From the outstanding vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, "Lots of big, dark fruit and a lack of water in the grapes define the unique personality of the 2017 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia. This is a highly extracted and succulent expression that delivers abundant fruit sweetness. The key to this vintage was waiting for proper ripeness, says estate manager and winemaker Axel Heinz.

From the outstanding 2001 vintage and scoring 93/100 Parker points, "The sensational 2001 Vacqueyras Cuvee Lopy is a candidate for this appellations wine of the vintage.

Powerful and rich, with layers of concentration, and a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this huge, spectacular Vacqueyras is impeccably well-balanced.

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points, 'Ive always loved the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape from Paul Versino, and it has drunk well since release. Full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling, with some still-present tannin, it has a core of sweet, ripe cherry fruit, licorice, sweaty saddle leather and garrigue. At the end of the day, I think the tannin will win the battle with the fruit, but this beauty has loads of Provencal charm and will continue drinking nicely for 4-5 years, if not longer."

From the outstanding 2007 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker Points, "As for the equally deep ruby/purple-colored 2007 Seguret Grande Reserve, this wine has much more licorice and more depth and body, but displays a similar aromatic and flavor profile. It is broad, expansive, and voluptuously textured, with stunning depth and richness. This is about as good as Seguret can be and actually competes with wines that are much more costly.
