Pra 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
$79.99 – $408.00Veneto Italy
James Suckling 92 Rating
A burly wine of considerable concentration. A twine of green pepper, stalky fennel and Alpine amaro, with some barrique cedar edges. Yet the mid-palate lacks the gusto necessary to mitigate and ameliorate the herbal patina. Made on a drier side, with the pursuit of freshness evident.

Terrabianca 2019 Croce Riserva Chianti Classico
$39.99 – $408.00Tuscany Italy
Wine Advocate 93 Rating
The Arillo in Terrabianca 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva Poggio Croce reveals a wild and unpredictable side with underbrush, forest berry, button mushroom and sweet potting soil. You also get hints of chalky limestone. This Riserva ups the complexity factor to a good extent, and the wine offers the depth and firmness to pair with a stewed meat dish.

La Fortezza 2012 Aglianico del Taburno Riserva
$39.99 – $408.00Campania Italy
The wine has a garnet red color, an intense aroma of red berries, spices and tobacco on the nose; on the palate it is warm and well-structured, with unobtrusive tannins and an aftertaste of black pepper.

Campo alle Comete 2019 Bolgheri Stupore
$39.99 – $408.00Tuscany Italy
Wine Enthusiast 93 Rating
Aromas of forest floor, leather, ripe black-skinned berry and fragrant blue flower mingle with whiffs of sea breeze. The polished, savory palate doles out ripe black cherry, black berry, truffle, mocha and salty mineral notes alongside smooth tannins. Drink through 2029.

Domaine de Chevalier 2018 L’Esprit de Chevalier Pessac-Leognan
$39.99 – $408.00Bordeaux France
James Suckling 95 Rating
This is an extremely polished and refined young wine with gorgeous blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, dark-chocolate and bark character. It’s full-bodied with ever so fine tannins and a long, long finish. Fantastic second wine of Domaine de Chevalier. Try after 2026.

La Lecciaia 2016 Brunello di Montalcino
$39.99 – $408.00Tuscany Italy
James Suckling 94 Rating
Aromas of dried cherries, smoke, dark leather and violets with some dried leaves follow through to a full body with firm, fine tannins that are slightly chewy, yet it shows length and focus. Needs time to open on the finish. Try after 2023.

Chateau d’Yquem 2020 Sauternes
$399.99Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 97 Rating

The floral wine has great intensity, dominated at this stage by the concentrated botrytis. It is powerful, rich, balancing acidity and sweetness. This of course is a great wine that will age, but it is almost ready now. Drink from 2027 and for many years. SPBX-3 -
Verite 2012 Le Desir
$399.99Sonoma County California
Wine Advocate 100 Rating

The 2012 Le Desir (64% Cabernet Franc, 24% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec) reminds me of a young vintage of Ausone, such as 2005. The wine has amazing minerality and an explosive blueberry nose intermixed with blackberries, new saddle leather, charcoal and camphor. It is full-bodied, with espresso notes emerging on the palate. There are 1,900 cases of this super-endowed, prodigious wine that should drink well for 35-40 years. How fun it would be for mega-millionaires to put this in a blind tasting of a great vintage of Ausone in 10, 20 or 30 years from now. Drink: 2015-2055. SP22-1 -
Opus One 2018 Red
$399.99Napa Valley California
James Suckling 99 Rating
Extremely perfumed and floral with lavender, lilacs and violets to the sweet, ripe berries, such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Some slate and graphite, too. It’s full-bodied, yet ever so balanced and refined, with super fine tannins that last for minutes. Fresh herbs, such as bay leaf and lemon grass highlight the dark fruit. The quality of tannin is exquisite with wonderful polish and refinement. Lasts for minutes. So wonderful to taste now, but better after 2026.
