Masseto Massetino 2023

Toscana IGT

July 28, 2026 - Massetino is a wine crafted from the younger vines of Masseto, one of the finest Merlot plots on the planet. This wine is known for its crispness, vibrant color, and persistent bouquet. It's mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, providing lift and complexity as the youthful tannins evolve on the palate. First released in the 2017 vintage, Massetino has quickly become one of Tuscany’s finest collectibles. Its primary fruit expression and evolving structure make it a standout addition to any cellar.

Wine Advocate - February 05, 2026 "The Masseto 2023 Massetino is a blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc and confirms the growing confidence and individuality of this blend. The 2023 harvest was not easy…

James Suckling - July 15, 2025 "A dark, super-intense, rich and complex wine. On the nose it shows restrained bramble fruit, vanilla, cloves, eucalyptus and leather. Lots of graphite on the palate, with firm, velvety tannins,…

Wine Spectator - October 31, 2025 "Lush and well-marked by toasty oak, this red displays plum, blackberry, leather, vanilla and salt flavors. A dense matrix of tannins lends support as this extends on the lightly chewy…

Sandrone Sibi Et Paucis Le Vigne Barolo 2015

Barolo

July 28, 2026 - Sibi et Paucis, Latin for "for oneself and for a few," is Sandrone's library selection: a small portion of each vintage held back under optimal cellar conditions until the winery determines it is ready. The seal on the label marks that journey. Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis is more tannic and structured than its sibling ALESTE, revealing classic Barolo character over time: black cherry, tar, violets, and remarkable freshness and length.

Wine Advocate - January 30, 2025 "The Luciano Sandrone 2015 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis delivers a good sense of freshness and brightness. It offers a very good read of the vintage with an open-knit…

Vinous - January 08, 2025 "The 2015 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis is just beginning to open in its aromatics. Mid-weight, gracious and elegant, the 2015 is a classic Le Vigne. Red-toned fruit, blood…

Wine Spectator - August 06, 2025 "This red is settling into a nice groove, with the cut grass, freshly mown hay and red fruit character of the vintage. Cherry, raspberry, iron and spice flavors are fused…

Champagne Ayala Rosé Majeur

Champagne

July 28, 2026 - Rosé Majeur is the perfect embodiment of the originality and finesse of the House’s wines. Made predominantly from Chardonnay, it is crafted with the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims. A low dosage enables it to express the House style, both feminine and generous, with great elegance. The very high proportion of Chardonnay and the aging process result in a Champagne with remarkable finesse. It ages on the lees for three years, which is more than twice that is required by the appellation.

Wine Spectator - November 30, 2025 "Fresh and harmonious, this well-tailored rosé Champagne integrates a rich vein of chalky minerality and finely honed acidity with the raw silk–like mousse and a lovely range of crunchy white…

Wine Advocate - December 24, 2024 "Based on the 2020 vintage, the NV Rosé Majeur Brut reveals aromas of red berries, pomegranate, grapefruit and raspberries. Moderately weighted, incisive and taut, it's delicately juicy with a long,…

Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année 2018

Champagne

July 24, 2026 - La Grande Année is crafted only in exceptional vintages, made from the finest Grand and Premier Cru grapes. Vinified exclusively in small, old oak barrels using a rare artisanal tradition preserved by Bollinger's master cooper, this method elevates each vintage's character with remarkable finesse. After an extended period of lees ageing under natural cork, every bottle is still riddled and disgorged entirely by hand. A jewel of the Maison, La Grande Année is a pure expression of Bollinger's excellence and a testament to the enduring Art of Craftsmanship.

97

Wine Spectator - July 13, 2026 "A statuesque Champagne, with a spine of fine china–like acidity enmeshed in the plush mouthfeel of its finely detailed mousse. That’s an elegant springboard for layers of white cherry, creamed…

Vinous - March 09, 2026 "Bollinger's 2018 La Grande Annee is quite pretty and delicate. Floral and citrus notes are nicely lifted in a Grande Annee that offers notable sensuality and grace. Hints of orchard…
