Carricante from Etna, Sicily
Wow! This is dynamite! Pure, crystalline energy. The divine funk of whites with low pH, that lanolin twist and earthy spice that you often see in great white Burg's and top-end dry rizza from Alsaca & Germany. Superb texture, the quality of the acid & phenolics wrapping fruit of great intensity and transparency is insane. The shape & flow caress & ignite!The intrigue builds with citrus oils, white flowers, a good pinch of salt, a little earthiness and a savoury play. This is
Chenin Blanc from Anjou, D'Anjou-Saumur
The Anjou Blanc was previously produced from bought-in fruit, but the 2021 vintage was made up of 50% of the estate's fruit. Tasted after being opened for three days, it has taken on an added richness and roundness that wasn't previously there. There's a mere soupçon of flinty character. Intense and precise, with laser-like acidity flying through the mouth like an arrow. The finish is nutty, pastry and lightly salty, lingering with the merest tonic-like bitterness.Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous 91
Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
A Vino de Pasto from the laminated Albarizas Barajuelas of Pago Macharnudo. Willy Perez has turned out an absolutely ripping 'Escribana' in 2024. Willy clearly has epic touch eliciting balance, complexity, texture and freshness to give us an entrancing wine. In reference to flavour I typical refer to a core of fruit for most grape varieties and wines. Drinking Vino de Pasto, I prefer to refer to a core of flavour. The 2024 'Escribana' certainly has flavour to burn. Saline & nutty with gr
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, Touraine
“The 2021 Clos du Bourg Sec is an ample, full bodied wine with a stream of acidity. Pure, floral and fragrant with aromas of pineapple, violets and fresh grapes. While rich, it is light in sensation, like a cloud of Chenin filling the mouth, and finishes with a fine, almost powdery and chalky texture.”Rebecca Gibb, Vinous 95 Points
Carricante from Etna, Sicily
A wee hit of sulphur blows off quickly in the glass. Holds this in good stead for a long life. Crystal clear. A layer of lanolin funk and spice floats above vibrant fruits that build on the palate fanning out offering great persistence.A little cleansing phenolics and fine acid balance a creamy mouthfeel. The fruit is nicely developed making for delicious drinking now with more to come.Spicy and full of tension, the 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Montalto bursts from the glass wit
Barbera from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo
The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is a new wine from Cappellano. Sourced from a close friends vineyard in the Roero it has a very different flavour and tannin profile to the Barbera Gabutti which needed replanting after years of decline.Like all good Barbera and Cappellano wines, the 2021 Barbera shows excellent development and refinement. Given this is the first release it'll be fascinating to see how Augusto evolves this wine in future vintages. I suspect the soils here will be sandier as is more ty
Carricante from Etna, Sicily
2022 NOTE: A faint lick of larger format oak adds complexity without being intrusive and resolves quickly as the wine opens.Delicious! The perceived acidity is certainly higher than that of Montalto, sophisticated and delicate.Super-fine and flowing, a myriad of fresher flavours, I like Eric’s calls on candied lime, green apples and chamomile. Fabulous drinking fine and long with plenty more to come.The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito lifts from the glass with a
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
100% Chassagne fruit. This is a delicious drink straight off the bat. Approachable young and good to go over the next few years. A level of generosity and immediate appeal while showing the freshness and hinting at the complexity and precision that comes as you move through Alex's range.The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc offers up aromas of white flowers, citrus zest and sourdough bread, followed by a medium-bodied, fleshy and vibrant palate.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 88-89 Points
Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, Touraine
“Drinking the 2020 Clos du Bourg Demi-Sec is like taking your shoes off at the end of a long day of walking and soaking them in warm water: there's just satisfaction and relaxation. The 2020 has a sense of volume but not weight, filling the mouth with depths of pure fruit before the acid pours forth like a canal lock being opened. You can expect a hint of spice and crème caramel alongside apple and florals. I am utterly seduced.”Rebecca Gibb, Vinous 97 PointsSR 95
Nebbiolo from Neive, Barbaresco
Excellent drinking at this price point. Complete with well developed strawberries and cream with savoury, generous fruit. Playful and fun, solid depth and length. This is a big step up from the standard Barbaresco. The sophistication of mouthfeel, layering of tannins and flavours marking the difference. Serraboella turns out wines of interest from a number of producers including Barale, looking forward to seeing their 2019 too! This one is well worth a look.
Pinot Noir from 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.
