Wine Advocate (97)The 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, and the Cabernet Sauvignon logically feels and tastes most prominent. This is a dark and penetrating Tuscan red that is beautifully elevated, thanks to the extremely elegant and buoyant quality of the aromas. They lift gracefully from the glass with light-footed, almost fleeting character. However, don't underestimate the power and the concentration of the wine, because this vintage delivers both with abundance. I've had my eye on this estate since the vineyards were first planted some 20 years ago, and there is no doubt that this vintage brings Tenuta Argentiera into a new era as a Bolgheri protagonist. Some 80,000 bottles were made. |

Decanter (96)Despite its position at the southern end of the appellation Tenuta Argentiera is one of the highest estates in Bolgheri, with vineyards between 120 and 240 metres above sea level providing the grapes for this wine. The altitude increases the night and day average temperature differences, improving phenolic ripeness. The conversion from cordon to guyot training is increasing the freshness of the grapes. The blend doesn’t change, remaining 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. In 2017 the winery decided to avoid the production of Ventaglio, the 100% Cabernet Franc cru. Argentiera, however, is really good, confirming the usual grace of the wine with more density and power. On the nose a funky note of merde de poule follows clean, dark fruits with buttery and slightly leafy aromas, while the firm yet ripe palate ends with a dark chocolate character. |

Wine Advocate (94+)This is the wine that started it all. Benanti's Pietra Marina wine started a quarter century ago, and its success is what put Etna—especially its white wines—on the map of the world's best wine territories. The 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina has a flinty note or reduction that cedes to preserved lemon, Bartlett pear and crushed oyster shell. It ages in stainless steel for 30 months, followed by 12 additional months in bottle. The fruit comes from a two-hectare site with acidic soils (with a pH of 6.2) that are rich in minerals, located on the eastern side of Etna at a cool 800 meters in elevation.

Vinous (92)Bright medium red. Sexy perfume of redcurrant, dark cherry, dried herbs and spices. Spicy, juicy and very dry but shows more floral lift than the Volnay Clos des Chènes. Precise and penetrating thanks to its strong mineral energy. Finishes with noble tannins that avoid the toughness of the Clos des Chènes and slowly building, savory persistence. Bouley told me that 55% of the crop was lost to hail and that partly for this reason he destemmed all of his fruit. |

Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's mineral and fine-boned, reflecting its origins in the thinner, calcareous soils of Rugiens-Hauts that have little in common with the iron-rich clays of Rugiens-Bas. Long and penetrating, it's beautifully refined. |

Wine Advocate (95-96)From the Puligny side of that cru, Jadot’s 2006 Batard-Montrachet from both purchased juice and grapes delivers vivid scents of saffron, jasmine, vanilla, musk, brown spices, and ripe peach. Vibrant – virtually electric – on the palate, yet all the while creamy in texture, here is a wine to make one firmly believe in the house proclivity to retain some malic acid. Blind, I might have imagined – at least until further reflection, and recognition of this wine’s sheer power – that I was drinking the Marcobrunn Riesling of my dreams. The persistence of fruit and spice here are as formidable as the foregoing features led one to hope. |

Vinous (92)Bright medium red. Sexy perfume of redcurrant, dark cherry, dried herbs and spices. Spicy, juicy and very dry but shows more floral lift than the Volnay Clos des Chènes. Precise and penetrating thanks to its strong mineral energy. Finishes with noble tannins that avoid the toughness of the Clos des Chènes and slowly building, savory persistence. Bouley told me that 55% of the crop was lost to hail and that partly for this reason he destemmed all of his fruit. |

Wine Advocate (94+)The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens has also turned out very well indeed, mingling aromas of cherries and red berries with hints of licorice, forest floor and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's mineral and fine-boned, reflecting its origins in the thinner, calcareous soils of Rugiens-Hauts that have little in common with the iron-rich clays of Rugiens-Bas. Long and penetrating, it's beautifully refined. |

Vinous (94)White peach, apple and lime are accented by their pits and pits as well as by raw almond on an enticing nose highly reminiscent of that exhibited by the corresponding 2016. Scents of Ceylon tea and spring beauty (Claytonia) add inner-mouth allure. The feel is flatteringly silken, notwithstanding the persistence of stimulating piquancy. Infectious juiciness, along with an invigoratingly tactile, active sense of crystalline stony impingement, dramatically sets this wine’s vibrant, bell-clear finish apart from that of its Höllberg sibling. |

Vinous (93)An intriguing mélange of stony, marine and herbal notes emerges on the nose. Mustard seed, lemon zest and marjoram further one’s anticipation of a pungent palate performance featuring active, tactile impingements, and that is what one gets – in spades. Sappy concentration of white peach serves for sensual satisfaction that persists into a vibrant, invigoratingly smoky, zesty and incisive but also consummately refreshing finish. “I’m especially happy that this Heerkretz exhibits such precision and is so little recognizable as a 2018,” remarked Wagner. |

Wine Advocate (95-96)From the Puligny side of that cru, Jadot’s 2006 Batard-Montrachet from both purchased juice and grapes delivers vivid scents of saffron, jasmine, vanilla, musk, brown spices, and ripe peach. Vibrant – virtually electric – on the palate, yet all the while creamy in texture, here is a wine to make one firmly believe in the house proclivity to retain some malic acid. Blind, I might have imagined – at least until further reflection, and recognition of this wine’s sheer power – that I was drinking the Marcobrunn Riesling of my dreams. The persistence of fruit and spice here are as formidable as the foregoing features led one to hope. |
