Domaine Louis Boillot Bougogne 2019

Pinot Noir | Burgundy, France

There is a level of sophistication that you typically only see at the next level up, the village wines! “Super-fresh aromas of cool and pretty red berries are laced with earth elements that are also reflected by the vibrant and nicely detailed middle weight flavors that possess fine depth and length for a wine at this level.” Allen Meadows, 86-89 Points ♥ Outstanding Top valueThe fruit for the Bourgogne comes largely from Gevrey-Chambertin with a splash from Brochon.

Forjas del Salnés 'Leirana - Finca Genoveva' Albariño 2021
150-200 Year Old Vines!
The Finca Genoveva is showing more complexity on the nose at this early stage in its life compared with the ‘A Telleira’, I suspect it won’t be long before they sit on par.Providing the definition of high-quality super fine acid. Like the ‘A Telleira’ the mouthfeel gently laces your tongue with a sheer delicacy. The scent Gutiérez describes is here, I’d add a little lanolin to the mix.It carries through to the palate, wrapping the core of intriguing flavours with those citru

Simply delicious. Ridiculous for the coin. Citrus oils & ripe lemon juice from the kind of lemon you’d eat like an orange.Gutiérrez comment on development is interesting. I’d add that this is development pre-bottling as a winemaking choice. An approach that for mine offers more complete wine that has seen valuable exposure to oxygen that only help fruit of this quality harmonise and build complexity.Yes, there is a hint of straw & lanolin. It wraps a vibrant, energetic cor

Enticing set of aromas & perfume showing their indigenous grape varieties and the complexity of the blend they offer. Beautiful mousse and fine textured phenolics harmonised by time on lees with excellent mid-palate weight. Phenolics are superb with a complex array of flavours, savoury, saline, earthy, a little rose. Almond and marzipan with a balancing, cleansing silvery bitterness. Beautifully balanced for 0g/l dose showing wonderful generosity of expression yet elegance. Woody herbs at pl

André Clouet Silver Brut Nature NV

Pinot Noir | Champagne, Ambonnay

Zero dosage wines have nowhere to hide! They simply must stand on their own two feet! The depth of fruit flows full length of your tongue finding it's way through juicy mineral acid of great length. The incredible purity of the wine is strikes instantly. As it warms a little the expression of Pinot comes through and you realise just how necessary the acid is in order to tame the rich fruit. Available in Magnum!

Barrel Selection "AP: 15 21. The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** - 24 - was made from 40% botrytized fruit picked at 115° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (120 g/l). It offers a still rather backward nose made of smoky elements and only faint scents of melon, pineapple, apricot, and herbs. The wine is hugely racy and beautifully focused on the palate and leaves a mouthwatering feel of herbs, faint flavors of subtly exotic fruits, and spices in

La Ca’ Növa Barbaresco 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2021 Barbaresco is exquisite. Bright and delineated, with tons of energy, the 2021 bristles with saline-infused energy. Red berry fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper lend tons of energy to this deceptively mid-weight, nervy young Barbaresco. Vineyard sites are Ovello, Cole and Loreto.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points

What a wonderful exploration of Trebbiano the wines of Ciavolich, Tiberio and Emidio Pepe. On the continuum Tiberio is the freshest with least oxidative handling, Ciavolich is in the middle and Emidio Pepe has the full beans! All are delightful expression and all that is left for us to do is enjoy and celebrate the difference.Aged in amphore Ciavolich's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 'Fosso Cancelli' has a core of quality fruit that easily handles the oxidative winemaking, whilst still being laced by a

Our Barbera d'Alba Superiore is made from Barbera grapes grown on our own vineyards. These vineyards are planted on Helvetian soil, which lends structure and elegance, enhanced by approximately one year of aging in wood. The color is an intense ruby red, tending towards violet and purple. On the nose, it offers vinous aromas of red and black fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry. The palate is full and robust, with a pleasant flavor of typical red and black fruits and a pleasant sensation

Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Such a comforting wine, easy, flowing, grape first with salty blood and blood orange around vibrant fruit. Well made and composed. Fruit and tannins weighted nicely. Approachable now but will undoubtedly offer much more with a few years in bottle. For the coin this sits in a great spot!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 2024The Giuseppe Cortese 2020 Barbaresco delivers aromas of crushed rose, redcurrant, licorice and camphor ash.
