Lucien Le Moine "Les Champeaux" Gevrey-Chambertin 2015
92+
Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(1/2018) "Bright ruby-red. Very ripe, wild, soil-driven aromas of black raspberry, chocolate, menthol, oak and earth. Dense but light on its feet, with penetrating saline minerality and a peppery element giving definition and lift to the wine's slightly reduced dark fruit and licorice flavors. Tight-grained but edge-free, this firmly tannic, dry, very long wine is going to require patience."

(2/28/2019) "Reminding me of the 2010 and, I suspect, a wine that will merit a triple-digit rating in a decade or so (I tasted this on multiple occasions and thought it was perfect on one of them), the 2016 Chateau Pontet-Canet comes from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Petit Verdot that spent 16 months in 50% new French oak, 35% in concrete amphora, and the rest in second fill oak. Thrilling notes of pure creme de cassis, lead pencil shavings, crushed mint, graphite, and crushed rock notes all emerge from this deep, powerful, yet elegant Pauillac. The style of this wine has become more and more finesse-driven and pure, yet it hasn't lost a beat on concentration or length. This singular, beautiful Pontet-Canet needs 7-8 years of cellaring (it has some accessibility today given its purity and balance) and will keep for 4-5 decades. Maturity 2026 - 2076."

Lewis Cellars "Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
93
Wine Spectator
(10/31/2019) "Alluring boysenberry, plum and blueberry flavors are seamlessly layered, picking up hints of mulled spice, melted licorice and ganache along the way. The ample grip is well-embedded, letting the fruit sing longest on the finish. Drink now through 2029. 1,300 cases made."

Salvano Barbaresco Riserva 1990
What stands out from the moment you pour the 1990 is the freshness. Look for aromas and flavors of macerated cherry skin, cranberry, balsamic, black truffle, wild mushroom, fennel, anise, clove, nutmeg and cured meat. It made us want to grab a big bowl of pasta Bolognese - a pairing that would be off the charts amazing! As with the 1989, the wine is elegant and balanced while maintaining incredible energy. While we imagine the 1990 has another decade or two of life in it if stored properly, there is no reason to deny yourself the pleasure now.

Vilmart et Cie "Coeur de Cuvee" Brut 2010
Legendary importer Terry Theise awards this wine +++/+++ "No surprise: This is gorgeous. Will there be a better 2010? And will Laurent always make the best wine in normal or 'difficult' vintages? Not his best wines, mind you-the best in all Champagne? This is another in a noble chain of manic vintages (2001, 2007) as separate from the rich sedate vintages (2006, 2009). It's electric, quivering, goose-fleshed, shimmery yet hedonic yet weightless yet as energetic as a kitten jumping after a laser."

(11/2018) "One of the things I admire most about Laurent Champs is his ability to turn out not just good - but great - wines in challenging years in which other growers struggle. Vibrant, nuanced and breathtakingly beautiful, the 2010 is simply mesmerizing. A kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures dazzles all the senses in a taut, vibrant Champagne that will stop readers dead in their tracks. The 2010 is every bit that good. A few years in the cellar should help the wine soften a bit, but it is incredibly beautiful today. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2017. Drink 2020 - 2032."

Mastrojanni "Vigna Schiena d'Asino" Brunello di Montalcino 2015
98
Wine Advocate
(1/31/2020) "Here's a wine that embodies the spirit of the vintage. It comes from a small one-hectare vineyard site located on the crest of a hill, or the so-called "donkey's spine" maybe because it looks like a schiena d'asino or maybe because the labor-intensive farming broke its proverbial back. The Mastrojanni 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino shows a sweet spot with ripe red cherry and plump blackberry or plum. It segues slowly to spice, tar and licorice. This wine is a bit more streamlined and linear compared to the Vigna Loreto, and the Vigna Schiena d'Asino is also longer, deeper and more nuanced in comparison. It finishes with a beautiful blast of bight cherry. This wine is truly beautiful. Only 6,000 bottles were made, and we can look forward to this wine's release in September 2020."

(6/2019) "The 2017 El Desafio de Jonata is another positively stellar wine in this range. Two thousand seventeen is one of the few years in which Cabernet is so dominant. Rich and explosive, with tremendous vertical thrust, the 2017 oozes with class and intensity. Creme de cassis, new leather, licorice, sweet spice and menthol are some of the many notes that build as this statuesque, alluring wine shows off its pedigree. In 2017, the blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Wow...! Drinking window: 2021 - 2032"

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(10/2018) "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Bright, powerful and pulsing with energy, the 2016 possesses stunning textural depth allied to a real sense of drive. Black cherry, tobacco, menthol, sage and licorice give this Cabernet from southern Oakville much of its distinctive personality. In this tasting, the 2016 Ulysses simply towers with pedigree and character. I loved it. Although the track record is short, the 2016 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and Tod Mostero have made at Ulysses.Drinking window: 2026 - 2046"

Chateau Montelena "The Montelena Estate" Calistoga Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
94+
Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(12/2018) "The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is dark, ample and totally seductive. Black cherry, mocha, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco all meld together. Pliant and supple, the 2016 is already incredibly delicious. This is an especially mid-weight wine and style. Accordingly, the 2016 Estate will drink well with minimal cellaring. The Estate was bottled just two months before this tasting. I imagine it will put on some weight with further time in bottle. All the elements appear to be in the right place for that to happen. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2041."

(10/29/2018) "The deep purple-black colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is blended of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. It's beautifully perfumed with fragrant earth, lavender, oolong tea and chocolate-covered cherries with a core of warm cassis, crushed wild blueberries plus a compelling waft of roses. The full-bodied palate has a firm yet somehow wonderfully elegant frame thanks to super ripe, super fine-grained tannins and background freshness supporting the perfumed black fruit layers, leading to a very long finish. Drink 2019 - 2046."
