97 Points - Guia Penin. Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de Las Liebres 2018 is one of the greatest wines of the Ribera del Duero. The 2018 scored 94 from Robert Parker, cementing its reputation as a wine to be compared with the likes of Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Made exclusively from Tinto Fino, the local name for Tempranillo, from a single high-altitude (850m above sea level) vineyard in only great years, since its release in 1991 it has become one of the most sought-after wines in all of Spain.

Situated in an enviable small enclave among the classified growths of Saint-Julien, 5 hectares of vines are surrounded by the grand crus classés of Leoville Barton, Gruaud Larose, Beychevelle and Talbot. "The Château Moulin de la Rose Saint-Julien is a wonderful showing. It instantly starts off with aromas of red and dark berries woven together with flowers, spices, new leather and toast all unwinding in the glass. On the palate this is medium to full-bodied with excellent structure and wonderfu

91 Points - Wine Spectator.Dave Phinney doesn’t make wines that whisper — even his Sauvignon Blanc has something to say. Blank Stare takes a grape known for its precision and dresses it in Californian attitude. A portion fermented in oak adds depth and texture, while fruit from Sonoma and the Russian River Valley keeps things bright and racy. It’s Sauvignon with swagger — bold, aromatic and just the right side of indulgent. Vivino Rating 4.0 (Sept 2025) Wine Press Ratings 91 Points - Wine Specta

The youngest wine from the Pago de los Capellanes winery has become a true best-seller, always in high demand. Made 100% with Tempranillo grapes from the Santa Gadea vineyards, a farm with poor clay-calcareous soils characteristic of the riverside terroir. The low fertility of the soils results in low high-quality yield with excellent aromas. Vivino Rating: 4.1 (Jun 2025) Taste Fresh and vibrant, while at the same time complete and full of energy, this is a clear, affable, open and frank charact

94 Points - The Wine Independent. Dave Phinney doesn’t really do subtlety — and Mannequin is a classic example of that unashamed Californian swagger. This is Chardonnay dialled up to eleven: bold, textured and unapologetically hedonistic. Sourced from some of Napa and Sonoma’s best sites, it’s a wine that manages to marry power and polish without ever tipping into excess. Think of it as California sunshine in liquid form — but with the complexity and balance that Phinney’s meticulous blending al

93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS. A wonderful Burgundian style Pinot Noir from a producer who carefully select fruit from Marlborough's top organic single vineyards to produce wines of great elegance and complexity. An aromatic, savoury nose with notes of damson plum, dark berry, forest floor, nori, peppercorns, salami and salted, black liquorice. Medium-bodied, with plush fruit but still a seriously structured wine with layered tannins. Wine Press Ratings 93 Points - Cameron Douglas MS (2021 Vint

90 Points - James Suckling. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard hails from Lalande de Pomerol, a commune of Bordeaux that made the most of the fantastic 2019 vintage. Lalande de Pomerol's best wines share many of the characteristics of the wines from its more famous neighbour, while offering great value for money - something no one could accuse Pomerol of doing. The Chateau Pavillon Beauregard 2019 received 90 points from The Wine Independent, and it's easy to see why. With its plump nose of crushed

94 Points - Tim Atkin MW. There were only 5,000 bottles produced of this un-oaked Cabernet Franc, from vineyards situated at over 1,000 metres high. Highly praised by the International Wine Press, this is a medium bodied wine, with a wonderful complexity of herbaceous and dark fruit notes, firm tannins and a fresh acidity.

98 Points - Raffaele Vecchione. Solengo was the brainchild of the legendary winemaker and father of Super Tuscan wines, Giacomo Tachis. The first vintage was 1995 and is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Sangiovese. The wines are aged in French barriques for twelve months and are blended just before the bottling. A long period in bottle follows before the finished Solengo is released. Solengo, by the way, means solitary wild boar in Tuscan, and describes perfectly the regal, p

The Valdivieso Caballo Loco Grand Cru Limari is another of Valdivieso’s flagship wines, one that utilises fruit from their best plantings of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec, and Pinot Noir grapes. While Limari is one of the finest of Chile’s wine regions, it’s also one of the most inhospitable. Annual rainfall of around 90mm (3.5 inches) combined with poor clay and chalk soils mean that vines struggle and the resulting fruit can be superb. A blend of Syrah, Carmenere, Malbec and Pinot Noir may not soun

91 Points - James Suckling. Second wines in great years have always been a great way for Bordeaux wine lovers to enjoy something special without breaking the bank. The Petit Corbin-Despagne Saint-Emilion 2018 is a prime example of this. The second wine of the Grand Cru Classe, Chateau Grand Corbin-Despagne, it shares much of its big brother's class and style, but being made from younger vines it's approachable young. Leading critic James Suckling gave the Petit Corbin-Despagne Saint-Emilion 2018

The second wine of Château Rouget. The terroirs dedicated to Le Carillon de Rouget are slightly higher than the ones selected for Château Rouget. This, combined with the relative youth of the vines, compared to the ones of the Grand Vin, result in earlier ripening and give the wine its roundness and appealing character.
