Wine EnthusiastFruity aromas of wild red berry align with earthy notes of forest floor, new leather and fragrant purple flower. The smooth ripe palate offers juicy Morello cherry, star anise, orange zest and an earthy hint of game. It's savory and loaded with personality. Drink 2021-2028.

Wine AdvocateLisini's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a delightful appearance that sees shades of garnet and dark ruby blend into one. The bouquet is sprightly and buoyant, thanks to a pretty ensemble of wild berry, licorice and grilled herb aromas. Those are mixed with heavier background tones of spice and leather. There is also a noticeable floral note of wild rose and dried jasmine. This is a silky and smooth Brunello with a hint of fresh acidity on the close.

Campo Al Mare Bolgheri 2015
Bolgheri's exceptional climate is moderated by sea breezes from the nearby Tirrhenian Sea, and the vineyards' clay and sand soils are ideal for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The delicate Merlot was picked during the first half of September, while the robust Cabernets and Petit Verdot were harvested in the second half of the month. Grapes come from densely planted vineyards and low yields, which produce wines with concentration and complexity. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and maceration on the skins takes 20-22 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in steel. The wine is matured 12 months in one-year-old French barriques and at least 3 months in bottle before release.

Frederic Esmonin Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 2016
Esmonin is becoming one of the most consistent, high quality producers in Gevrey. They are now using a new bladder-press and have excellent control over the amount of pressure exerted on the grapes, which are picked only when they have reached ideal ripeness. After a short cold maceration gives the wines an extra dimension of fruit, they are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels of Allier and Nevers forest wood made by Radoux and Berthomieu, two of the very best coopers. Wines are aged in barrels of varying age and toast and then blended in order to achieve optimum balance and complexity.

Domaine de la Charbonniere Vacqueyras 2015
Domaine de la Charbonnière spreads over 19.52 hectares of Châteauneuf du Pape; 5.79 ha of Vacqueyras and 1.51 ha of Côtes du Rhône. Today, all wines are vinified by Véronique Maret. The simple act of opening a bottle is far from trivial. Each one tells a story. Each vintage is unique because soils and climate conditions determine the wines' character. They do all they can to retain the freshness, to reflect the terroir, and to produce opulent, delicious wines. The vinification lasts depending on the personality of the wines and the vintage's characteristics from 2 to 5 weeks. They believe in non-interventionist winemaking to maintain the wine's balance. This entails gentle extraction and long, careful ageing. The red wines from different terroirs/lieu-dits are kept in separate containers: large oak foudres, large oak vats, enamelled vats, small barrels and demi-muids (for Syrah and Mourvèdre). They produce wonderfully well balanced wines that combine intensity and depth of fruit with finesse and elegance. Their wines have been distinguished repeatedly by the most prestigious journalists of the World.
