Vinous (92)Deep ruby. Vibrant, expressive aromas and flavors of kirsch, dark chocolate and flowers. Very dense, fat and sweet, with excellent inner-mouth energy leavening the impression of lushness. Finishes long and sweetly tannic, with a bit of brandy to be absorbed. This has the density and tannic clout for a graceful evolution in bottle. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The Warre’s Vintage was picked beginning on September 18 at Quinta da Cavindha, with fruit also sourced from Quinta do Retiro and Quinta da Telhada. It is a blend of 37% Touriga Nacional, 23% Tinta Franca and 40% mixture of old vines. There is a lovely sea spray note on the 2011 Warre’s that emerges after ten minutes in the glass. It is nicely defined with a tangible mineral component. The palate is very well-balanced with fine tannins, very well-judged acidity and a languorous feel, as if everything is in place and it does not want to show off. This is a lovely, refined 2011 – one of the most elegant 2011s. This is a classic Warre’s. 3,000 cases declared. Tasted May 2013. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)Often among my favourite Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignons, this textbook Helderberg red was blended with 3% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc in 2017. Scented, refined and effortlessly dense and complex, with aromatic 30% new wood, mocha, cedarwood and cassis flavours and a long, balanced, herbal finish. 2022-29 |

Tim Atkin MW (96)You can almost count the good producers of Sangiovese outside Italy on the fingers of one hand, so well done Waterford for the impressive first release of this blend with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Herbal and spicy, it has aromas of pine and rosemary, succulent red berry fruit, classic Italian acidity and savoury tannins and stylish second and third use wood. 2021-27 |

The Weingut Dreissigacker Bechtheimer Riesling 2019 exemplifies the pinnacle of Rheinhessen viticulture. Grown on the sun-drenched slopes of Bechtheim, each vine benefits from the region's unique Schium terroir, imparting a distinct minerality to the grapes. Hand-harvested with meticulous care, the Riesling undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant acidity and delicate floral aromas. Fermentation is carefully managed to maintain its elegant fruit profile, followed by ageing on fine lees to enhance complexity and texture. Esteemed for its balance, the 2019 vintage reveals notes of green apple, citrus zest, and subtle mineral undertones, culminating in a crisp, refreshing finish. Crafted by the renowned Dreissigacker family, whose dedication to sustainable and traditional winemaking practices ensures a wine of exceptional character and finesse. Ideal for pairing with seafood, Asian cuisine, or enjoying on its own, this Riesling is a testament to fine German winemaking. |

Vinous (93)Intriguing aromas of nectarine, nut oil, lemon zest and oyster shell. The succulent peach pit flavor and textural richness are enlivened by a salty minerality that lingers tantalizingly on the finish. With its intensity and perfect clarity, this is without doubt one of finest dry Rieslings of the vintage in Germany. Given its proven track record, I expect it to mature extremely well. |

Vinous (92)The aromatic combination of lemon peel, crushed stone and fusel oil suggests an analogy to Chablis. The palate is polished but firm, and features Wittmann- and Morstein-typical lemon zest bite allied to a palpable sense of chalky crushed stone suffusion. All of this adds up to a somewhat austere performance. Smoky and fusel notes segue into piquant lemon oil on a finish of formidable grip. “We worked incredibly long and hard deciding on this cuvée,” reported Wittmann, “and ended up bottling only a third of what we would in a normal year. It was important to me that no one anywhere in the world could say, ‘Well, the Morstein got hailed on, so it’s not quite so good this vintage.’” |

Vinous (93)A marine combination of salinity and alkalinity greets the nose, along with penetrating scents of lemon and tomatillo, anticipating the surprising tart-edged, tangy brightness and the piquancy that emerge on a full, firm, concentratedly sappy palate. Char, chalk, mouthwatering salinity and pungent herbal inflections combine with cheek-grabbing phenolic intensity and tartness for a strikingly vibrant, gripping finish. Wittmann’s Morstein is notoriously the darling among wine critics inside Germany, and here is a vintage in which I’m inclined to go along (though not overboard) with the adulation it so regularly receives. |
