Drinking Window: 2025 - 2031 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 93 RP, 92 JS Region: VT Castilla-Leon ABV: 13.00% "Fresh and sharp whisper born from a small harvest, definded by frosts that imparted character. It is not just a verdejo: with its chalky minerality and freshness that awakens the senses, it invites you to a savour it leisurely. Its long, dry finish lingers playfully on the palate, like an irreverent wink for those who enjoy with style. A serious, elegant white and deliciously daring". Do not let this price point question the quality of the wine, with 60%of the juice being made from 100 to 200 year old vines and entering the summer months, this wine is certain to be a crowd pleaser." – Luis Guitierrez - Wine Advocate: June 2025

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2050 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 99 JA, 98 Falstaff, 98 VV Region: Bolgheri ABV: 14.5% "A dark ruby red colour. Quite a memorable nose, lots of juicy fruit, especially cassis and blueberry, with some smokey notes in the background. Fresh and surprisingly juicy on the palate, grippy, with very well- integrated tannins, good tension, lingers well, a bottle that you simply love to empty!" * Falstaff - Tasted: Oct.2022

Next, it it’s the perfume with its black, blue, and red fruits, incense, curry, flowers, smoke and herbs. Opulent, restrained, elegant and powerful, the wine comes in layers. You can sense the array of exotic spices, mint, blue and black fruits, crushed rocks, black cherries and white pepper on the palate. Full-bodied and dense, the wine somehow remains light on its feet. The end notes, meshing elegance and power bring everything together, as the finish crosses the 60 second mark. This is perhaps even better than the perfect, 2016!" * Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider - Tasted: May 2023

Drinking Window: 2030 - 2050 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 98 VWM. 98 RV, 98 OC, 98 GL Region: Bolgheri ABV: 13.5% "The 2022 Sassicaia is a particularly impressive achievement. In a vintage characterized by significant heat and drought, Tenuta San Guido has once again proven why this estate is in a league of its own. This is a triumph of terroir and timing, delivering a wine of aristocratic elegance and surprising freshness that defies the season. While many 2022's from Bolgheri are opulent and broad, Sassicaia remains steadfastly classic. The estate's decisions to harvest early to preserve acidity has paid off distinctively. The nose is deep and introspective, offering a sophisticated blend of creme de cassis, wild blackberry, and dark plum, lifted by signature notes of Mediterranean herbs, cedar, graphite, and a touch of fresh mint. It possesses a dense core of fruit, yet it feels weightless and energetic, driven by a vibrant spine of acidity. The tannins are incredibly fine-grained and polished, providing a seamless structure that guides the wine to an exceptionally long, savory finish." * Orazio Campoli - Tasted: Dec. 2025

Elegant hints of earth, wet stone and oak on the nose, reminiscent of chocolate powder, black elderberries and some mint after a little airing. Pithy on the palate, with tight-knit, grippy tannins, lots of juiciness, shows good tension, on the graphite, shows vertical progression, powerful finish." * Falstaff - Tasted: Sept. 2025

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2040 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 94 JS Region: Spain ABV: 15% “Dark mushrooms, spices and leather with cedar and black plums. Ripe yet juicy with plenty of blackberries and a twist of citrus and vanilla. Medium-to-full-bodied with dusty tannins and a very lengthy finish. Pretty traditional and linear, this Rioja is excellent to drink now but will benefit from extra time in the bottle. ” * Zekun Shual,- James Suckling

The fine, discreet effervescence transports us to a realm of elegance and refinement. Notes of flint marks the origin of this historic Verzy terroir. The long finish, both saline and chalky, confirms the exceptional terroir and quality of this Verzy 2014." * Winery Notes

Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035 Size: 750mL Critic Scores: 95 Decanter Region: Willamette Valley - Oregon ABV: 13.5%"Deep and Shiny red. An explosive nose of strawberries and raspberries melted. A touch of pink pepper exalts aromas. The mouth is open to very fresh energy carried on by a discreet acidity. Silkiness is present, but in its youngest stage and a few years will help tannins already supple to express more richness. " * Winery Notes
