Dom Pérignon 2003 P2 / Medium deep golden colour with rather small and vivid bubbles.

The palate is ample and rather opulent with a rounded acidity yet with a nice fresh bite from fine extract, mild creaminess, nice layers of finely spicy yellow fruit, nougat and nutty flavours with a long and embracing finish. 95p

Pekka Nuikki / Editor of the Fine Wine Magazines and Champagne Magazine, Wine Writer (Finland)  had a tasting of  32 Wines  from  1 Producers 

Tastingbook tasted Gaja vintages from 1958 to 2021, which reveal a remarkable journey through time, showcasing the evolution, resilience, and timeless elegance of one of Italy’s most iconic wine families. The older vintages offer a nostalgic glimpse into history, often fragile yet rich with complex tertiary aromas, while the younger wines burst with vibrant fruit, structure, and refined precision. Across the decades, Gaja’s unwavering commitment to quality and terroir shines through, delivering wines that combine power with finesse and promise enduring aging potential. Together, these notes paint a vivid portrait of Nebbiolo’s majestic expression under Gaja’s masterful hand—wines to be treasured, cellared, and celebrated across generations.

Izak Litwar / BWW2025 Finalist, Wine Writer (Denmark)  had a tasting of  25 Wines  from  24 Producers 

So, how is the Bordeaux 2024 red vintage? It is better than I expected. Regarding weather challenges, it is similar to 2013, but 2024 was saved by modern technology, the dry and sunny month of August, and a long ripening process. Adjectives such as fresh, elegant, delicate, lively, gentle, and silky characterize most wines. Many wines, especially from properties that couldn't afford treatment costs against mildew, etc., deviate from this description by being over-extracted, green, unripe, and showing dry flavors. In my view, the Right Bank slightly outperforms the Left Bank in terms of wine quality.

Jürg Richter / Sauternes Expert, Wine Writer (Switzerland)  had a tasting of  20 Wines  from  7 Producers 

Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey 1929 / An absolutely sensational bottle—youthful, highly elegant, and perfectly balanced between acidity and sweetness. Delicate, slightly salty caramel, malt, dried figs, and molasses weave together in a masterpiece of flavor. Simply brilliant—off the charts! 20+ points

Pekka Nuikki / Editor of the Fine Wine Magazines and Champagne Magazine, Wine Writer (Finland)  had a tasting of  76 Wines  from  49 Producers 

Barolo 2019 is an excellent vintage—classic and balanced. It shows great structure, freshness, and aging potential, with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. One for the cellar.

John Kapon / CEO / Ackerr Merrall & Condit, Wine Merchant (United States)  had a tasting of  7 Wines  from  4 Producers 

When you are fortunate enough to taste nineteen Rousseau Chambertins at one meal, you can be sure you will have some perspective. The range of vintages was 2018 back to 1990 with almost all the most heralded vintages (no 1991), and the one that stood out above the rest was the 2005 Rousseau Chambertin. Make no mistake about it, there were many standouts, but the 2005 hit the highest note. It was deep but more hi-toned than some of its younger brethren, in a bright red way. It has a raspberry, cranberry and citrus mélange. While rich and saucy, it wasn’t like the other saucy vintages as it had more tension and style. This was a wine to restore one’s faith in the often glacial 2005 vintage. It had enough spice to satisfy the entire House of Atreides (99, Paris).

James Suckling / BWW2025 Finalist, Wine Writer (United States)  had a tasting of  20 Wines  from  8 Producers 

Screaming Eagle 2021 / The aromatics on this are stunning, offering black cherries, blackcurrants, lead pencil, spearmint, Spanish cedar. and wild roses. It’s medium-bodied and starts slowly on the palate and then takes off with muscular tension. Nicely chewy, toned and firm. Goes on for minutes. Flexing and showing its propensity for longevity. Rock on. Best after 2028 and beyond.

Michel Bettane/BWW2025 Finalist, Wine Writer (France)  had a tasting of  18 Wines  from  12 Producers 

Château Suduiraut 2010 /Super nose with some exotic pineapple/mango/passion fruit undertones mixed with Vouvray-like blossom-tree and quince jelly, enormous body, but incredible purity and crystal-like transparency, great length, a masterpiece! Drink 2020-2070.

Axel Probst/BWW2024 Finalist, Wine Writer (Germany)  had a tasting of  8 Wines  from  3 Producers 

QUINTA DO NOVAL VINTAGE PORT NACIONAL 1963 – This is the Vintage Port which most people would like to take to their lonely island. High-scores everywhere and so much life ahead that it almost frightens you: The colour is easily 10-20 years younger of what you would expect. Deep, dark-red colour with lots of reflections. Perfectly balanced bouquet with finesse and intensity. Long and multi-layered aftertaste. Tasted last year at the Quinta. Port-Heaven! 100
