KILIKANOON GOLDEN HILLSIDE SHIRAZ 2020 Clare Valley, South Australia 45346 (XD) 750 mL $18.95 2 Gorgeously ripe and immediately appealing, the wine shows blackberry, cake spice, hazelnut and rich floral aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate offering fleshy texture and silky tannins. Upfront and plump with a lengthy satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2036. Score: 94 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Jan. 2023) MONTES DE LEZA EDICION LIMITADA 2019 DOCa Rioja, Spain 44884 (XD) 750 mL $21.95 2 Bright cherry-red to the eye, this wine offers a bouquet of cranberry, black olive paste and rose petal. Bright on entry, it has flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, cocoa butter, eucalyptus and Turkish delight. A touch of baking spice and plush tannins carry into the enduring finish. Score: 93 (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast , July 1, 2023) Full-bodied & Smooth New at Vintages
