Mastroberardino - Vinous			92	Dec-2019
Review “Very deep ruby with a pale rim. Aromas of smoke, red and dark cherry, plum and violet, complicated by earthy notes. Flinty on entry, then sweet, rich and smoky, offering long, juicy plum and saline flavors. There’s more ripe flesh and fruit here than in the 2015 Taurasi Radici, but this is not at all over the top.”
Leclerc Briant - Wine Spectator	Champagne La Croisette Brut	2014	91	Dec-2019
Review “A delicate Champagne, weaving notes of juicy nectarine, biscuit and candied ginger together. Pleasingly chalky and fresh. Disgorged January 2019.”
Catena Zapata - Jeb Dunnuck	Nicolás Catena Zapata	2014	96	Dec-2019
Review “One of the standouts in this stacked lineup is the 2014 Nicolas Catena Zapata, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Malbec sourced from a multitude of vineyards (La Pirámide, Domingo, Adrianna and Nicasia Vineyards) that spent two years in new French oak. Boasting a deep ruby/purple color as well as blockbuster notes of crème de cassis, damp earth, classy oak, white flowers, and tobacco leaf, this beauty is full-bodied, deep, and layered on the palate, with both richness and freshness. Made in a semi-classic style, with textbook Cabernet notes as well as a polished, pure, ripe style, it’s a brilliant wine from this estate that will keep for two decades or more.”
Henschke - Jamessuckling.com	Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz	2014	99	Dec-2019
Review “Amazing aromas of wet aged beef, spices, crushed elderberries, peppercorns and bay leaf. Evolves in the glass all the time. Dynamic wine. Full body and polished, fully integrated tannin to the fruit. Finishes very fresh and vivid. Gorgeous to drink now, but will age wonderfully.” (#5 )
Cousiño-Macul - Wine Enthusiast	Finis Terrae	2014	90	Dec-2019
Review “Ripe, earthy, mature aromas of berry fruits, prune and foresty spice are true to what is quality Maipo Valley red wine. This blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 11% Syrah is wide in body, while flavors of raisin and plum are touched up by chocolate and herbal notes on a finish that’s not shy with the oak.” (Best of Year 2019)
Barone Pizzini - Wine Enthusiast	Barone Pizzini Naturae Franciacorta DOCG	2014	94	Dec-2019
Review “Inviting scents of bread crust, orchard fruit and chamomile mingle together on this extremely elegant sparkler. Radiant, it delivers yellow apple, lemon zest, toasted hazelnut and mineral flavors accompanied by vibrant acidity. The bone-dry finish is softened by a refined perlage of small, continuous bubbles that impart finesse.”
Argiolas - Wine Advocate	Turriga Isola dei Nuraghi IGT	2014	92	Nov-2019
Review “This is a benchmark wine for Argiolas and indeed for Sardinia in general. The 2014 Turriga is a blend of mostly Cannonau with smaller parts Carignano, Bovale and Malvasia Nera. This vintage offers a little less intensity compared to editions from more balanced and less challenging vintages; however, this expression from the wet and cool 2014 harvest offers loads of dark fruit intensity with prune, plum and Sardinian myrtle berry (which is very similar to a blueberry). This wine could stand up to Sardinia’s celebrated aged pecorino. I am suggesting a ten-year drinking window, more or less.”
Secondo Marco - Santé	Valpolicella Classico Ripasso DOC	2014		Nov-2019
Review “Very bright fruit, and very fruit forward – would love a bit more tannins and acidity for balance.”
Tarapacá - Forbes	Gran Reserva Etiqueta Negra	2014		Nov-2019
Review “Black fruit, licorice, cinnamon spice – the Etiqueta Negra is a Cabernet Sauvignon for those that want to know they’re drinking a Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced in Chile’s illustrious Maipo Valley, under the shadows of Andean peaks, the juice is aged in a combination of French and American oak for over a year. What goes into the bottle is deep red in color and intense on the tongue. If it were born in Napa Valley it would be at least $100 more to procure.”
Barone Pizzini - 1 Wine Dude	Barone Pizzini Satèn Franciacorta	2014		Nov-2019
Review “Sure you like ‘em elegant, but how about elegant and yeasty?” (A- Rating)
