a precisely executed barrel-aging regimen.

90 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"Very bright and refreshing with cranberry, hibiscus and cherry aromas and flavors with some citrus. Medium body. Crisp and vivid. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap."

94 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"This wine plays the role of the classic Barolo release, or the "annata" (vintage) wine if you prefer. With the white label, the Parusso 2019 Barolo Perarmando is dedicated to the man who founded this family-run estate in 1971. Armando's blend (with fruit from Bussia, Mosconi and Mariondino) shows some of the tighter or more astringent aromas that come from the stems and the skins of the Nebbiolo grape. You also get a lot of the pulpiness too with bold cherry and dried blackberry aromas. Those come on the heels of grilled herb and dark licorice. This is a production of 25,000 bottles annually."

91 Wine Spectator

This red exudes eucalyptus, pine, juniper and toasty oak flavors. The fruit component takes a back seat, yet this feels supple until the firm grip emerges on the finish. Best from 2027 through 2043. 2,040 cases made, 500 cases imported.

92 Allen Meadows - Burghound

"While there is visible wood treatment it is much more discreet and already well-integrated into the equally fresh, complex and appealing aromas of plum, cassis and pungent earth. The muscular, concentrated and very serious middle weight plus flavors coat the mouth with dry extract that also helps to buffer the markedly firm tannic spine shaping the rustic, youthfully austere and saline-infused finish. This is textbook Valozières."

17 Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages

"Mid crimson. Sweet and rich in dark fruit on the nose. Then dark and savoury on the palate, almost charry. The complete opposite of sweet but not severe. Firm, dry tannins and absolutely needs food but there’s fruit at the core to soften the severity of the structure. Needs time but it’s all in place."

91 Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com

The base 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is pretty, with a medium-bodied, elegant style as well as lots of sappy herbs, flowers, and currant-driven aromatics, fine tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. Drink this balanced, satisfying, old school Cabernet over the coming 10-12 years or so. This Cuv e spent 18 months in 50% new oak.

91 Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Corison fans should enjoy the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon. Gentle herbal streaks run through the wine's classic black cherries and cassis fruit. Medium-bodied, sleek and streamlined, it shows vibrant energy and ample length, framed by gentle, silky tannins.

90 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a heady, potent wine that shows the heat of the year in its forward, opulent personality. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, chocolate, herbs, earthiness, and licorice are all amplified in this decidedly exuberant, potent wine. There's not a lot of subtlety, and plenty of impact. Even so, this opens nicely with aeration.
