The 2023 Beychevelle is a dark, brooding wine. Blackberry, gravel, dried herbs, chocolate, menthol and incense stain the palate.

There are only 900 bottles of the 2004 Colore, a blend of 70% Canaiolo, and 30% Colorino. It is a soft, supple effort endowed with plush dark cherry fruit and an accessible personality, with awesome elegance and notable overall balance.

The 2007 Colore harkens back to a period that produced wildly uneven wines here. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, cloves and licorice open up on the pliant, mid-palate, but that's pretty much it. The finish is short, compact and attenuated. Overall, the 2007 Colore is a far cry from Bibi Graet'z best wines. Colore is a Sangiovese/Canaiolo/Colorino blend.

Wine Advocate (92)
Compared to the 2016 vintage, this edition from 2015 offers more volume and fruit weight, and it leans into oxidized flavors. The Bibi Graetz 2015 Colore is reaching the top of its drinking window, showing dried fruit, plum and a hint of something savory that reminds me of juniper or cured bresaola. The wine is quite accessible in terms of mouthfeel, and it ends with a touch of tannic dustiness. This wine is not evolving as I would have hoped.Inc. VAT£910.03 -

The Lapola terroir, with its slate-rich soils and microclimate, contributes to the wine's distinct minerality and refined acidity. On the palate, Bibei Ribeira Sacra Lapola 2021 presents a harmonious balance of red berry fruits, floral nuances, and well-integrated tannins, culminating in a long, elegant finish. Perfectly suited for pairing with roasted meats and aged cheeses, this vintage is a testament to Bibei's dedication to quality and tradition.

Producer's Note:
Bright, fruity aromas of lemon zest and green apple. The Vermentino brings clean, fresh acidity with structure; Moscato adds floral notes; and Trebbiano balances and smooths this wine giving way to a medium-bodied mouthfeel.In Bond£102.50 -

Vinous (93)
There are only 900 bottles of the 2004 Colore, a blend of 70% Canaiolo, and 30% Colorino. It is a soft, supple effort endowed with plush dark cherry fruit and an accessible personality, with awesome elegance and notable overall balance. The Colore is a selection made from the estate's three best barrels, two of the Canaiolo and one of the Colorino. It is another stunning wine from Bibi Graetz.In Bond£1,452.00 -
Vinous (87)
The 2007 Colore harkens back to a period that produced wildly uneven wines here. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco, cloves and licorice open up on the pliant, mid-palate, but that's pretty much it. The finish is short, compact and attenuated. Overall, the 2007 Colore is a far cry from Bibi Graet'z best wines. Colore is a Sangiovese/Canaiolo/Colorino blend. Both bottles I tasted were disappointing.In Bond£3,666.00 -

Linear drive to this medium-bodied wine now, offering dark berries, mushrooms and some flowers and spices. Tight and racy. Drink or hold.In Bond£827.00 -
Wine Advocate (92)
Compared to the 2016 vintage, this edition from 2015 offers more volume and fruit weight, and it leans into oxidized flavors. The Bibi Graetz 2015 Colore is reaching the top of its drinking window, showing dried fruit, plum and a hint of something savory that reminds me of juniper or cured bresaola. The wine is quite accessible in terms of mouthfeel, and it ends with a touch of tannic dustiness. This wine is not evolving as I would have hoped.In Bond£745.50 -

The aromas are always so complex with cherries, blackberries, rosemary, sage and spice. Full-bodied, very tight and polished with a dense and powerful palate, which opens and grows, yet remains agile and beautiful. A solid red. Wonderful segue from the 2015. 80 per cent sangiovese with colorino and canaiolo. Try after 2022.In Bond£409.50 -

What intense aromas of cherries and raspberries! Then it turns to flowers and orange peel. Roses, too. This is really full and powerful with layers of ripe tannins. It’s super fine-tannined, but shows wonderful length and intensity. A great expression of Lamole in Chianti Classico with ancient vines. Some older than 100 years. Best ever? Superb. Try after 2024 and onwards.In Bond£2,929.00 -
