I love the aromas here with forest flowers, wild mushrooms and tobacco, as well as currants. Full and very layered with creamy tannins that caress your palate. So long and enticing. Such a gorgeous Bordeaux that is just starting to show its real self. Love it. Drink or hold.

Tasted at the Las-Cases off-line at The Square. The 1995 and 1996 Las-Cases are both monumental wines and the former does not disappoint here. It has a spellbinding nose of blackberry, cassis, melted tar and sous-bois with so much vibrancy and vivacity. The palate is full-bodied with succulent, rounded tannins, enormous depth and power. The finish is beautifully poised and minerally, much more feminine than the ’96. This is a Las-Cases with guile and grace, but it deserves at least 2 hours decanting to open up.

Slowly builds on your palate, then delivers fabulous character and structure. Extremely well-crafted young red. Complex aromas of violets, berries, cinnamon and currants. Full-bodied, with extremely well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish

The 1995 Léoville Las Cases is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. Medium garnet colored with a touch of brick, it needs a fair bit of swirling to unlock the intense notes of baked plums, dried mulberries and boysenberry preserves with hints of black truffles, Chinese five spice, unsmoked cigars and dusty soil, plus wafts of beef drippings and cast-iron pan. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers good weight and generous fruit, supported by plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with loads of earth, sautéed herbs and mineral-inspired flavors.

If it were not for the prodigious 1996, everyone would be concentrating on getting their hands on a few bottles of the fabulous 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases, which is one of the vintage's great success stories. The wine boasts an opaque ruby/purple color, and exceptionally pure, beautifully knit aromas of black fruits, minerals, vanillin, and spice. On the attack, it is staggeringly rich, yet displays more noticeable tannin than its younger sibling. Exceptionally ripe cassis fruit, the judicious use of toasty new oak, and a thrilling mineral character intertwined with the high quality of fruit routinely obtained by Las Cases, make this a compelling effort. There is probably nearly as much tannin as in the 1996, but it is not as perfectly sweet as in the 1996. The finish is incredibly long in this classic. Only 35% of the harvest was of sufficient quality for the 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.

A year that can get overlooked on the Left Bank compared to the (majestic at this property) 1986, but I would strongly suggest not forgetting about the 1995 Las Cases. No Petit Verdot, unusual at the time and making it more reflective of modern blends, stong salinity, with waves of oyster shell and white truffles that head towards dried roses, finely boned tannins, campfire, soot, undergrowth, blackberry, and a shot of mandarin juice that injects a shot of freshness and youth. At this stage it isn't loudly proclaiming its brilliance, just gently reminding you that this is a wine built to last, with a shot of electricity running through it. 50% new oak. Michel Delon owner.

There should be around 30,000 cases of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted as a final blend, taken from tank, it reveals plenty of cherries, plus a backdrop of darker, riper fruit flavors, like cassis and blueberry. There's the requisite cedar and vanilla, from aging in oak, but it's balanced. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, silky-velvety smooth and easy to drink, plush without being creamy or overdone, with a long, mint-accented finish.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva entices with an exotic burst of sour cherry and confectionary spice complicated by zests of tangerine and violet florals. This sweeps across the palate, lifted and refined, with a pretty inner sweetness and zesty acidity to balance as tart wild berry fruits cascade throughout. It finishes potent and long, leaving grippy tannins and an unexpected freshness. This is a beautiful effort from the 2018 vintage, and while I don’t believe it has the bones for long-term maturation, it will provide much pleasure through a broad and open drinking window.

92 Eric Guido - Vinous Media

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato takes the finesse and airy lift of the vintage and marries it with the opulence of the Zenato style. Sweet spices, incense, sugar-dusted cherries, cloves and mint form a seductive bouquet. It’s surprisingly feminine and juicy in character, with a core of tart wild berry fruits complicated by hints of cedar and rosy inner florals that form toward the close. The 2018 finishes spicy and long, with only the slightest tug of fine tannins and a pleasantly tart sensation that puckers the cheeks. This is an atypical Riserva Sergio Zenato, yet it's no less enjoyable. That said, I would prefer to drink it sooner rather than later.

From the 2019 vintage, Kayli Morgan will transition to being called Morgan's Way, although the vineyard sourcing remains the same. The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Morgan's Way delivers waves of ripe cherry, Madagascar vanilla and cigar box aromas, while the full-bodied palate is velvety and taut at the same time, that tension providing great liveliness and length on the mouthwatering finish.

"The 2022 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive, produced from vines averaging 80 years old, masterfully pushes the boundaries of concentration. Offering up opulent aromas of grilled blackberries and cherries mingled with licorice, cloves, white pepper, orange rind, vine smoke, struck flint and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied and appropriately structured with abundant powdery tannins playing a critical role in bolstering the fleshy structure for a long life. The lengthy finish sees the wine's textural and mineral elements meld, guiding it to a gentle, leisurely resolve." Kenna Wells

95 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

The wine is gorgeously expressed and elegantly lifted on the nose showing blackcurrant, dark plum, cigar and toasted almond characters. It is superbly weighted and concentrated on the palate, delivering excellent depth and intensity, backed by fine texture and firm, chalky tannins. Sturdy and lingering. At its best: now to 2027.

86 Wine Spectator

This rich, smooth wine is full of ripe blackberry flavors. Its gentle tannins are already integrated into the fruitiness, leaving a touch of dark chocolate, hints of wood aging and acidity to finish the wine freshly.

"This shows notes of black cherries, red licorice, tree bark, cocoa and wet earth. Medium-bodied with creamy tannins and juicy dark fruit. Firm and textured with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold."

"This is incredibly fresh and vivid with orange peel, orange blossoms, cherries and hints of rose stem. Medium-bodied with a sleek and racy palate of creamy, fine tannins and a energetic length and purity. Crunchy. 100% whole cluster. From vineyards planted in 1955. Drink or hold."

The 2014 Extra Brut Clos des Goisses is soft, open-knit and quite gracious. Readers will find a relatively accessible Goisses that will drink well with minimal cellaring. All the Goisses signatures are present, but they are dialed down. This cuvée typically shows more body, breadth and persistence, but those qualities were hard to come by in 2014. Hints of tangerine peel, marzipan, chamomile and spice linger. The blend is 71% Pinot Noir and 29% Chardonnay. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2023

Always one of the highlights of the range chez Lignier, the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Vieilles Vignes is lovely, offering up aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with hints of licorice, mint and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, sapid finish, it's one 2021 that's built for the cellar.

91-93 Neal Martin - Vinous Media

A blend of Faconnières and Les Chenevery, the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru, has an earthy bouquet, touches of liquorice infusing the red berry fruit, then becoming saline with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, quite fleshy. Not as complex as other recent vintages but cohesive and sustained on the finish with a minerally aftertaste. Give it time in bottle.

The 2004 Champagne Blanc de Blancs La Vigne d'Antan Brut Nature is 100% Chardonnay from ungrafted vines on sandy soils that face northwest. This is an exceptional wine. The nose is pretty and refined, with white flowers, marzipan, and lemon curd. It is supple, with a pillowy mousse, and has layers of complexity and depth, with custard, soft wet stone, and white peach. The palate is dry and certainly has mineral and energetic tension, but it feels balanced and not austere. Drink 2023-2043. Disgorged June of 2021.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 21 months in French oak, 60% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up gregarious notes of crushed blackberries, ripe black cherries and blackcurrant cordial with hints of mocha, bay leaves and black licorice plus a waft of cedar. Big, concentrated, full-bodied and jam-packed with black fruit flavors, it has a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and layered. 400 cases were made.
