(12/2017) "One of the stars of the vintage, the 2015 Troplong Mondot has come together beautifully over the last year and half. Rich and sumptuous to the core, it is a classic wine from this property, built on serious fruit density and textural richness. Dark red cherry, plum, chocolate, new leather and spice are some of the many notes that build as the 2015 shows off its irrepressible personality. A viscerally exciting, resonant wine, it just needs a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Tasted two times. Drinking window: 2025 - 2040."

(8/16/2019) "The 2017 Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is another killer effort from this estate. Coming from the La Janasse and La Crau lieux-dits and brought up in foudre, its deep purple color is followed by blockbuster notes of creme de cassis, blackberries, chocolate, graphite, and earthy, rocky, mineral-like nuances. It's deep and full-bodied, with a ripe, powerful yet balanced style and a great finish. A classic example of this cuvee. it's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for two decades or more. Maturity: 2023 - 2043"

Bodegas El Nido "Clio" Jumilla 2018
As with previous vintages of this hedonistic beauty, the 2018 Clio is a blend of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 24 months in premium French and American oak. Powering out a concentrated energy that is near impossible to find elsewhere for this price, the 2018 Clio redefines what it means to overdeliver. The 2018 Clio pours its trademark glass-staining purple and immediately erupts with gobs of dark fruit and underlying smokiness. Look for massive flavors of blackberry jam, ripe black cherry, blueberry compote, smoky maple bacon, cigar box, mocha and vanilla to explode on your palate, along with an entire cabinet of baking spices. The finish is long and clean, with a burst of minerality as wave after wave of silky tannins wash over your palate. Plush and impeccably balanced, the 2018 Clio is a pure masterpiece.

Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre 2019
92+
Our Score
(11/2020) Incredibly dense and rich on the palate with spine-tingling acidity, the 2019 vintage of this long-time Vin Chicago favorite is the best we've tasted in several years. The glass greets you with fleshy tangerine, tense nectarine, grapefruit pith and tropical guava. The lively and energetic mouthfeel is highlighted by chalky grip and silver stone minerality which flows through the long finish. A complex and perfectly complete premium Sancerre to enjoy anytime.

(11/30/2017) "Moving to the red and made from 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Chateau D'Aiguilhe is also brilliant and well worth seeking out. Sporting a vibrant ruby/purple color as well as gorgeous notes of black raspberries and blue fruits, violates, bouquet garni, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, bright acidity, and firm tannin, all of which give it a masculine feel, despite having plenty of upfront fruit. This is a beautiful Cotes de Castillon that will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for a decade or more."

(8/2020) "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) is rich and explosive out of the glass.

Drink 2021 - 2030."

(2/28/2019) "One of the top sweet wines in this report is the 2016 Chateau Coutet, which has the vintage's plush, opulent style as well as thrilling purity and good acids.

(6/2019) "The 2017 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a gorgeous appellation-level wine from Brewer-Clifton. Creamy and ample, the 2017 is absolutely delicious. Tangerine, mint, lemon peel and sweet spice notes all meld together in a striking, nuanced Chardonnay that hits all the right notes. The 2017 is positively stellar. That's pretty much all there is to it. Drinking window: 2019 - 2027."
