Poderi Parpinello
Ala Blanca Vermentino di Sardegna 2018
Layers of stone fruit with bright acidity for punctuation. Bravura winemaking from one of our favorite ancient islands. Bravissimo! — 5 years ago
Château La Conseillante
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
The 1989 La Conseillante is one of the top performers in Pomerol and arguably now one of the best values. This bottle confirms that exuberance and joie-de-vivre on the nose, displaying the telltale crushed violets in bloom, with precious but controlled red and black fruit underneath. The palate is sumptuous from the start, presenting cashmere tannin and perhaps a little more glycerine in this bottle. The bravura finish leaves you grinning from ear to ear. Stunning, and it will remain on its plateau for many years. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at Hatched in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2019) — 5 years ago
Bravio
Reserva Central Valley Carménère 2021
Esse vinho já merecia algum destaque por ser homenagem à bravura e nobreza do cavalo dos donos, Arlequim, que descansa em seus campos e se confunde com a força e pureza da Terra que o viu nascer, viver e agora o acolhe pela eternidade.
Todavia, este vinho faz-se presente também por seu bom custo-benefício, que traz o melhor do encontro das Cordilheira dos Andes com o Oceano Pacífico. — a year ago
Alcance
Bravura Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
On the nose ripe plum, cassis, eucalyptus, light roasted coffee beans, vanilla and hint of cured meat. More stewed fruits on the palate, but with a firm acidic spin. Fresh herbs also provide a lift. Ripe velvety tannins. A bit heat on the long finish. Very delicious.
The Bravura is the winery’s top bottling, and usually is a Bordeaux blend. But for 15’, it’s 100% Cab. 22 months in French barrel, 40% new. — 3 years ago

The 2006 Clos de Tart was one of the better wines from Sylvain Pitiot's era. It has evolved a little since my last tasting in 2018. The broody black fruit on the nose still oddly harks toward Bordeaux. It's not as tight-fisted as before. The palate is structured with a lot of substance; what it lacks in elegance, it compensates with sheer bravura. Perhaps it just lacks the precision on the finish to compel you back for another sip. This wine is for those who seek Burgundy Grand Cru with body. (Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2024)
