96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"One of the top Merlots in the
report is certainly the 2016 Merlot Howell Mountain from La Jota. This
fabulous wine boasts a deep purple color as well as a true “wow” nose of
blackberries, ripe cherries, spice, bay leaf, and ample savory, complex
herbal notes. It’s medium to full-bodied, has a layered, balanced
style, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Drink it any time over the
coming two decades." - Jeb Dunnuck (1/31/2019)
95 Points & #37 Top 100 Wines of 2019 Wine Spectator Magazine:
"An
elegant style, featuring lilting flavors of red currant and dried
raspberry that show hints of cedar and paprika. Fine-edged, with savory
richness midpalate. Dried green herbal notes emerge on the minerally
finish. Drink now through 2026. 1,657 cases made." - KM (Issue Nov 30,
2019)

92 Points & #4 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
In
2018, Heaven Hill discontinued its 6 year old bottled in bond bourbon
that was sold only in Kentucky, but now has roared back with this widely
available 7 year old. While the bottled in bond designation isn’t
necessarily a quality guarantee, this whiskey more than proves its
merit. It’s explosive, bold, and buttery, with warm flavors of
honey-roasted peanuts, caramel, chocolate, corn muffins, licorice, and
cinnamon, all accented by notes of savory herbs, cloves, white pepper,
tobacco, and an earthy undertone. Well-integrated big oak, sweetness,
and spice combine to create grace, power, and length. This is pure
bourbon bliss, at a very approachable price. —David Fleming

91 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Even better is the sensational medium-ruby-colored 2011 Rosé Brut Reserva, a blend of 60% Monastrell, 20% Garnacha and 20% Pinot Noir. Crisp, persistent notes of citrus blossom, green apples and hints of brioche and grapefruit are found in this light-bodied, refreshing, reasonably dry sparkling wine.

92 Points & #9 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whiskey Advocate:
"This Quinta Ruban succeeds the 12 year old version, adding two additional years of finishing in port casks, while maintaining the same bargain price. The result is a symphony of understated opulence. Marzipan, fresh apple and pear, milk chocolate, red berries, candied ginger, and praline on the nose build slowly, leading into a fruity, spiced palate. Flavors of soft gingerbread, molasses cake, cherry pie, spiced plums, almond nougat, and dark chocolate intermingle with faint strains of pipe tobacco. It sings on the finish, with a parting crescendo of hazelnut, spice, cigar wrapper, and lengthy oak." — Susannah Skiver Barton

About the Winery:

93 Points & #8 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
A riddle inside a bottle, this release follows Glenlivet’s previous
mystery series bottlings Alpha, Cipher, and Code. Packaged in a
jet-black bottle and box that look part Arthur C. Clarke monolith and
part 3-D cryptic crossword puzzle, it’s devoid of cask information or
tasting notes by design. The best solution is to open it and unlock the
whisky’s secrets. Classic Glenlivet notes of lemon curd, melon, fresh
peaches, bitter orange, and baked apples on the nose, followed by a
smooth, creamy palate of marshmallow, toasted almond, marzipan, and
lemon iced tea. The long, vibrant finish is replete with crème brûlée,
sultana, cinnamon, and tropical fruit. —Jonny McCormick

96+ Points - Vinous:
"The
2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Brothers is the best wine I have tasted from
Diana Snowden-Seysses. Rich, explosive and savory, the 2016 dazzles with
intensity in all of its dimensions. Graphite, smoke, savory herbs and
spice notes wrap around a core of dark fruit in a vertical, towering
Cabernet Sauvignon that captures all the vintage has to offer. " Antonio
Galloni - (Dec 2018)
94 Points & #91 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Offers a tasty core of plum and blackberry fruit, backed by lively

hold." - (1 May, 2019)

96 Points & #9 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Think of RWT as an alter ego to Penfolds’ flagship Grange bottling;
Grange is a multiregion blend of old-vine Shiraz from around South
Australia and aged in American oak, while RWT is an expression of a
single region and aged in French oak. Here the purity of Barossa Shiraz
is complemented by a creamy, rich texture. Named “Red Winemaking Trial”
during its development in the mid-1990s, this wine is no longer an
experiment, but the name stuck and RWT has become a classic in its own
right. The winemaking is overseen by Penfolds veteran Peter Gago.
Tasting Note:
Offers a lush, juicy mix of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry
flavors that appears seamless, integrating with notes of amaretto, clove
and lavender. Plush, juicy and very generous on the long, expressive
finish. Drink now through 2034." — MaryAnn Worobiec (Nov. 30, 2019)

93 Points & #3 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
The
limited-edition releases from Four Roses are always top-notch, but this
bourbon—a permanently available addition to the lineup—proves itself
every bit the equal of its rarer brethren. Made with the distillery’s F
yeast strain, among others, it has a perfumed nose, with orange blossom,
cedar chest, berries, spearmint, tobacco leaves, sassafras, licorice,
and layers of earthy spice. The palate is consistent and deep, with
flavors of cherry Coke, cough syrup, orange oil, leathery dark fruit,
black pepper, chili flakes, and chocolate, shifting into a minty finish
replete with pepper, cinnamon, dark chocolate, cooked berries, and
roasted walnuts. Full, rich, and utterly satisfying. —Susannah Skiver
Barton

92 Points & #95 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:

93 Points & #5 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
"The
yin to Aberlour A’bunadh’s yang, this cask-strength single malt is
matured entirely in bourbon casks rather than sherry. The result is a
bracingly pure whisky with deceptive simplicity; its flavors are clean
and its structure precise, but it’s far from boring. The nose recalls
black-and-white cookies, vanilla-frosted yellow cake, and shortbread
with caramel topping, along with honeysuckle, jasmine, and coconut
cream. Mouth-coating and full, it has flavors of poached pear, malt
balls, nougat, lemon curd, toasted coconut, and hints of spice. Vanilla,
chocolate, and nut flavors are almost endless on the finish. Add water,
or don’t: this is delicious either way." — Susannah Skiver Barton

94 Points & #26 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"This is broad and incisive, delivering black currant, plum, leather, earth and wild herb flavors. Dense and beefy, yet with ample fruit for balance, driven by vibrant acidity.

100 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Coming from the genius
winemaking talent of Nicolas Glumineau, the 2016 Château Pichon
Longueville Comtesse de Lalande matches the 1982 and is a perfect,
legendary wine in the making. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21%
Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc brought up in 60% new oak, it's not the
most powerful Left Bank but offers perfect balance and thrilling
intensity as well as heavenly aromatics of crème de cassis, leafy herbs,
jammy blackberries, tobacco leaf, and freshly sharpened lead pencils as
well as more violets and minerality with time in the glass. Possessing a
deep, full-bodied, singular character, the purity of fruit that's the
hallmark of the vintage, building tannins, and a sense of class and
elegance that's hard to describe, it's a 50-year-wine. While this cuvée
has included a fair chunk of Merlot in the past that gave it more
upfront appeal, it's important for readers to know it's much more
Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated today, and while it is slightly more
approachable than some of its neighbors, it shuts down rather quickly
with time in the glass. (I followed this wine for multiple days.) I
suspect a solid decade of cellaring is warranted." - Jeb Dunnuck

97 Points & #97 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Saturated with dark currant, fig and blackberry compote flavors, this has a fleshy, nearly glycerin feel at first before stretching out to reveal singed cedar, tobacco leaf, dark earth and cassis bush flavors. A terrific tug of cast iron emerges at the very end. Deliciously juicy dark fruit keeps rolling throughout. Best from 2025 through 2040. 12,000 cases made. —JM

"The concentration and largesse of
the 2016 Pichon Baron is apparent from the get-go with incredibly
alluring, ripe and expansive fruit aromas in the blackberry,

slate-like, stony mineral edge add complexity. The palate has incredible
depth, drive and detail. Fine and plush tannins stretch the palate in
every direction. So fresh and vivacious, this is the greatest Pichon
Baron since 1989 and has a long future. Try from 2024." (Jan 2019)

the market one month later in October. This is a more important wine

"This is well-packed, offering the vivid plum, boysenberry, cassis and açaí berry fruit profile of the vintage, along with a dark edge of tar, baker's chocolate and salted licorice that courses underneath. The long finish lets the fruit play out, keeping singed alder and chai spice hints in the background. Smolderingly seductive. Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz. Best from 2035 through 2060. 3,500 cases made." — JM

97 Points - James Suckling:
"This is a powerful and rich
red with so much density and power yet there's an underlying freshness
and energy. Hints of vanilla and walnuts. Full body, chewy tannins and a
flavorful finish. Better in 2022 but impressive already." - (18 Feb,
2018)
95 Points & #59 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Rich, robust and lusciously spiced, with concentrated dark cherry,

"Bright black cherry, plum, earth, vanilla and toasty oak flavors are
the hallmarks of this well-crafted red. Balanced, this needs a year or
two to integrate more fully and extend the finish. Firm grip.
Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot. Best from 2021 through 2033.

97 Points - Decanter:
"2016 was an outstanding year, with an
early, fine summer with daily sea breezes. Slightly above-average
January and February temperatures were offset by a welcome 90mm of
January rain. Markedly floral, there's a white blossom character to both
nose and back-palate. It's a concentrated wine with gently granular
fresh and dried pear notes, accompanied by silkier white peach.
Succulent, ripe lemony acidity is well integrated and gently sheathed by
nougat-inflected creamy lees. Lovely lithe mouthfeel and beautiful
harmony. Drinking Window 2019 - 2035." - Sarah Ahmed (May 2019)
96 Points & #28 Top 100 Wines of 2019 - Wine Spectator:
"Refined and elegant, this white is supple, yet intense and precise,
with lemon curd, apricot, honeycomb and mandarin orange flavors,
accented by floral and mineral details. The secret weapon here is the
sleek acidity, which weaves in and out, giving the flavors definition
and verve. Drink now through 2034. 800 cases imported." — MW

94 Points & #7 Top 20 Whiskies of 2019 - Whisky Advocate:
Old
Ezra’s owner, Luxco, historically has played the role of whiskey
négoçiant, sourcing liquid from third-party distillers. In 2018, the
company opened its own distillery in Bardstown, Ky., where it’s now
laying down whiskey. While we wait for it to mature, we’ll happily savor
the sourced version. This is Ezra Brooks’ first ever barrel-proof
bourbon, and it’s a beauty. A spice storm of cinnamon, clove, ginger,
and roasted pecan greets the palate, easing into sweet notes of melted
caramel, chocolate, macaroons, marzipan, and crème brûlée. Earthy hints
of sandalwood and tobacco complete the finish, making this everything a
great bourbon should be. —David Fleming
