Clear fresh mid purple, really classy nose despite a fractional pyrazine. Lovely suavity to the fruit which covers the structure and hides the pyrazine. The cherry side of strawberry, and the wood has really helped. Chapeau for 2021! Drink from now-2027.

This takes a few minutes to open up, then reveals raspberry and red plum flavors highlighted by anise and white pepper. Concludes with a refined, tightly focused accent. Drink now through 2031. 4,000 cases made.

"Very aromatic with loads of passion fruit and cement, as well as some grassy character. It’s medium-bodied with lots of fruit and a slightly off-dry sense to it, but it’s crisp and delicious. Tangy at the end. Drink now. Screw cap."

This has an amarone feel to it, at least on the nose, with spicy dried berries and that signature, heady feel. The full body, though, offers fresher currants and berries and a long finish, well supported by medium-grain tannins. Delicious. The real deal for ripasso. Drink now.

An earthy blend of blackberries, mint and cloves meets grounding notes of flowery underbrush and crushed rocks as the 2019 Aglianico del Vulture opens in the glass. This is youthfully backward upon entry yet deeply complex, with masses of dark red and black fruits braced by vibrant acidity. Hints of mocha and graphite slowly saturate. The 2019 is incredibly long and staining, with fine-grained tannins and a tinge of sour citrus and currants. A resonance of dark chocolate lingers on the finish. The potential here is remarkably high; the 2019 possesses a balance and complexity that will reward cellaring. This is a serious Aglianico del Vulture.

Generous and expressive, the latest rendition of Vilmart's NV Brut Premier Cru Cuvée Rubis is showing very well, bursting with aromas of red berries, plums, blood orange and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a sapid core of fruit, a pillowy mousse and a lively, delicately phenolic finish, it's already drinking well. This is based on the 2017 vintage, with reserve wines from the 2016 and 2015 vintages, and it was disgorged with nine grams per liter dosage.

The Figli Luigi Oddero 2019 Barbaresco Rombone is tight and streamlined with typical Nebbiolo aromas that reveal themselves slowly as the wine begins to open. The wine's intensity remains moderate throughout, and this softer approach works well to enhance the more delicate and nuanced sides of this mighty red grape from Piedmont.

Cherry and raspberry fruit is augmented with floral, tar and eucalyptus notes in this lithe yet dense red. A coating of moderate tannins lines the lingering finish. Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Drink now through 2028. 25,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported.

94 Wine Enthusiast

This inviting, chocolaty wine is super-soft in mouthfeel at first, due to a full body and resolved tannins. But the tannins firm up on the finish to reveal a structure that can help it age well. Milk chocolate, blueberries and mint bring a lot of flavor. Blended from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Malbec. Best from 2026.

93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Perfumed aromas of tile, blackberry, bark, earth and pine needles follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins and a lovely savory finish. The balance and drinkability is really right. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 10% malbec. First release. Drink or hold

91 Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Finely boned, gentle charcoal, grilled peppers, and spiced black fruits. The Malbec makes a clear impact, and this has depth and character. There is a clear desire to deliver a wine that reflects a European sensibility, and although the intensity of the 2020 vintage comes through, you can drink this now with a good carafe. Justine Labbé winemaker, Frederick Ammons consultant, 40% new oak. Harvest September 9 to October 3, 37hl/h yield.
