Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: I also tasted the 2014 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard, which might take some months to come into the market. It has some balsamic aromas, medicinal hints, traces of orange peel, saffron and a touch of sweet...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The original red 2018 A Lisa was named after Han Vinding Diers' Danish grandmother and sourced form villages within 15kilometers from Mainqué in Río Negro, so their village red. They had frost in the zone in 2018, and...
jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Aromas of cooked pears, apples, lemons and crushed stones. Salty, too. Full and deep with a solid core of fruit and a bright and citric finish. Very minerally and bright. Starts off slowly and then takes off. Drink or hold.
jamessuckling.com, 99 points: This is really incredible now. Cooked apples, mustard flowers, minerals and hints of stone. Full-bodied yet vivid and expansive with lightness and energy on the palate. Eye-opening acidity. It goes on for minutes. A great...
jamessuckling.com, 92 points: I love the pear, licorice and vanilla aromas. Clarity and elegance. The finish lingers long and gently pulls you back for more. Drink now.
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A very intense nose of blackberries, mulberries, violet extract, charcuterie, Indian spices and really flamboyant licorice. Full body, lots of juicy, grainy tannins, tangy acidity, tons of dark plum fruit and a long...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This shows such fabulous aromas of flowers, chili, spices, minerals and licorice. Juniper. Full body, with ultra-fine tannins and a refined and fresh finish. 60% malbec and 40% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The insultingly young 2015 J Alberto is the most backward of the three wines I tasted on this occasion. It comes from four hectares of vines planted in 1955 with an ungrafted massale field blend selection, mostly Malbec...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2016 Catena Alta Chardonnay was cropped from a cool El Niño year. It's fresh and elegant, with high acidity and moderate alcohol. The oak is almost imperceptible, as the wine is very intense and pungent. Eighty...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is really complex and balanced with lots of chocolate, walnut and currant character. Full to medium body. Wonderful energy and complexity. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Gran Enemigo is a blend with a lot more Cabernet Franc, quite different from the 2012. It is a blend of 50% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot from Gualtallary in...

Vinous, 92 points: Bright red-ruby. Very pure, aromatic scents of blackberry and violet. Fine-grained on entry, then dry, focused and classic in the middle palate, conveying subtle sweetness and a slightly medicinal coolness to its dark...

I have found that a lot of the wines available at JJ Buckley are either not available at my local vendors or are at a much lower price. The service over the years has always been exemplary. I will continue to make purchases from JJ Buckley.
