2023 Cantina Surrau - Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Superiore Sciala (750ml)
2023 Quintarelli - Veneto Bianco IGT Secco Ca' del Merlo (750ml)
The Quintarelli Giuseppe 2023 Bianco Secco is a traditional blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Saorin. That fifth grape is the local name for Tocai or Friuliano, and as far as I know, only the Quintarelli family still r...
2020 San Felice Chianti Classico Riserva Il Grigio (750ml)
Bright and fruity, offering cherry, strawberry, rose and Mediterranean scrub flavors. Shows no shortage of structure, remaining balanced and long. Reveals tobacco and mineral elements on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2042. 26,700 cases made, 6,000 c...
2020 Guido Porro - Barolo DOCG Vigna Lazzairasco (750ml)
This is one of the most charming young Baroli I’ve enjoyed from Guido Porro in recent years. Incredibly succulent, with generous acidity and beautifully integrated tannins, the 2020 Vigna Lazzairasco is already an approachably grand rosso. Don’t hesitate to pop the cork today and pour it alongside a nice sage and butternut squash risotto or roast quail.

2023 Guido Porro - Langhe Nebbiolo Camilu (750ml)
For the times when an Italian red wine beckons, Porro’s Camilu will eagerly heed the call. Vibrancy and vigor are on full display in this bottling, which is made from Nebbiolo grown within the Barolo appellation but declassified to offer an early-drinking option for any weeknight. Fabio and his father, Guido, take their younger, high-yielding vines from the Lazzarito and esteemed Vigna Rionda crus to bottle promptly, capturing the bold and bright beauty of a youthful piemontese red from top sites.

2007 Monsanto - Vin Santo del Chianti Classico La Chimera (375ml)
2017 Monsanto - Nemo Toscana Rosso IGT (750ml)
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Nemo Vigna Il Mulino is a beautiful, expressive wine. Scorched earth, licorice, dried herbs, incense and tobacco bring out the savory side of Cabernet Sauvignon. Readers should expect a potent, tannic wine with a good deal o...
2024 Chateau Gruaud Larose St. Julien (Bordeaux Future ETA 2027)
The 2024 Gruaud Larose shows excellent potential, bursting with notes of cassis, pencil shavings, iris and violets. Medium to full-bodied, suave and seamless, it's ample and pure, with a precise, refined pro-life and good persistence on the finish. A blen...
2024 Chateau Lafite Rothschild - Pauillac (Bordeaux Future ETA 2027)
The 2024 Late-Rothschild is a sensual, elegant wine very much in the style of the year. Plush and enveloping, with lovely forward fruit, the 2024 is very Late, perhaps a bit reticent, but super-expressive just the same. Black cherry, pomegranate, bloo...
2024 Chateau Carruades Lafite - Pauillac (Bordeaux FUTURE ETA 2027)
2022 Domaine Mayard - Chateauneuf du Pape (750ml)
The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape exhales a deep, complex and gourmand bouquet of cherries, flowers, spices and red berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, textured and layered, sappy and enrobing palate with velvety tannins, seamless structure and an el...

2023 Quintodecimo - Greco di Tufo DOCG Jaune d'Arles (750ml)
Youthfully coy, the 2023 Giallo D'Arles opens with a delicately oral blend of young peaches, pears and hints of confectionary spice. This is silky-smooth yet lifted in feel, with a savory mix of white pit fruits and inner herbal tones that soothe the s...

2020 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Asili (750ml)
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is gorgeous. It oers a beguiling mix of intense fruit and supporting structure. A wine of depth and complexity, Asili has a lot of everything. It is clearly a step or two above many of the wines in this range. Today, t...
2020 Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo (750ml)
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rio Sordo is pretty closed today, which is probably a very good sign for its aging prospects, as this site tends to produce wines that are more open than this. Dark cherry, plum, leather, incense and tobacco oer a decidedly ...
2020 Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Rabaja (750ml)
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is another stellar wine in this range. Dark and explosive, the 2021 possesses notable richness to match its dark, brooding personality. Black cherry, plum, leather, cloves, menthol, licorice and gravel explode onto th...
2020 Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Muncagota (750ml)
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Muncagota comes across as somewhat austere today, which is pretty atypical. Floral, mint and white pepper lend notable aromatic brilliance. Deceptively medium in body, the 2020 oers plenty of drive. Floral, savory and minera...
2020 Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Montestefano (750ml)
The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is one of the most elegant, polished wines in this range. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and cedar are beautifully lifted. The tannins are remarkably polished for a young, recently bottled Ris...
2024 Chateau Pontet Canet - Pauillac (Bordeaux Future ETA 2027)
The 2024 Pontet-Canet underlines the fact that daring to harvest late paid dividends in this challenging vintage, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, black raspberries and plums mingled with accents of rose petals, licorice and exotic spices. Me...
