  1. Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2020
    Guigal Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2020

    A rocking little gem in the making, the 2020 Côtes Du Rhône has a round, elegant, incredibly satisfying profile as well as textbook blackberry and black raspberry fruits supported by pepper and floral notes. It should be outstanding and well worth a few bottles. JEB DUNNUCK

    An impressive Cotes-du-Rhone with stacks of blackberry and black raspberry fruit wrapped around a core of moderately dry tannins on the bold palate. Long self-confidently dry finish. A cuvee of 50% syrah, 45% grenache and 5% mourvedre. Drink now. JAMES SUCKLING

    The medium to full-bodied 2020 Cotes du Rhone will see plenty of more time in tank, yet it's already drinking well, with hints of garrigue and black olives adding nuance to the blackberry and cherry fruit. Silky and clean, it's delightfully easy to drink. WINE ADVOCATE

  2. Dirupi Vino Sbagliato Sforzato di Valtellina 2018
    Dirupi Vino Sbagliato Sforzato di Valtellina 2018
    The 2018 Sforzato di Valtellina Vino Sbagliato is a powerhouse wine. Black cherry, plum, leather, cedar, tobacco, smoke, licorice and dried herbs pack a serious punch. Candied dark cherries smooth into the finish. This brooding, inward Sforzato has a ton of character. ANTONIO GALLONI

  3. Sandro Fay ‘Costa Bassa’ Superiore Chiavennasca  2020
    Sandro Fay ‘Costa Bassa’ Superiore Chiavennasca 2020
    With the grape variety recorded as Nebbiolo and its synonym Chiavennasca on the front label, the Sandro Fay 2020 Valtellina Superiore Valgella Costa Bassa offers pretty intensity that gives vertical lift and a direct approach to the bouquet. You get hibiscus and a note of purple fruit or flower, maybe lilac. The mouthfeel is fragile and wispy with a delicate, ethereal quality. There is a mineral, salty-like note as well at the tail end of this long-lasting wine. MONICA LARNER, The Wine Advocate

  7. Mauro Veglio Angelo Langhe Nebbiolo 2022
    Mauro Veglio Angelo Langhe Nebbiolo 2022

    This Nebbiolo is obtained with the more delicate consistency grapes, coming from our various younger and more exuberant vineyards both in the Municipality of La Morra and Monforte d'Alba, as well as Roero.

    Fresh, floral, and fruity aromas, with distinct notes of rose hip, marasca cherry, and delicate scents of raspberry. Light, delicate tannins and a fine, balanced body with good aromatic persistence. MAURO VEGLIO

  8. Mauro Veglio Comune di Serralunga d'Alba Barolo DOCG 2020
    Mauro Veglio Comune di Serralunga d'Alba Barolo DOCG 2020
    The 2020 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a blend of two sites in the village. Dark and evocative, the 2020 offers up a complex mélange of savory herbs, blood orange, balsamic-infused fruit, spice and new leather. This beguiling, nuanced Barolo hits all the right notes. The mix of finesse and power in reserve is alluring, to say the least. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Fresh, succulent and crunchy with red currants, cherries, dried herbs and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins and bright acidity. Seductive, vivid and racy with a textural finish. Try after 2027 JAMES SUCKLING

    The 2020 Comune di Serralunga bottling opens with aromas of spice, camphor and blue flower. Savory and elegantly structured, the linear palate offers juicy sour cherry, blood orange, cranberry and star anise alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2028–2033 KERIN O’KEEFE

  9. Mauro Veglio Barolo Paiagallo 2020
    Mauro Veglio Barolo Paiagallo 2020

    Crushed mint, dried rosemary, blue flower and woodland berry aromas come to the forefront on the gorgeous 2020 Paiagallo from Mauro Veglio. On the full-bodied palate, notes of star anise, coconut and coffee bean accent a juicy red cherry core. Drink 2028–2035. KERIN O’KEEFE

    Veglio's Paiagallo is from a single 30hl botte grande, where the wine ages for 24 months. It's very classic on the nose, with dried cherry, liquorice stick, intense Parma violet, cherry kernel and rhubarb. Firm on the palate, it shows very elegant tannins and a velvety texture, with lifted acidity and great red fruited length. A sleek Barolo, more elegant than powerful but no less cellarworthy.  ALDO FIORDELLI, wwe.decanter.com

  10. Mauro Veglio Barolo Gattera 2020
    Mauro Veglio Barolo Gattera 2020

    For co-owner Alessandro Veglio, 2020 is ‘a 2018 with more flesh’. Gattera's limestone soils provide good structure. A quite stern nose of cherry kernel, rhubarb, fresh violet and blood orange is followed by a savoury and filigree palate, with a texture to the tannins of rare elegance. Full and broad on the finish, with hints of cherry kernel. ALDO FIORDELLI, www.decanter.com

    The 2020 Barolo Gattera is a dark, at times somber, La Morra Barolo. Black cherry, plum, lavender, licorice, dried herbs and mocha all meld together. Pliant and deep, with notable concentration and breadth on the palate, the Gattera is a fine example of this site. Today, the 2020 is a bit closed, but I see that as a positive. ANTONIO GALLONI

    Mauro Veglio Barolo DOCG 2020
    The 2020 Barolo is redolent of sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, dried cherry and incense. The blend of sites (50% La Morra and 50% Serralunga/Monforte) works so well here. Medium in body and gracious, with lovely understated presence, the straight Barolo is a fine introduction to this range. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Crisp and fruity developing notes of crushed strawberries, red currants, stones, peppercorns and dried flowers on the nose. Medium body with firm tannins and sharp acidity at this stage. Racy and vivid with plenty of energy at the crunchy and slightly tart finish. Drink after 2027. JAMES SUCKLING

  12. Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto 2020
    Mauro Veglio Barolo Castelletto 2020
    The 2020 Barolo Castelletto is one of the most closed wines in this range from Veglio. Then again, we are in Monforte. Veins of saline-infused dark fruit, crushed rocks, herbs, mint and coffee open with a bit of coaxing. Nervy, focused tannins wrap it all together in style. I would give the 2020 a few years to soften, as the tannins are quite imposing today. I love the sheer vibrancy here. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Precise, well-composed and spicy with aromas of forest berries, herbs, iron and dried orange peel. It’s medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Rather firm yet it has a juicy core of succulent berries and cherries at the center. Focused finish with a sanguine character to it. Try after 2027. JAMES SUCKLING

    Mauro Veglio Barolo Arborina 2020
    The 2020 Barolo Arborina is a gorgeous wine from this La Morra site. Crushed rose petal, mint, blood orange, spice, tobacco and underbrush all open in glass, supported by bright acids that lend energy. This mid-weight, translucent Barolo is pure class. I especially admire its dimension and nuance. Give this a few years to soften. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    A focused and lively red with aromas of cherries, dried leaves, lavender and crushed white pepper follow through to a medium body with chewy tannins and fresh acidity. Vivid and crisp with a delicious, juicy finish. Try after 2026. JAMES SUCKLING

    Aromas of blue flower, dark-skinned berry and French oak lead the way on the attractive 2020 Mauro Veglio Arborina. Picking up where the nose leaves off, the palate offers juicy Morello cherry, coconut, vanilla and coffee bean alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2028–2034. KERIN O’KEEFE

This mid-weight, vibrant Barbaresco is impeccable. It's a gorgeous entry-level offering from Albino Rocca. (92) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    The 2020 Barbaresco Ovello Vigna Loreto is a bright, nervy Barbaresco. Kirsch, dried ?owers, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2020 its distinctive upper register. This mid-weight, vibrant Barbaresco needs time to soften. It is the most reticent of these wines. (93) ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous

    Notes of ripe cherries, ground spices and bark with hints of chocolate and dried leaves. Medium-bodied, polished and refined with a rather supple tannin structure yet with a firm, lingering finish. Try in a year or two. (93) JAMES SUCKLING, jamessuckling.com

    A hub of dark red raspberries, black plums and undergrowth offers inflections of garrigue and sweet spices. The palate is suavely styled, a gush of fruits, spices and earthy undertones come together, flowing and gaining flavours and depth. A funnel of inky tannins corrals the wine over the finish line. It's incredibly delicious and boasts immediacy and high levels of enjoyment. A delightful winter warmer with a touch of class. GABRIELLE POY, PWS

Fresh, with a frame of iron giving shape to the creamy palate, which reveals wafts of mesquite smoke and cool minerality.

    Domaine la Roubine La Grange de Briguieres Sablet 2022

    The personality of the maker - generous and jovial - is on full display via black and red fruits while blue florals and the liquorice that jumps out of the glass, give the wine it's aromatic swagger. On the palate too, it's direct; big on flavour and impact with that same red and black fruited attack laying the groundwork for a more complex array of mineral, hung meat, liquorice, dried herbs and smoke. Pretty much like falling head first into a hypothetical vat the Southern Rhone itself. Medium to full bodied with plenty of structure to cope with anything from the bbq to the one-pot wonder.

    It's one of the most authentic things I drink each year, capturing  the ethos of the fading French country wine in a glass. Rustic, reassuring and ultimately flat out delicious. MICHAEL MCNAMARA, PWS

    Domaine Gour de Chaulé Gigondas Tradition 2022

    STAFF PICKS 2024 - ROSCOE HALLIGAN-ROSE

    Too long a story to tell here, but the brief version is, I spent a good bit of time before our recent trip to the Rhone trying to find a producer that fit our wants and needs perfectly, we found three in the end. The Rhone is so exciting at the moment with so many great wines coming out, and many remain at reasonable prices. Still, in the face of this wave of excellent wine it is still rare to find someone crafting wines that are this extraordinary. Paul Formosa is one of the most talented and focused young winemakers I have come across in a long while. His wines are nothing short of spectacular.
    Wonderful purity of expression, vivid, bright and clearly defined. Lighter in colour than you may expect, but that belies the deep wells of character that lurk amongst those soaring aromatics, dramatic fruit and the flashes of minerality that add to the overall feel of crispness that accompanies the luxurious and beautifully cushioned fruit. The wine goes on and on and with each moment another nuance or detail escapes from the depths and flicks or flutters along your mouth, tantalising you with the feeling of things to come.
    Composed and self-assured, this is not a Gigondas that seeks to stun you with bold and forward fruit, rather it lures you in with its seductive flavours, its shapely profile and its enticing array of perfume. Sneaky structure pays second fiddle here, but it is all perfectly measured and ensures a very long and expressive life ahead. This was an easy choice for my wine of the year. ROSCOE



    The promising 2022 Gigondas Cuvée Tradition 1871 mixes 80% Grenache with the remainder equally split between Syrah and Mourvèdre. Glossy red fruits mingle with dashes of dried herbs and a splash of rosewater. Refreshing acidity neatly balances the moderate fruit concentration, persisting all the way through to the sapid finish. This is a lovely Gigondas. NICHOLAS GREINACHER, Vinous

The floral lift is just stunning. Despite its medium to full-body, this athletic 2022 red offers a seamless mouthfeel and is wonderfully light on its feet. (93 - 95) NICOLAS GREINACHER, Vinous

    A superb wine made exclusively from grenache from 80-year-old vines, silky and ethereal. The nose is seductive, with crushed wild strawberries, bitter oranges, roses and some peppercorns. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Such finesse of texture, with a silky core of bright, transparent and succulent berries. There is tension and vibrancy with an infused character. Intense while being restrained and always in control. Long finish. Drink or hold. (97) JAMES SUCKLING

    “The nose has a careful air of mixed fruits, dark berries. The attack is crystalline, with free run, still cautious fruits, neat juice late on. It’s upright and cool, outside the main group of wines, carries interest.”

    A superb nose with notes of cherry blossom, raspberry and redcurrant coulis. This wine is intense without being heavy. It awakens a feeling of great purity. its fruit is bright, the acidity and tannins are very fine. ready to drink, it is precise and concentrated and gathers around a refreshing balsamic note.  (94) DECANTER

    Pierre Usseglio Lirac 2022
    The 2022 Lirac is 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and 10% each of Syrah and Cinsault that saw a splash of stems and is still resting all in foudre. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, and peppery, savory herb notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full- bodied richness, a layered, mouth-filling texture, and outstanding length.

  41. Domaine La Soumade Rasteau 2020
    Domaine La Soumade Rasteau 2020
    Andre Romero founded Domaine Soumade in 1979 and is now considered perhaps the finest producer in the region. The village of Rasteau was elevated to AOC status alongside Chateauneuf du Pape and Gigondas and 2010, and we find that while the styles are similar there is more freshness in Rasteau than the other two. The Cuvee Prestige is a gorgeous wine, made from a classic blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (20%) and Mourvedre (10%) made with an extensive fermentation and maceration of nearly four weeks to extract colour, favour and tannins, following very gentle maturation in a combination of old 4,000L oak vats (foudres) and concrete tanks. This is a wine with beautiful perfume of violets and lavender, and stacked with the flavour of summer berries. The tannins are fine, sandy and delicately spicy.

    Diego & Damiano Barale Barolo 2020
    Fruit is sourced from Cannubi, Monrobiolo di Bussia, San Giovanni.
    Complex, subtle and concentrated on the nose at the same time. Minerally core wrapped up in cherry fruit. Lots of supple acidity and fragrant light fruit while very persistent and long. Fine grip of grainy tannins on the finish. Almost ephemeral. WALTER SPELLER

    The 2020 Barolo del Comune di La Morra is bright and nicely focused, with tons of La Morra class. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cinnamon and a touch of orange peel all grace this translucent, super-expressive Barolo from Alessandria... This is such a classy wine.

    Great balance on the palate, fresh fruity tones ranging from strawberry to watermelon with a touch of fresh violet and a long finish of liquorice. Alberto Alessandria is one of the most prominent winemakers of the moment in Barolo, and all the grapes for this Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 come from La Morra. Ageing in second-use barrels for a year.

    Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo DOCG 2020

    The 2020 Barolo is a gorgeous, classy wine. Crushed rose petal, red berry fruit, spice, mint and orange peel are all beautifully lifted in this gracious, mid-weight Barolo. Bright Monforte acids lend notable energy and freshness. This elegant, delicate Barolo is superb. The 2020 spent two years in wood, mostly barrique and about 10% in cask. What a joy. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous.com

    Rich and warmed aromas of ripe red fruits abundant in spice, featuring a pronounced licorice presence that melds with the warm, inviting notes of oak. On the palate, the wine is firm, with chewy tannins, contributing to its structured and robust character that keeps the rounded and plush fruit at bay as more savory elements develop as the wine evolves. Drink 2026 - 2040. WINE ENTHUSIAST

    Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous ruby. Rich strawberry fruit with a peppery tingle on the nose. Sappy red fruit with plenty of acidity and soft tannins. Very long and sweetly perfumed while the plentiful acidity makes the whole look leaner than it is. WALTER SPELLER, JancisRobinson.com

    Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo San Giovanni DOCG 2020

    The 2020 Barolo San Giovanni is fabulous. In fact, the 2020 is one of the best editions I can remember tasting. Dark cherry, cedar, new leather, incense, mocha and dried herbs all open in the glass. The 2020 is rich and deep, but with greater finesse than in the past. Intense savory, balsamic and mineral notes resonate on the super-classic finish. New oak is down to about 40% from the 50% or so of previous years. ANTONIO GALLONI, Vinous.com
