2016 Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy, $69
97 points Decanter – Best in Show

“Translucent black-red in colour, shading to a glowing garnet rim, with refined, artfully composed scents of subdued berry fruits, warm summer forest, dried mushrooms, and soft suede. The wine is intense, deep, perfectly pitched in structural terms between lively, well-rounded acidity and brisk, sober tannins: a dignified, grave yet rewarding wine for a fine dinner. It is fully accessible now, yet the quality of its fruit and its balance suggest many years’ ageing potential, too.” 



2016 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy, $65
97 points Decanter – Platinum

“Powerful, creamy, succulent with oak in proportion to the ripe red fruits. The palate is plush and juicy with plenty of tannins.” 


Sandeman 10 Year Tawny, Port NV, $35
96 points - Gold

“Mature red fruits and toasted almonds with lovely broad creamy flavors. This has depth and subtlety leading to a fresh, exotic, spicy finish. Polished and harmonious.” 


2019 Chateau d’Esclans, Rose Garrus, Cotes de Provence, Provence, France, $105
95 points - Gold

“Perfumed nose of blueberry, wild strawberries, and minty raspberries with toasty nuances. Bold yet refined on the palate with a persistent spicy finish. Quite charming.” 


2018 Donnafugata, Ben Rye, Passito di Pantelleria, Sicily, Italy  $45
98 points – Best in Show

“Rich and waxy notes of dried orange, creme caramel, dried banana, marmalade, and mango. Enticing with an explosion of ripe fruit on the palate, luscious with a vibrant balanced acidity.”


Laurent Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, Champagne, France NV, $95
95 points Decanter – Gold

Sold out - Please email cs@wallywine.com to inquire.

“A briary salty and floral nose kicks off anticipation: elegant and ethereal. There’s line and precision and an impressive use of reserves to give gravity. Superb!”
