Very impressive red and dark berries with a layer of fresh flowers and sous bois. The palate has a super-juicy edge with fine yet assertive acidity and a long, richly fruited finish. Impressive clarity and power in terms of structure. Drink or hold.

Yohan Lardy Moulin-a-Vent Vieilles Vignes de 1903 2017
Score: 97
There’s a very impressive sense of balance here, thanks in part to the more than 100-year-old vines. Dark fruit, earthy notes, chocolate and spice all in abundance. The opulent tannins are captivating. Drink or hold.

Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie
Score: 96
Stunning, concentrated black cherries and plenty of the characteristic acidity of the vintage, both seamlessly interwoven with the gentle tannins and the minerality through the very long, super-clean finish. Exemplary use of oak. Almost endless finish. Drink or hold.
Score: 96

Jean-Claude Debeaune Morgon Montchoisy 2017
Score: 95
Very deep, dark-fruited Morgon with dark cherries and plums, wrapped in dark chocolate and carried on fluid, velvety, long tannins. Great depth here. A level of structure you would normally associate with more celebrated appellations such as Cornas or Corton. Drink or hold.
Score: 95

Score: 95
An exceptional wine that has a very plush array of ripe fruit, in the strawberry and cherry zone, with hints of cocoa and a long and succulent palate. Super fine, ripe tannins. Exhilarating finish. Excellent. Drink or hold.
