The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Ceniza Vineyard comes from the cooler Coombsville region and offers a deep purple color as well as thrilling notes of ripe blueberries, black cherries, dark tobacco, and earth. It has wonderful purity on the palate and is medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, awesome overall balance, and one great finish. This seriously good juice will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and should have two decades of overall longevity, if not more.

The 2022 Fiano di Avellino is understated with white flowers, stone dust and nectarine. There’s a pretty inner sweetness up front that’s complicated by mineral-tinged acidity as crisp orchard fruits cascade throughout. This finishes with a salty flourish and lime nuances.

Cask sample. Notably blue colour. Sweet elderberry fruit. Quite assertive, and very slightly rustic but it wouldn’t disappoint anyone. Real earthy stuff. (JR)

"The 2022 Falanghina is incredibly pretty with a fresh blend of green melon, peach and confectionary spice. It’s soft-textured and soothing on the palate with mineral-laced orchard fruits and ginger hints. The 2022 finishes with admirable length and tension, with a green apple hint that gradually fades."

The Chiroubles cuvée reflects the team's unwavering dedication to the steep, sandy soils of the region. The 2022 Chiroubles unfolds with lush aromas of bramble fruits, tangy raspberries, cherries, hibiscus, Indian spices and dried herbs. While more introspective on the palate than on the nose, it possesses a stealthy demeanor, displaying concentration and agility with an energetic presence. Medium-bodied, it is buoyed by ripe acidity and fine-grained tannins that gently tease the cheeks, tied together with notes of spice and cracked peppercorns that lend additional piquancy.

The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Cras 1er Cru comes from vines planted the same year as the Les Resses with the same élevage, though here the soil is more calcaire. Hints of toffee apple on the nose, orchard fruit and orange blossom, perhaps missing the killer focus of the Les Resses at the moment. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, good depth with orange rind, sour lemon, grapefruit and light peachy notes towards the finish. The aromatics need to just step up their game to match what is a very fine palate.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bettinelli Sleeping Lady Vineyard comes skipping out of the glass with bright notes of kirsch, redcurrant jelly and blackcurrant preserves, giving way to a more serious earthy/savory undercurrent of smoked meats, crushed rocks and wild fungi. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers fantastic freshness to the densely laden red and black fruits, supported by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and savory.

The La Spinetta 2019 Barolo Garretti opens to a crisp, almost tart quality with red fruit, cassis, pomegranate and a hint of red apple. Those bright primary tones cede to spice and earthy mineral or baked clay. The wine is distinguished by a pretty hint of licorice root that cuts a line throughout the entire bouquet. The 2019 vintage shows extra finesse and structure to the palate. This is a 10,000-bottle release.

93 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2019 Barolo Vigneto Garretti is a wild, exotic wine. The aromatics alone are incredibly alluring. Kirsch, rosewater, hard candy and sweet spice all soar out of the glass. This racy, mid-weight Barolo is a real charmer. Best of all the 2019 will drink well right out of the gate.

From a château that consistently makes it into my personal cellar, the 2022 Château De Pez is terrific, with a floral, perfumed, complex style delivering ample cassis and riper black fruits, notes of chocolate, graphite, and licorice, full-bodied richness, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. Tasted on multiple occasions, it's a powerful wine from this team that stays beautifully balanced and elegant.

92-94 Neal Martin - Vinous Media

The 2022 Château de Pez (limited to 18,000 bottles due to hail damage in June) has a very pure nose with something of a Burgundian allure: a mélange of blue and black fruit, wilted violet and graphite borrowed from down in Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins. Exquisite balance and poise, very harmonious with an intense yet paradoxically tender finish. Bon vin. Tasted twice with consistent notes.

Austerity is your friend in an En Primeur sample as long as there is juice and fruit, and here you have both things in abundance. Brilliant wine, absolutely one to look out for, has steely minerality that offsets the plump fruit character and intense tannic structure, this is concentrated but understated, everthing in proportion. First time on the Place this year, as before it was sold via an exclusivity. First vintage with new cellar also. Tasted twice, this is a buy. 26hl/h yield, half of usual, 50% new oak for ageing.

91-93+ Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The Wine Independent

The 2022 de Pez, a blend of 59% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notions of baked black plums, blueberry preserves, and fruitcake jump from the glass, followed by hints of Chinese five spice and potpourri. The full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves layers, supported by firm, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and lifted. It will be aged for 18 months in 50% new oak. pH 3.8.

92-93 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Firm and linear red with a vivid and juicy dark-fruited core and fine, polished tannins. Medium-bodied. Mellow finish with some creaminess to it. Hints of crushed stones and walnut at the end.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

Polished nose of sandalwood, cloves, berries and walnuts. Firm and fine tannins, giving a sturdy yet elegant frame. Medium to full body. Drink from 2024.

"Even tasted from half-bottle, the 2017 Bandol still needs a few more years in the cellar to be at its best. A blend of 94% Mourvèdre and 6% Grenache, it's a deep, dark, richly tannic offering with intense notes of plum and cola and a pleasant, herb-laced dose of strawberries and redcurrants. Full-bodied and sturdy, it nevertheless turns silky and elegant on the long, licorice-tinged finish."

90 Wine Enthusiast

A fruity, juicy wine with soft tannins and bright red-berry flavors, this bubbles with energy and freshness. It will settle into a smoothly textured wine that should be ready to drink from 2023.
