THE GASK 2021-Torbreck Vintners
The 2021 The Gask is 100% Shiraz from the Eden Valley. The wine itself is brooding and black, with blue fruits and a muscularity in the mouth. It has length of flavor and line, and the tannins that infuse the fruit are intense and savory. There are notes of black tea, resin, chewing tobacco, black pepper, blackberry and cassis. This is a ripping wine. It is elegant and full-bodied at once—svelte, huge, awesome.

PIPER-HEIDSIECK CHAMPAGNE ESSENTIEL BLANC DE BLANCS EXTRA BRUT-Piper-Heidsieck
Sourced from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Sézannais, it reveals an expressive bouquet of pear, white peach and yuzu, mingling with notes of candied citrus, freshly baked bread and a hint of smoky reduction. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fleshy and charming, with racy acidity and a pillowy mousse that leads to a long, toasty finish.

CHAMPAGNE PHILIPPONNAT RESERVE PERPETUELLE NON DOSE 2021-Philipponnat
Made from 44% wine from the 2021 vintage and 56% reserve wines maintained in a perpetual reserve, Philipponnat’s NV Réserve Perpétuelle Non Dosé—the new designation for what was previously Royale Réserve Non Dosé—was disgorged in December 2024 without dosage. It bursts from the glass with aromas evocative of green apple, lemon leaf and delicate early-blooming white flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and vibrant, driven by incisive acidity and concluding with a chalky, bone-dry finish. Unsurprisingly, with a base year such as this and in the absence of dosage, it presents a more tightly woven profile than its Brut counterpart—an expression likely to resonate more deeply with purists.

NIEPOORT PORT VINTAGE 2022-Niepoort
Niepoort's 2022 Vintage Port comes from very old vines in the Cima Corgo zone (mostly around Pinhão), all made in lagar with 100% full clusters and matured in large (5,000- to 10,000-liter) oak vats. Dirk Niepoort wants a combination of powerful, classical vineyards with others he likes because of their elegance. The wine has a lot more finesse, but it's a little backwards and closed and took a good couple of hours to take off. It's chewy and long, with a lot of tannin, but the tannins are very refined. It has power and concentration; Niepoort wants a lot of concentration, unlike in the table wines, but the wine has an ethereal quality to it. Power and lightness—it's a wine that dances and has the energy of a ballet dancer, very long and with a dry finish. It has some 95 grams of sugar, less that it usually has, and the sugar is very integrated.

LUCENTE 2022-Luce della Vite
This is a mid-tier blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. The Tenuta Luce 2022 Lucente opens to an inky black appearance. The wine shows oak-driven aromas of cedar and pinewood. But the effect is quite soft and hydrated. You get barbecued flavors and a hint of hickory meat. All the elements are there to underline an international-minded red blend.

LANZAGA 2021-Telmo Rodriguez
The Rioja red 2021 Lanzaga is their village wine from Lanciego (but it's crossed out on the label). It's subtler but powerful and produced each year with better vineyards. The vines are getting older, and there is more of a varietal mix (it has only 55% Tempranillo) with lots of Garnacha and Graciano. It's perfumed and clean, a great result of a blending exercise, with integrated oak. It has 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.7 and moderate acidity, but there's a sense of much more freshness, with very fine and elegant tannins, velvety, the signature of the year. It doesn't have a Burgundy bottle, and it's not sealed with wax, but it's a lot more elegant and with a profile that has gradually changed since 2014 or 2015. It matured in 1,500- and 2,500-liter oak vats and some 225-liter barrels for 14 months. It's probably better than ever.

DOMAINE LE MOURRE CHATEAUNNEUF-DU-PAPE 2022-Cellier des Princes
The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine le Mourre is a charming, vibrant effort offering aromas of flowers, dark cherries, spices and garrigue. Medium-bodied, fleshier and juicier than the Cuvée Sainte Vierge, it's layered and delicate with good depth at the core and a long, fresh, penetrating finish. Destemmed and matured for 18 months in concrete tanks, it is derived from vines planted on equal parts of galets roulés and safres.

CUVEE RESERVEE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2022-Domaine du Pegau
A quick assemblage from foudres of the 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée reveals a dark-fruited, spicy style, enlivened by hints of violets and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and densely concentrated, with a long, silky finish, it looks to be a near-carbon copy of the stunning, cellar-worthy 2019.

CUVEE RESERVEE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2023-Domaine du Pegau
A quick assemblage from foudres of the 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée reveals a dark-fruited, spicy style, enlivened by hints of violets and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and densely concentrated, with a long, silky finish, it looks to be a near-carbon copy of the stunning, cellar-worthy 2019.

PIEROPAN LA ROCCA 2023-Pieropan
Celebrating its milestone 45th anniversary (1978–2023), the Pieropan 2023 Soave Classico La Rocca shines with golden intensity and offers a compelling bouquet that draws from both the character of Garganega and from careful oak aging. This 100% Garganega is aged in 500-liter French and Slavonian oak for 15 months. Varietal tones include stone fruit, preserved lemon and crushed oyster shell. Oak nuances of nutmeg and saffron add framing and depth.

PIEROPAN CALVARINO 2023-Pieropan
This is always one of my favorite wines from Pieropan. Fruit comes from an 8.5-hectare cru planted in 1971 on volcanic soils, and the wine is aged in cement vats for a prolonged 15 months. The organic 2023 Soave Classico Calvarino (made with 70% Garganega and 30% Trebbiano di Soave) is a real beauty, with textural heft and an especially silky approach that wraps smoothly over the palate. The bouquet is beautifully complex with hints of honey, apricot and poached apple. I love the intensity and the seamless quality of this mid-weight white. Salty mineral nuances fuel an elegant mouthfeel

LOUIS MICHEL & FILS CHABLIS SECHETS PREMIER CRU 2022-Domaine Louis Michel & Fils
From another court-noué-impacted parcel that produces relatively small yields—35 hectoliters per hectare, to be precise—the 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Séchets is exhibiting notes of white flowers, lemon peel and beeswax mingling with oyster shell. It is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and racy, with a long, pungently intense finish. Together with Butteaux Vieilles Vignes, it’s one of the highlights of Michel’s premiers crus.
