AIX Rosé Magnum 2013 AOP Saint AIX | Aix-en-Provence (Coteaux d'Aix)
Ik proefde evenals vorig jaar een kakelverse editie begin februari en noteerde wat meer snoepjesaardbei, zoete framboos, een lichte kruidigheid en een aangename frisheid. Dat wordt weer dringen...... Harold Hamersma (febr. 2014)
Er zijn wijnen waarvan je ineens ontdekt 'hè, de fles is leeg'. Gewoon omdat ze zo uitnodigend zijn, zo lekker wegdrinken. Hubrecht Duijker (febr. 2014)
Een bleek roze tint en proefden een verkwikkende, zeer zuivere, vrij elegante smaak met vooral fris fruit, zoals van citrus en aalbessen. Plus een subtiel kruidje. Heerlijk gewoon. Hubrecht Duijker (febr. 2014)
An elegant and refined rosé, with concentrated flavors of apple, spice and citrus that are flanked by plenty of rich, spicy notes. Creamy finish. WineSpectator 89/100 (aug. 2012)

Brunello di Montalcino 2008 DOCG Brunello di Montalcino Azienda Mocali | Montalcino (Toscane)
Very pretty aroma's of sweet berries and roses with a hint of stems. Full body, with ultrafine tannins and a silky textured finish. It's the wonderful mouthfeel that makes this such a delicious wine. Drink or hold. James Suckling 93/100 (feb 2013)
A fresh, juicy cherry note is enlivened by spice and savory mineral elements in this lean yet firm red. Remains harmonious and persistent, featuring a long, spicetinged aftertaste. Shows excellent potential. Best from 2016 through 2032 Wine Spectator 92/100 (mei 2013)
Good full red. Captivating aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, sweet spices, violet and red rose. Then dense and suave in the mouth, with precise sangiovese flavors of red cherry, marzipan, minerals and herbs. The clean, long finish shows a penetrating note of redcurrant and rising, polished tannins. An excellent 2008 Brunello and one of the best wines I have ever had from Mocali. Stephen Tanzer 92/100 (jul 2013)<div>
The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino is solid. Tobacco, sage, rosemary and new leather all add complexity to the dark fruit in its supple, generous, beautifully balanced Brunello. The 2008 can be enjoyed today for its supple fruit or cellared for at least a handful of years. It is a gorgeous, beautifully balanced wine from start to finish. Hints of sweet tobacco and dried flowers add perfume on the midweight, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 20132020 Robert Parker 90/100 (jun 2013)
Lacklustre mid ruby with orange rim. Multilayered with bags of sweet fruit. Intense and concentrated too, rich tannins melt into the fruit on the finish. Jancis Robinson (feb 2013)
Soft tones of toasted almond, cinnamon, nutmeg and espresso make for a bold and powerful bouquet. There’s ample fruit, presented as dried blackberry and cassis, that gives the wine the heft it needs to support the tight tannic structure and acidity. Sour cherry flavors drive the lively finish. Wine Enthousiast 92/100 (mei 2013)

Rosso di Montalcino 2012 DOC Rosso di Montalcino Azienda Mocali | Montalcino (Toscane)
Mocali's 2012 Rosso di Montalcino is my favorite Rosso of the year and a highly recommend value wine. The wine is seductive and irresistible thanks to fullness of the fruit it offers in such a confident, almost cocky manner. Robert Parker 91+/100 (feb 2014)
This is a wine that knows what it wants to accomplish: It makes good on its promise to deliver a genuine, nofuss drinking experience without the grand expectations of a Brunello di Montalcino. The architecture here is modern with big lines and chunky cherry endnotes. But it also makes rooms for the subtleties of menthol, licorice and balsam herb. Drink: 20142020 Robert Parker 91+/100 (feb 2014)
Aromas of balsamic and Mediterranean scrub—juniper, rosemary, sage and myrtle—lead off, while a kernel of cherry reigns on the palate. Balanced, lingering on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2019 Wine Spectator 90/100 (jaar 2011, okt 2013)

Nr. 1 Rispasso van 2011 Het Wijnmagazine Perswijn december 2013
This structured ripasso has intense aromas of prune, raisin and graphite. The round and velvety palate offers a ripe blackberry core, spiced by accents of chocolate, mint, tobacco and bitter almond. Pair this with seasoned cheeses or spicy redmeat dishes Wine Enthusiast 89/100

Dark and tarry, with a saturated feel to the plum sauce and steeped currant fruit. Wellembedded anise and fruitcake notes appear on the finish, with a grippy edge lingering. Best from 2014 through 2017 Wine Spectator 89/100

Champagne Tradition Brut Grand Cru Gatinois | Aÿ (Champagne)
Grand Cru with character and personality Robert Parker 92/100
Gatinois is one of my favorite producers for wines that delivers tons of village character. In this case we are talking about Ay, one of the most privileged spots in the world for Pinot Noir. Antonio Galloni (team Robert Parker)
At last, a classic blended Champagne nose. Quite elegant balance, fresh fruit, currants/apples/pears, long. Drink 201317. Decanter
Singlegrower Champagnes are hot and you don't need to be a Wall Street tycoon to afford them. Star wines from the production include the Gatinois Cuvée Tradition and Cuvée Réserve, both of which are dominated by Pinot Noir. Wine Enthousiast
Juicy notes of creamed apple and plum puree are lightly spiced, with ground ginger, anise and clove accents. Hints of roasted almond, pastry and crystallized honey add richness and ride the fine… Drink now through 2020. WineSpectator 92/100
