Altos las Hormigas Appellation Paraje Altamira Malbec 2019, 0.75L
Malbec from Altamira, Mendoza

"The 2019 Malbec Appellation Paraje Altamira is made with grapes from the eponymous Uco Valley GI and aged for 18 months in untoasted foudres. A rich violet in hue. The subtle, clean and austere nose offers notes of plum and cherry along with violet and herb aromas against a cedar backdrop. In the mouth, the core is provided by a juicy freshness while the texture is chalky. A little reactive grip makes for a compact, nimble and linear flow that guarantees it will grow in the bottle. Fresh grapes appear at the back of the throat enhanced by the tannins. Keep for a while before drinking to allow its subtle character to develop properly." 94 Joaquin Hidalgo, Vinous

Bachelet-Monnot Chassagne-Montrachet 2022, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy

“This had just been bottled and not surprisingly, it was noticeably reduced. Otherwise, there is good verve and solid volume to the succulent and caressing medium weight flavors that also conclude in a moderately austere bone-dry finale. This is presently very compact and a wine that could also use better depth so at least a few years of patience will be necessary”. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jun 2024

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny Montrachet 2022, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Puligny-Montrachet , Burgundy

“Smoky reduction dominates the nose save for a glimpse of floral character. By contrast there is good verve and freshness to the utterly delicious, sleek and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This is an excellent, and really quite classy, Puligny villages and definitely recommended”. 89-92, Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jun 2024

Joseph Colin Puligny-Montrachet Le Trezin 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Puligny Montrachet, Burgundy

"Beautifully layered aromas of smoked green apple, acacia and plenty of citrus elements give way to equally good volume and even more minerality on the impressively long and unusually powerful flavors that possess outstanding depth and persistence for a villages-level wine. This is built on its minerality though ultimately, it's the intricate and finely wrought balance that makes this such a standout. If you can find it, don't hesitate. *Outstanding, Top Value!*" 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, June 2022

Joseph Colin Saint-Aubin Murgers des Dents de Chien 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from St. Aubin, Burgundy

“An ultra-fresh and cool nose reluctantly offers up its aromas just sliced citrus, white peach and mineral reduction. The delicious, intense and impressively voluminous flavors possess fine mid-palate density along with plenty of minerality that adds a sense of lift to the citrus, serious and built-to-age finale. This is one to strongly consider.” 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, June 2022

Chardonnay from Bourgogne Côte d'Or, Burgundy

."Complicating notes of pear, white flowers, marzipan, apple, beeswax, lime zest, and a fashionable hint of light reduction; this is an attractively medium-weight Bourgogne Blanc punching above its niveau and revealing fine mid-palate density throughout; fresh, saline, citrus-driven, and persistent, this complex Bourgogne can be drunk now or aged for the short or medium term."

Geoffroy Blanc de Rose Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut 2013, 0.75L
Pinot Noir / Chardonnay from Cumières , Champagne

"... Blanc de Rose is superb. Rich, effusive and so wonderfully inviting, the Blanc de Rose checks all the boxes. Sweet floral accents meld into a core of red berry fruit, cinnamon and blood orange. Two years post-disgorgement, the 2013 has an extra kick of bottle complexity that rounds things out nicely." 94 Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"Derived from the 2013 vintage and disgorged in March 2019, the latest release of Geoffroy's NV Extra-Brut Rosé de Saignée Blanc de Rose is showing nicely, offering up scents of crisp apple, rye toast, red berries and cherries. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and precise, it's seamless and textural, with a notably elegant, fine-boned profile by the standards of this habitually vinous, broad-shouldered cuvée."

JL Vergnon Blanc de Blancs Eloquence Extra Brut NV, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Champagne

The NV Extra- Brut Eloquence Grand Cru is another impressive wine in this range from Vergnon. The low dosage of three grams per liter brings out freshness and energy. Lemon peel, mint, white flowers and crushed rocks build effortlessly in the glass.  The release, based on 2017 with 20% reserve wines, is gorgeous. Give this a good bit of air, as it opens nicely over time. Disgorged May 2021. 93 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, Nov 2022

Pierre Gimonnet Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru Spécial Club 2015, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Cote de Blancs, Champagne

"A super-elegant and very graceful champagne that you sink into like a huge, velvet sofa. The ravishing orange-blossom aromas make this really hard to resist! Very suave and silky finish. From vines planted in 1951 and 1991." 95 James Suckling

"The 2015 Extra- Brut Special Club Chouilly Grand Cru is a very pretty, exotic wine. Tangerine oil, jasmine, lemon peel, mint and white pepper add tons of aromatic flair to this airy, gracious Champagne. There is a sense of transparency to the Chouilly that is quite appealing. Readers should expect a taut, linear style. Dosage is 4 grams per liter." Disgorged Oct 2021. 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Nov 2022

Jean-Luc Pasquet Grande Champagne Cognac L’Organic 07 NV, 0.75L
Cognac from Cognac Grande Champagne, Cognac

“I always get excited about excellent younger brandies, such as this organic expression from Jean Luc Pasquet, which replaces their previous Tradition Familiale and is slightly younger, with a minimum of seven years, all from the estate in Grande Champagne. Light amber, with an expressive nose of pineapple, licorice and toasted marshmallow, as well as tobacco, which carries all the way through the palate, balanced by pear and grapefruit. The soft, dry finish reveals notes of cocoa. Really impressive Cognac that falls somewhere between VSOP and XO. (40% abv)” 94, Jason Wilson, Vinous, Jan 2019

While light in body, it has innate power, masses of concentration and an electric charge of crackling acidity. This is a pup of a wine that's going to need time.” 95, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Piaggia Poggio de'Colli Toscana 2020, 0.75L
Cabernet Franc from Carmignano, Tuscany

"The darkly alluring 2020 Cabernet Franc Poggio de' Colli takes its time in the glass, slowly awakening with a dusty mix of red currants, pepper-tinged rose, exotic curries and the slightest touch of animal musk that adds gravitas. This is velvety smooth yet finessed. It's cool-toned in feel with a potent wave of tart raspberry fruits that saturates the palate with savory spice and mineral tones. It leaves a coating of fine tannins and a staining of berry concentration through the finale, tapering off sapid and long, yet perfectly balanced. What a radiant vintage for the Poggio de' Colli, Piaggia's varietal Cabernet Franc. Revisit it in five years to see some real sparks fly. (Drink between 2026-2034)" 97 Eric Guido, Vinous.com

Casco Viejo Tequila Blanco NV, 1L
Tequila from Jalisco, Jalisco

"Produced by the revered Camarena family in the iconic distilling town of Arandas, Casco Viejo Tequila is an outstanding entry-level tequila. Blending tradition and modernism, the family operates the same estate grounds they’ve worked since the 1830s, while employing a patented production process called Zero D which integrates recycling into all aspects of the tequila-making process.

Casco Viejo is made entirely from Blue Weber agave grown in the Los Altos region of Jalisco; this highland plateau, around 7,000 above sea level, is widely regarded as one of the top agave producing environments in Mexico by virtue of its iron- and clay-rich red soil, hot days of sun exposure and cooling breezy nights. Production is vertically integrated, as the Camarena family owns 18 fields of agave. The agave is cooked in traditional brick furnaces, fermented in wooden vats and distilled twice in traditional copper pot stills." Importer Notes, Skurnik Wines & Spirits

Cuish Mezcal Espadín Agave Angustifolia NV, 0.75L
Mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

"In case you haven’t heard, we are big-time espadín advocates at Skurnik Wines and Spirits. Since the recent surge in popularity of mezcales made from numerous rare or wild agave, the once noble espadín has fallen into disrepute, often seen as commonplace and basic. This false impression could hardly be more incorrect. Truth is, the sugar-rich espadín has been the lifeblood of mezcal producing families for decades, and is often the most revered variety for its adaptability and generous yield, giving it a central role in social, civic and spiritual events for Oaxacan mezcal communities. Produced by maestro mezcalero Jose Santiago López in Santiago Matatlán, the heart of mezcal in Oaxaca, and rested in glass for two years, this espadín is a beautiful example of the variety’s diversity: full of ebullient aromatics like citrus peel, fresh bark, and sweet red berries. 48% ABV" ​Importer Notes, Skurnik Wines & Spirits

Crystallum Chardonnay The Agnes 2018, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Walker Bay, South Africa

"The 2018 The Agnes comes from five vineyards in Hemel-en-Aarde and Overberg, aged in 228- and 500-liter barrels with 10% new oak. It has a discreet bouquet with subtle pressed flower and shale-like aromas that suggest this is a Chardonnay for cellaring. The palate is wonderfully poised, revealing hints of vanilla and coconut flakes on the entry, countered by a crisp line of acidity and a pleasing tautness on the finish. Excellent." 92 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Nov 2019

“It’s always a pleasure to meet with the indefatigable Peter-Allan Finlayson, whose wines at Crystallum I have been shoveling praise upon since his debut vintage …. [he] was on hand to guide me through his latest releases, although he admitted that he had forgotten to bring one of them. Probably had his mind on other things: the impending 2017 harvest and the fact that now he oversees not just Crystallum but Gabrielskloof, whose wines I have reviewed separately. Hopefully the reviews speak for themselves, merely consolidating everything that I have written before, principally that these are some of South Africa's finest Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Attesting to that was the fine performance of his wine when served against the likes of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of J-L Trapet at a lunch in Cape Town just a few days earlier. I asked about recent developments at Crystallum, and Fin—as he is known in these parts—told me that he had recently bought a piece of his own land for Crystallum, located around two kilometers past Creation, therefore outside the Hemel-en-Aarde region. At the moment he is still buying fruit from growers, but this single hectare of Pinot Noir is a start to obtaining "dirt" that he can call his own. As usual, these wines are highly recommended, although quantities remain frustratingly small.” Neal Martin, Vinous.com 2015/2017

Blackberry, bitter cherry and candied licorice on the palate, along with suggestions of dark chocolate and succulent herbs. Opens up slowly with air and finishes very long and spicy, with smooth, even tannins and lingering florality." ​94 Points Josh Raynolds, Vinous

Bodegas Albamar 'Pepe Luis' Albariño 2022, 0.75L
Albariño from Rías Baixas, Galicia

"Xurxo Alba is a magician, a winemaker who knows how to tease the best out of old-vine Albariño on granite soils. This comes from five coastal parcels and is another triumph from a brilliant winemaker. Fermented with full malolactic before ageing in German and Austrian foudres, it has struck match, laurel and sea breeze aromas, mouth-watering acidity and lanolin and waxed lemon flavours.” 97, Tim Atkin MW, Dec 2024

"One of the great wines of the region, this has an expressive nose reminiscent of grapefruit and white flowers. The palate is really energetic, driven by texture and acidity. Complex and multidimensional. This comes from two neighboring parcels in Castrelo close to the ocean. Aged for about 10 months in used barrels. Drink now." 96, James Suckling, Nov 2024
