Italienske vine
Feudi di San Gregorio, Campania:
2009 Fiano di Avellino Pietracalda, Feudi di San Gregorio
90 POINT - "The 2009 Fiano di Avellino Pietracalda combines textural richness and varietal expression in a rich, generous style of Fiano. The wine caresses the palate with fruit all the way through to the vivid, enveloping finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014." - Robert Parker

2009 Greco di Tufo Cutizzi, Feudi di San Gregorio
90 POINT - "The 2009 Greco di Tufo Cutizzi is a fresh, vibrant wine. It shows marvelous precision in its centered fruit, with sweet, perfumed aromatics that add complexity. The finish is long, articulate and impeccable. Clean mineral notes round out the close. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014." - Robert Parker

2007 Taurasi, Feudi di San Gregorio
92 POINT - "The 2007 Taurasi is quite possibly the most lush Taurasi I have ever tasted. Layers of soft, expressive fruit caress the palate in this radiant, pleasing Taurasi. Some of the wine's accessibility has been achieved with a loss of varietal character, at least at this early stage in the wine's development. In exchange, readers will find a relatively open, giving Taurasi that won't require extended cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022." - Robert Parker

2008 Serpico, Feudi di San Gregorio
92+ POINT - "The 2008 Serpico (Aglianico) is dark, powerful and intense. Black cherries, tar, asphalt and menthol are some of the nuances that emerge from this vibrant, tightly coiled Serpico. The 2008 will require cellaring, but the wine has a brilliant track record of repaying patience. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026." - Robert Parker

2000 Barbaresco Riserva Asili, Bruno Giacosa
98 POINT - "The 2000 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is as it always has been; impeccably refined, nuanced and silky from start to finish. I have tasted (or drunk!) this wine at least a dozen times since it was first released. The bouquet shows the faintest signs of positive development while the fruit remains vibrant and beautifully articulated. I don’t see the 2000 Asili Riserva being one of the longest lived Red Labels, but it is unquestionably striking in its beauty. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020." - Robert Parker

2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto, Bruno Giacosa
96 POINT - "The 2000 Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto is like silk on the palate. Sweet, ripe tannins frame an exquisite core of fruit. The 2000 is remarkably elegant, sensual and polished but it doesn’t quite provide the visceral thrill of the most monumental vintages. Still, this is a very strong showing from a wine that has frankly never moved me emotionally. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020." - Robert Parker

Bodegas Aalto, Ribera del Duero:
2008 Aalto, Bodegas Aalto
95 POINT - "A glass-coating opaque purple color, it is already displaying a complex aromatic array of sandalwood, smoke, espresso, lavender, Asian spices, and assorted blue and black fruits. Smooth-textured, succulent, and structured, it will evolve for 2-3 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2028+. In the scheme of things, it offers great value in top-flight Ribera del Duero." - Robert Parker

2007 An Negra, Bodegas An Negra
91 POINT - "The 2007 AN is made in only the better vintages. It is 95% Callet and 5% Mantonegre-Fogoneu with yields of under 1 ton of fruit per acre. The wine was aged for 17 months in new French oak. Mineral, spice box, incense, and violets aromas inform the nose of this dense, layered offering. Medium- to full-bodied, it has excellent volume, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish. Give it 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2013 to 2022." - Robert Parker

2008 AN/2, Bodegas An Negra
90 POINT - "The 2008 AN/2 is made up of 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre and Fogoneu, and 15% Syrah aged for 13 months in 35% new French oak. Wood smoke, earth notes, cinnamon, clove, and black cherry aromas are followed by a vibrant, sweetly fruited, racy wine with good intensity and length. Drink this outstanding effort over the next 5-6 years." - Robert Parker

2009 Monastrell, Casa Castillo
90 POINT - "The just bottled 2009 Monastrell from a superior vintage has a slightly more roasted character, greater density and richness, and exceptional length. It, too, can be enjoyed over the next 3-4 years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

Cepa 21, Ribera del Duero:
2008 Cepa 21
92 POINT - "The 2008 Cepa 21, also 100% Tinta Fino, spent 14 months in 500-liter French and American oak. This nicely perfumed offering displays Asian spices, lavender, incense, espresso, and blackberry aromas leading to a dense, opulent, moderately structured Ribera that possesses 2-3 years of aging potential. It is an outstanding value that will deliver pleasure for another 10-12 years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2009 HITO, Cepa 21
90 POINT - "The 2009 Hito is 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) aged for 8 months in large French oak. It sports the rich fruit of the great 2009 vintage along with enticing aromas of cedar, mineral, tapenade, violets, and blackberry jam. Savory, ripe, and balanced in the mouth, it is an excellent value for drinking over the next 5-6 years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2008 Salia, Finca Sandoval
90 POINT - "The entry-level 2008 Salia is a blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Garnacha Tintorera, and 12% Garnacha Tinta that went through malolactic in barrel and was aged for 11 months in seasoned French and American oak prior to bottling without fining or filtration. Mineral, blueberry, black cherry, smoke, and floral notes form the nose of this dense, succulent, layered red. It has enough structure to evolve to 2-3 years but can be approached now. It is an outstanding value that over-delivers in a big way." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2007 Finca Sandoval
93 POINT - "The deep crimson-colored 2007 Finca Sandoval is made up of 79% Syrah, 13% Mourvedre, and 8% Bobal made entirely from estate-grown fruit. The wine was aged for 11 months in new and seasoned French and American oak. It offers up a brooding bouquet of underbrush, mineral, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry. Packed and impeccably balanced, this savory, layered effort is surprisingly forward for its size. It can be approached now but will be better with 2-3 years of additional cellaring." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

Finca Villacreces, Ribera del Duero:
2009 Pruno, Finca Villacreces
91 POINT - "The entry-level 2009 Pruno is predominantly Tempranillo with dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak. Opaque purple in color, it offers up a brooding bouquet of earthy minerality, Asian spices, incense, and assorted black fruits. Velvety-textured, sweetly-fruited, layered, relatively forward, and lengthy, this seamless effort admirably reveals the strengths of the great 2009 vintage and is a superb value to boot. Drink it over the next 5-6 years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2005 Finca Villacreces
93 POINT - "The 2005 Tinto is 86% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Merlot which went through malolactic fermentation in barrel and remained in French oak for another 16 months. Purple-colored, the aromatics reveal notes of mocha, coffee, smoke, violets, spice box, wild cherry, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, layered, and well-balanced, this superb effort will continue to evolve for several years and drink well through 2025." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2006 Nebro, Finca Villacreces
94 POINT - "The Nebro cuvee is produced only in top vintages from the estate’s oldest Tempranillo vines aged for a minimum of 18 months in French oak. The 2006 Nebro offers up a complex aromatic array of pain grille, crushed stone, spice box, black raspberry, and black cherry that leaps from the glass. Elegant and velvety on the palate with succulent flavors, it still comes up a bit lacking in depth and concentration compared to the very best vintages." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2009 Mencia, Luna Beberide
90 POINT - "The perennial Best Buy, the Luna Beberide Mencia, is unoaked 2009 Mencia and was bottled without filtration. Purple in color with an expressive, already complex bouquet of earthy minerals, Asian spices, incense, and black raspberry, this savory, ripe, balanced effort is a crowd-pleaser that will drink well for another 3-4 years. As usual, it is an outstanding value." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2008 Prima, Maurodos
91 POINT - "Bodegas Maurodos’s 2008 Prima is 95% Tinta de Toro and 5% Garnacha aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak and bottled without filtration. Purple-colored, it displays a nose of cedar, spice box, violets, mineral, and blackberry. On the palate it is juicy, succulent, and concentrated, leading to a seamless finish. Drink this outstanding value over the next 6 years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2007 San Roman, Maurodos
93 POINT - "The 2007 San Roman is 100% Tinta de Toro aged for 25 months in seasoned French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it gives up an already complex bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, damp earth, licorice, tapenade, and blackberry. Layered and multi-dimensional on the palate, it lacks the power of a great vintage such as 2009 but the result is a more immediately friendly wine that can be enjoyed from 2015 to 2022 if not longer." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

Emilio Moro, Ribera del Duero:
2007 Emilio Moro
91 POINT - "The 2007 Emilio Moro is the Bodega’s most traditional wine, aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, the nose displays cedar, Asian spices, leather, incense, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense and concentrated on the palate with excellent length and several years of aging potential, it is an outstanding value in serious Ribera del Duero wine." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2007 Malleolus Sancho Martin, Emilio Moro
96 POINT - "The 2007 Malleolus de Sancho Martin is a bit more reticent aromatically than the Valderramiro but with a very similar profile. On the palate it has greater volume as well as a bit more structure. Opulent, rich, and concentrated, it will reward extended cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2037." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2007 Malleolus Valderramiro, Emilio Moro
96 POINT - "The 2007 Malleolus de Valderramiro is a glass-coating opaque purple. It showcases a superb, sexy bouquet of sandalwood, graphite, Asian spices, incense, black cherry, and blackberry that leaps from the glass. Opulent, already complex with more to come, and super-long in the finish, it offers a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2037." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

Numanthia-Thermes, Toro:
2008 Termes, Numanthia
91 POINT - "The 2008 Termes offers up a sexy perfume of cedar, spice box, violets, incense, espresso, and blackberry. Savory, concentrated, and well-balanced, this flavorful effort will benefit from several years of additional cellaring but can be approached now." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2007 Numanthia
94+ POINT - "The 2007 Numanthia is marginally more approachable but it, too, is a dense, layered, voluminous, structured wine. Given the requisite cellaring, it will eventually become both elegant and powerful." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2006 Termanthia, Numanthia
96+ POINT - "The 2006 Termanthia is a glass-staining opaque purple color. The aromatics are a bit taciturn at the moment but with coaxing, brooding black fruits, wood smoke, pencil lead, tar, espresso, and blackberry aromas emerge. On the palate, the wine is large-scaled, dense, and nearly impenetrable. The fruit is there; it is just densely packed and tightly wound. Give it a decade in the cellar and start drinking it from 2020 through 2046." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2006 Paixar
94 POINT - "The 2006 Paixar is 100% Mencia from 80+-year-old vines planted in slate. The wine is naturally fermented, aged for 16 months in new French oak, and bottled without filtration. A glass-staining opaque purple, it offers up a brooding, kinky bouquet filled with Asian spices, incense, black currant, plum, and black cherry. Elegant, silky-textured, and impeccably balanced, it comes off as an imaginary blend of Grand Cru Burgundy and Cote Rotie. Give this sexy effort 5-7 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2015 to 2030." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2009 XII Subirat Parent, Agusti Torello
90 POINT - "Agusti Torello is better known for their superb Cavas, but this is a most intriguing white. The 2009 XII Subirat Parent (Subirat Parent is the name of the grape and a member of the Malvasia family) was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Fragrant mineral, baking spices, melon, and hints of pineapple and other tropical nuances inform the nose of this complex, ripe, sophisticated white. It displays a firm acid structure and the balance to drink well for several more years." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com

2009 Flor de Vetus, Vetus
90+ POINT - "This is the first release of the entry level offering, the 2009 Flor de Vetus made from 100% Tinta de Toro. Deep purple in color, it offers up a mildly brooding bouquet with hints of tar, chocolate, espresso, spice box, and assorted black fruits. Dense on the palate with layers of fruit, this plush, savory effort will evolve for 1-2 years but can be approached now." - Jay Miller, erobertparker.com
