2017 Chateau de Beaucastel Rouge, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 3x75cl
"Now that it's in the bottle, Beaucastel's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape comes across as full-bodied and rich, but also a bit shut down and reticent on the nose. With air, black olives and asphalt give... way to black cherries and briery spice notes, backed by velvety but substantial tannins and a long, richly textured finish. Given a few years in the cellar, I have no doubt this will drink well for the next 15-plus years." 94+ pts., Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com

2019 Domaine du Tunnel, Cornas 6x75cl
"This is really packed, offering dense waves of cassis, plum compote and blackberry reduction flavors that stay well-defined as they rumble through, with ample cast iron, sweet tapenade, lavender and... bay leaf accents. There's loads of grip on the back end, but it's well-integrated, so just let this unwind in the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2038." 95 pts., James Molesworth, winespectator.com

2021 Coudoulet de Beaucastel Rouge, Cotes du Rhone 12x75cl
"Very appealing nose, juicy, packed full of berry fruit, leather and spice. Rich layered palate with taut tannins, good freshness and a balanced finish. Needs a bit of time – medium-bodied but attractive dark-fruit cassis-led style.” 16 pts., Alistair Cooper MW, jancisrobinson.com

2020 Domaine du Tunnel, Saint-Joseph 6x75cl
An enticing expression of this more 'rustic' of appellations, still starting with a beautifully refined nose of black pepper, spice, bay leaf and mineral notes. On the palate, invigorating streaks of... creamy minerality; juicy black bitter/sweet olive fruit and liquorice that is clean, grippy and lingering. It promises supreme drinking pleasure in 5-7 years' time.

2019 Yann Chave, Hermitage 6x75cl
"A complex bouquet evokes ripe blackberry, cherry compote, licorice and violet, energized by a spicy cracked pepper nuance. Broad and fleshy in the mouth, offering densely packed, smoke-tinged... black/blue fruit, exotic spice and floral pastille flavors that pick up a minerally nuance as the wine opens up. Shows superb delineation and spicy lift on a long, silky finish framed by steadily building tannins. There were five demi-rnuids of this wine in 2019, all of them new."

2020 Jasmin, Cote Rotie, Giroflarie 12x75cl
Ampuis-based Jasmin has the advantage of choosing from 12 different plots for blending this exceptional Cote-Rotie (95% syrah, 5% viognier) which he ages for 18 months. His 'Giroflarie' is... considered by many to be the most 'Burgundian' of cuvées in the appellation, drinking quite deliciously in its youth yet also packing the stuff for a good 20 years of graceful ageing.

2013 Christophe Pichon, Cote Rotie, Promesse 12x75cl
"A classic Côte Rôtie, the 2013 Côte Rôtie Promesse checks in as a blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, completely destemmed, and spent 14 months in one-year-old barrels before bottling. While... there’s only 200 cases or so of the top La Comtesse en Côte Blonde, there’s over a thousand cases of this beauty, so it should be easier to find. Offering textbook black raspberry, violets, bay leaf and raspberry notes, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, fine tannin and a sexy, forward, elegant and already hard to resist profile. I’d happily drink it anytime over the coming decade." 90 points, The Wine Advocate

2019 Paul Jaboulet Aine, Crozes-Hermitage, Domaine de Thalabert 6x75cl
"Seemingly refined by the additional elevage since I reviewed a barrel sample last year, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert remains a big, rich, dark-fruited and almost tarry effort, but... this full-bodied wine is pleasantly velvety and marked by savory notes of scorched wood and black olive tapenade that linger on the finish." 93+ pts., Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com

2018 Paul Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage, La Maison Bleue 6x75cl
"Sourced from the eastern portion of the hillside, the 2018 Hermitage La Maison Bleue is earthy, welcoming and open with hints of crushed stone accenting red raspberries and vanilla. Full-bodied and... lush, with a creamy texture, it's approachable young, yet still powerful, rich and long on the finish. I'd expect it to close down over the next couple of years, then reemerge and blossom after 2025 or so." 94 pts., Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com

2020 Domaine du Tunnel, Cornas, Vin Noir 6x75cl
Another example of the new and refined direction in which Tunnel take Cornas. No longer the rusticity that had been typically associated with the appellation; rather, an enticingly elegant, polished... nose of black cherry and liquorice; an ultra silkiness on the palate, grippy, dense, dark black fruit and flavours of olive tapenade and corresponding sweet spice. Fresh, clean, powerful length. From 80-100-year-old vines.

2020 Domaine de la Bouissiere, Gigondas 12x75cl
Old vines and elevation provide an invigorating elegance and freshness on a nose of juicy, red fruit grenache, leading to equally juicy, bitter, black syrah fruit on a palate that shows at once raciness, great power and depth. Wonderfully interwoven tannis, ong, peppery, juicy finish. An exceptionally unique Gigondas.
