“Ever so supple and laced with cherry, raspberry, rose, licorice and mineral flavors, this Barolo is complex, harmonious and long. It's as much about the silky texture as any of the other elements that make this so compelling. Superb length on the finish.”

"The 2019 Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni is imposing, grumbling up with a dark blend of dried black cherries, crushed plums, sage, allspice and sweet mint. This is texturally thrilling, velvety yet cooling, weighty yet spry, washing across the palate with polished red and black fruits and slowly building black-tea tannins. A menagerie of spices lingers along tobacco and blood orange nuances, finishing with tremendous length and concentration. The balance is absolutely fantastic. This is a stunning performance."

"The 2019 Collepiano is incredibly pretty, with a whiff of wild strawberries complemented by chalk dust and sweet tobacco. This is pure class, silky and round, with brisk acidity motivating an elegant wave of ripe red and black fruits. Its spice box of a finish is long, leaving a web of fine-grained tannins tugging at the palate yet failing to slow the 2019’s momentum. The Collepiano will require a bit of cellaring to show its best."

“Gooseberries, green mangoes and a hint of green herbs and fennel. Dry and creamy on the fresh, medium-bodied palate followed by an elegant finish.”

“A bright and juicy Rioja Crianza with some refined oak that adds a discreet creaminess to the vibrant red fruit. Plums, cherries and a hint of tobacco. Medium-bodied, with a juicy palate and a long, creamy finish, featuring bright red berries, cherries and vanilla at the end.”

“Blackberries and dark cherries, with some graphite and oyster shells on the nose. Full-bodied on the palate with tight yet fluffy tannins that caress the fruit. Juicy, pretty concentrated and long.”

"Aromas of pineapple and dried sage leaf pave the way for refreshing flavors of grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit and orange blossom. This nicely textured wine is bright from first sip through the finish."

"This forward and plump Sagrantino opens with juicy ripe black plums sprinkled with cracked black pepper, dried herbs and baking spices. The taut palate shows blackberry compote mixed with earthy spices, clove and dried flowers followed by well-defined tannins giving the wine a firm finish."

"White peaches, apricots and jasmine are on the nose with a spritz of lime that announces the coming citrus-soaked palate, where limes meet lemons and oranges before a salty, sanguine finish."

"Rich metallic and herbal notes on the nose match the opulent copper in the glass and the savory overtones of the palate, where pink grapefruit and blood orange find oregano and crushed volcanic stones but also a certain lushness despite the salty citric acidic backbone."

"Aromas of blackberry, cassis, and clove open the nose of this classic wine from Umbria. Firm and very structured, the wine's core is shaped by black-plum compote, with sweet spices, black pepper and dried thyme giving way to firm tannins and lifted acidity."

"Warmed pavement and garden hose give way to yellow peach and green apple on the nose before the palate gives more green apple, fresh and candied, before a salty, mineral finish.."

"This aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with fresh wildflowers, ginger, kafir lime zest, dried limes and stone fruit. The palate is energetic and lively with a distinct floral note mixed with candied citrus and bitter apricot finishing with a hint of wild mint."

“The nose is earthy and sanguine, with just-tilled soil aromas, coffee beans, cranberries and hibiscus. The palate turns juicier, adding strawberries and the slightly medicinal note of cherry syrup, contrasted by tightly wound tannins and a spicy finish. Sophisticated and elegant.”

“This Amarone gives aromas of black cherries, red cherries, and dried and fresh violets—a back-and-forth of freshness and richness that is truly exquisite. As it opens sweet and savory spices dance across the fruit with subtle hints of earth and coffee. Rich but with grace, the palate shows black plum but balances the lushness with vibrant acidity. Firm tannins from the oak will resolve in a few years.”

“Dense aromas of spiced black plum, violets, fig and espresso lift from the glass. The wine is polished and taut with fine tannins and well structured with present oak notes giving way to macerated black cherries, star anise, tobacco leaf and tilled earth.”

“This seamless, smooth and mouthfilling wine is packed with ripe fruit flavors and deftly accented with oak notes like vanilla, hazelnut and toast. It's rich in texture yet relatively light in body, encouraging flavors that mingle with a subtlety that asks for more sipping.”

"The nose offers a sweet and savory blend of strawberries and watermelon candy with cinnamon, chili pepper and pickling spices before the palate brings out more strawberry and watermelon but with a mineral edge and tannins that cling intensely."
