This wine received near-perfect scores in every wine publication, here's the Robert Parker review: "Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by firm, powdery tannins and lively acids. The most brooding, backward Lynch-Bages of the decade and one of the real successes of the vintage, this is a vibrant, tightly wound wine that is still an infant at age 10. Readers with bottles in their cellars might try one now out of curiosity, but this 2010 won't begin to hit its stride until age 20" 97 points, Feb 28/2022.

100 - Points, Wine Advocate: The 2022 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande has turned out even better in bottle than I anticipated, bursting from the glass with aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with scents of licorice, violets and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's suave, seamless and complete, with faultless precision, pristine integration of tannin, controlled sweetness and a long, expansive finish. The 2022 manages to unite the sensuality that's the estate's calling card and the ripeness of the vintage on the one hand, with a sense of Pauillac classicism on the other, threading the needle to deliver one of the finest wines of the vintage and a benchmark Pichon Comtesse. It's a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in barriques (three months more than was formerly the case), two-thirds of which were new. As I wrote en primeur, there's more than a hint of the 1982 about this wine, and like the 1982, the 2022 will offer an exceptionally wide drinking window.

This historic property dates back to 1834, when it was owned by agronomist Giorgio Perrin, owner of Petrolo and member of the Accademia dei Gergofili of Florence. He celebrated Sangiovese and this land, especially a spot called Campo Asciutto (now Bòggina), explaining how it was common practice at the time to plant “French grapes” in Chianti to blend with Sangiovese, in soils that favour specific varietals. The estate was acquired in the 40s by the Bazzocchi family who followed the tradition of carefully producing high-quality wines with utter commitment. The characteristics of this area add to its value; the land of Petrolo, where vineyards, olive groves and woods coexist, living side by side, forming a rich ecosystem that contributes to the perfect balance between the different grape varieties. The vineyard extends for three ha and was planted in 1990 on soils with a higher concentration of clay. Galatrona is the first Merlot vineyard that Petrolo planted, and it, along with Sassacia, is Italy's equivalent to first-growth Bordeaux.

Podere Forte's top-end wine is made from 100% estate-grown Cabernet Franc, nurtured in vineyards above 525m. “The name comes from the rock that used to guard the vines. I mix up – I have to mix up – History and Fable. The Fable of a great Tuscan wine.” - Pasquale Forte
The Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, encircles the Podere Forte. The estate was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, a visionary entrepreneur who has created a balanced system where every element complements the others, following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The old concept of the corte romana has been recreated on the 500-ha estate: a place where people, plants and animals coexist in harmony and sustainable self-sufficiency. Wine is the main focus, but Podere Forte is also synonymous with the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs, Chianina cattle and Suffolk sheep, as well as various other farm animals, all living on biodynamic feed. Podere Forte produces its own fertilizers and compost using vine prunings and fallen timber from the woods. The pigs eat acorns and chestnuts in the woods where they roam freely, the bees pollinate the flowers and aromatic herbs in the botanic garden where the hives are. The olive groves cover around 26 hectares and in 2020 production of the first varietal oil, from the Frantoio variety, started.

The Dominus Napanook vineyard is nestled in a natural amphitheatre at the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains on the west side of the Napa Valley. Fed by winter rains, its underground springs flow through ancient riverbeds and provide a natural supply of water to its grapevines, allowing them to develop deep roots which in turn allow them to dry farm. It was here, in 1838, that George Yount planted Napa Valley’s very first vines. In 1983, Christian Moueix - of Chateau Petrus fame -began producing Dominus from this historic Napanook vineyard in Yountville, and within a short period of time, it has risen to become one of the most sought-after and highly awarded wines in Napa Valley.
