If this is your priority, buy Clavelier, Leroux, Figeac (2019), Canon, Carmes H-B, Gangloff (2018-19), Clos des Papes (2019) and Petrolo Galatrona (2019).
Merry Christmas

I love the Tenuta Nuova but only know the 2012. I have a special love for the Sandrone Aleste (ex Cannubi Boschi) 2016 and for the greatest of all (in my humble opinion), the Pingus 2019.
Yours truly.

1st: Clos des Papes 2019 (79 euros / bt) for 4 out of 5 people
2nd: Rayas 2010 (around 2000 euros / bt)
3rd: Rayas 2012 (??? but expensive too)
4th J. Perrin 2016 (400 euros / bt)
No worries to have for this purchase!
