2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo

"Pouring a jeweled ruby hue, the 2019 Barolo is lovely and detailed, with floral perfume and notes of candied roses, raspberry preserves, and sweet baking spices. This medium-bodied red is mouthwatering from the start and is balanced with ripe red berries, orange peel, and cinnamon. Fine yet present tannins are propelled forward by fresh acidity and a mineral-tinged finish."

2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bricco Ambrogio

"Moving into the single cru wines, the 2019 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is lifted and appealing, with spice and floral notes weaving together, along with wild strawberry, candied flowers, and fresh sage. This continues gracefully to the palate while taking on the tension and linear drive that readers should come to expect from the 2019 vintage. Medium-bodied and long on the palate, it has present but refined tannins throughout."

2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero

"Coming from Verduno, the 2019 Barolo Monvigliero is nuanced with spices and floral elegance and is pure and ripe with raspberry liqueur, rose petal, peppercorn, and cedar. This medium-bodied red is svelte and refined while having good concentration and drive, with notes of pomegranate, orange zest, and dusty earth. Zesty and lifted, this will take another couple of years to open and mature into the graceful wine it is destined to become."

2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric del Fiasc

"The 2019 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is the hallmark wine of the estate, and it shows. Taking on more concentration, it is pure and generous with kirsch, star anise, nutmeg, and menthol and moves impressively to the palate with ease and nobility. It offers fantastic depth while remaining true to the vintage and propels forward through an arch of acidity, while having grounded notes of Earl Grey tea, black cherry, and crushed stones as well as ripe tannins."

2020 Domaine Jean Louis Chave Saint Joseph

"As with the 2020 L'Hermitage, I tasted this wine in its components, shortly before blending and bottling. This vintage is highly successful at Chave, and this wine, which would qualify as the gateway bottling made from estate fruit, looks to be outstanding, with juicy spice-laced red and blue fruit character of notewaorthy freshness, plus strong florality and mineral drive. I was also struck by the fineness of the tannins, which will likely make the final wine deceptively approachable on release. Don't be fooled - this wine has a long and enviable track record for rewarding patience."

96-97 points

2020 Domaine Jean Louis Chave L'Hermitage Blanc

"I tasted five different lots that will be blended into the 2020 Hermitage Blanc, from Peleat, l'Ermite and three parts of Les Rocoules. Full-bodied, honeyed and rich, this should be another outstanding vintage for Chave's white, with the incredible lushness of the bigger wines balanced by the zestiness found at the top of Les Rocoules and the delicacy and freshness of L'Ermite."

96-98 points

2020 Domaine Jean Louis Chave L'Hermitage Rouge

Tasted in components, before the final blending and rest before bottling, this wine is shaping up to be monumental, and it's from a domaine that has made far more than a few remarkable wines. There's intense dark fruit, suave floral and exotic spice character and a deep, energizing core of minerality, plus hints of olive, botanical herbs, licorice and smoked meat. But ultimately, it mainly focuses on powerful, vibrant fruit and floral qualities, maiking it a particularly elegant rendition of the appellation."

2022 Chateau Cheval Blanc Saint-Emilion

*3 bottles minimum / 12 bottles maximum

"The 2022 Cheval Blanc is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Deep, seamless and striking in its beauty, the 2022 possesses pedigree to burn. Readers will find a sumptuous wine, but there’s plenty of tannin lurking beneath all of that intensity. In fact, the 2022 is the most tannic Cheval since 2010. The aromatics are surprisingly vibrant for a wine from a warm, dry year. The wine's energy is palpable. The 100% new oak is not all perceptible, which is another sign of top-notch balance. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of exotic Franc notes, followed by blood orange, red fruit, mind and dried herb touches. Once again, Cheval Blanc represents a pinnacle of excellence. Readers should note there is no Petit Cheval in 2022."

98-100 points

2022 Chateau Angelus Saint-Emilion

*3 bottles minimum / 12 bottles maximum

"Looking at the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château Angélus is based on 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot that will spend 22 months in new French oak, with a portion of the Cabernet Franc aged in foudre. This estate doesn't put a foot wrong, and this is clearly a profound Angélus with a deep purple, almost blue hue, extraordinary notes of cassis, blueberry liqueur, acacia flowers, and scorched earth, full-bodied richness, building tannins, and a dense, concentrated mid-palate, all of which is grounded by a vibrant sense of freshness and purity. While older vintages were more closed and backward on release, this has a certain accessibility given its balance and purity, and I suspect it will offer incredible pleasure right out of the gate. It will evolve for 40+ years as well."

97-99 points

2022 Le Carillon d'Angelus Saint-Emilion

"The true second wine of this reference point estate is the 2022 Carillon De Angelus, which is 90% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that’s resting in 60% new barrels. It has beautiful cassis and almost blue-tinged fruits as well as medium to full body, nicely integrated oak, some spicy, graphite, and floral nuances, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It doesn't taste like a second wine and will give many a Grand Vin a run for their money."

93-95 points

2022 Chateau Moulin St Georges Saint-Emilion

"The 2022 Moulin Saint-Georges is quite rich and dense in this vintage, as is to be expected. Super-ripe red cherry fruit, blood orange, menthol, spice and leather fill out the layers in a Saint-Émilion that boasts tons of fruit density and the tannins to match. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Readers should expect a Moulin Saint-Georges that is more power than finesse. I imagine the 2022 will age beautifully on its fruit. It could very well turn out to be a sleeper in this vintage. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc picked between September 19 and 26. Aging is projected to be 18 months in French oak."

90-93 points

2020 Chateau de Fonbel Saint-Emilion

"A juicy and flavorful red with lots of red fruits, currants, cloves and some nutmeg. It's full and layered with lots of fruit. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% carmenere."

92-93 points

2019 Louis Jadot Chateau des Jacques Morgon

"Lots of plums, blue and black fruits, earth, chocolate, and hints of earth all emerge from the 2022 Château Tronquoy-Lalande, a full-bodied, pure, powerful Saint-Estephe with impressive tannins and a great finish. It shows more floral and red-fruited nuances with time in the glass, and this is clearly a beautiful wine in the making. It shows the ripeness of the vintage while staying pure, balanced, and seamless."

95-97 points

2022 Chateau Leoville Barton Saint-Julien

"One of the stars of the Medoc and a wine likely to equal or surpass its 2019 and 2016 counterparts, the 2022 Leoville Barton unwinds in the glass with deep aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, spices and tobacco leaf, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's vibrant, pure and seamless, with beautifully classy tannins and a long, penetrating finish. The 2022 is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.5% Merlot and 5.5% Cabernet Franc; and it's the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot harvesting and vinification, along with a number of other technical improvements which translate into enhanced purity and precision."

(96-97)+ points

2022 Chateau Langoa Barton Saint-Julien

"The first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot vinification, the brilliant 2022 Langoa Barton offers up aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate endowed with terrific depth and tension. Polished and penetrating, it should match or even surpass the 2019 and 2016 vintages, and it is sure to be one of the more intelligent purchases of the en primeur campaign."

(93-95)+ points

2022 Chateau Mauvesin Barton Moulis

"The 2022 Mauvesin Barton is a joy to taste today. Plump, juicy and forward, the 2022 is marvelously seductive right out of the gate. Expressive floral and spice notes lend complexity to the sweet red cherry/plum fruit. Soft, caressing contours add a gorgeous sense of immediacy."

90-92 points

2022 Chateau Siran Margaux

"The 2022 Siran is one of the best wines I have tasted from the property. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, Siran is exceptionally polished. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, chalk and white pepper all grace this exquisite Margaux. Superb."

93-95 points

2022 Chateau Lespault-Martillac Pessac-Leognan

"The 2022 Château Lespault-Martillac is mostly Merlot but includes 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It has beautiful purity in its ripe red and blue fruits as well as classic Graves smoked earth, tobacco, graphite, and spice aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's nicely balanced, has quality tannins, and a great finish. At the very least, it will be an outstanding wine and could be a real superstar of a 2022. Tasted twice."

2021 Perennial Pinot Noir by Flowers

When our buyers and a small group of discerning wine managers paid a recent visit to our friends at Flowers, they tasted through many distinguished lots of wine. When the 2021 Perennial pinot noir was presented, they jumped at the opportunity to make it a Binny’s exclusive.

Layers of fresh plum, black cherry, aromatic brown spices and a gorgeous floral top note in the nose. The first sip explodes with freshly picked tart cherry, strawberry and plum followed by a long silky finish marked by refreshing acidity and a vivid but nuanced array of complexly interwoven notions of fruit, herbs, spices and texture.

Campo di Fiori Pinot Grigio

Rich and round, with honeydew and pear notes followed by lime hints in the finish. A white wine that you can enjoy any time of the year.

Fable Roots Red Blend

Plush on the palate, with plums and soaked cherries laced with cocoa and cinnamon. Bold, juicy, and flavorful - this will shine with hearty fare or on its own.

Sirena Del Mare Rose

Fuller-bodied yet mouthwatering, with strawberries, peaches, and apricots drawing you in. This is a richer take on rose where ripe fruit takes center stage.
