91/100
Standout
A powerful, expressive Pinot Noir with dark red fruit, pronounced tannin, and an unusually persistent finish. The frame is still thin, but the wine has aroma, depth, and enough structure to make the compromise feel worthwhile.
91/100
Standout
A Cabernet with a clear varietal line: cassis and cedar stay identifiable from the aroma through a long finish. The flavor is still easy to recall, and the glass is one to pour again.

84/100
A well-balanced sparkling rosé whose fine mousse and clear raspberry character give it polish. Convincingly wine-like, with modest complexity and an easy, refreshing appeal. The harmony earns. The narrow range is why it stops there.

84/100
An enjoyable sparkling rosé. Smooth texture, a refreshing balance, and a raspberry line you can follow are the strengths. Floral detail supports the fruit, and sweetness stays measured. Consistency is the limit: worth pouring again, and a second bottle is likely rather than sure.
