| 25893 | 25892 | France | The wine is rounded and soft with attractive berry fruits and wood aging. It's fruity with juicy acidity, black currant freshness and a dry core that will allow it to age 2017–2018. | | 84 | 13 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château La Rose du Pin 2011 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château La Rose du Pin |
| 25894 | 25893 | Portugal | Rustic in character, this wine shows a bit too much alcohol, manifested by burnt and pepper notes. The acidity works hard to bring balance but ultimately is overpowered by the weight of the wine. | | 84 | 15 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Herdade do Rocim 2011 Touriga Nacional (Alentejano) | Touriga Nacional | Herdade do Rocim |
| 25895 | 25894 | US | Hints of lemon and blossom invigorate earthier, savory tones of nuts and pressed apples in this dry, medium-bodied Pinot Blanc.

| 25897 | 25896 | France | This wine comes from less than an acre in Mâcon's smallest appellation. The result is a tight wine with a steely edge. Strong citrus and crisp apple flavors are lifted by the nervy acidity and finished with a shot of lemon juice. Let this wine calm down and drink from 2017. | Climat La Colonge | 87 | 43 | Burgundy | Pouilly-Loché | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Bret Brothers 2014 Climat La Colonge (Pouilly-Loché) | Chardonnay | Bret Brothers |

| 25902 | 25901 | France | This tight wine has acidity with a crisp texture and hints of the fruit to come. A potential for richness comes from the ripe yellow fruits that are developing.

| 25910 | 25909 | US | A rose garden's worth of aromas lift out of the glass in this hearty, full-bodied red, the peppery tannins somewhat grippy on the palate before settling down.

| 25911 | 25910 | Portugal | There is much of the perfumed character of Touriga Nacional in this wine that goes with the ripe, juicy black fruits and acidity. At this stage, there is a strong spice from the wood aging and this needs to soften before the wine will be ready to drink. Wait until 2018. | Senses | 87 | 15 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2014 Senses Touriga Nacional (Alentejano) | Touriga Nacional | Adega Cooperativa de Borba |

| 25914 | 25913 | Argentina | Floral aromas, berry scents, wet cement and saucy notes drive the nose on this viscous, almost sticky Malbec. Baked berry flavors don't show much follow through on the finish, which offers more minty oak than fruit. | Atrevida | 87 | 18 | Mendoza Province | Agrelo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Manos Negras 2015 Atrevida Malbec (Agrelo) | Malbec | Manos Negras |

| 25916 | 25915 | Argentina | This is a highly fragrant Torrontés with exotic tropical aromas of lychee and bath oil.

| 25919 | 25918 | Argentina | Rubbery, stalky berry aromas rate as earthy. In the mouth, this hammers away with cheek-grabbing tannins. Stewed plum, tomato and herbal flavors carry over onto a chunky finish. This is 50% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Syrah and Petit Verdot. | Killka Collection | 87 | 15 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Salentein 2014 Killka Collection Red (Uco Valley) | Red Blend | Salentein |
