White Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
NOTE FOR THE 2023:The 2023 Bianco Secco is a model of purity with its bouquet of dusty florals, cracked slate, lime zest and green melon. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness offset by a sour citrus tinge as tart green apple enhances its tension. A salty flourish punctuates the experience as hints of young kiwi mix with apricot through the long and wonderfully fresh finish. This is a refined and captivating vintage of Bianco Secco, a wine that continues to punch well above its class.
White Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
Always a fascinating wine with its complex blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Saorin. That fifth grape is the local name for Tocai or Friuliano. Every vintage of this wine I have devoured has been a delight, reflecting the year and always showing as seamless, laced with textural phenolics, fine with refreshing acidity.A little more colour than usual at this stage: almond, white jasmine flowers and white peach on the nose. The palate is silky, with a to
In the context of fine wine today, this presents incredible value! After tasting the Erste Lager, I can't wait to see what the GG has to offer!Catoir's Haardter Riesling 2021 Bürgergarten "Im Breumel" GG VDP. Grosse Lage opens with a deep, clear and aromatic yet also elegant, pure, refined and complex bouquet of ripe and juicy fruits intermingled with iodine and even some flinty notes. Juicy, round and savory on the palate, with animating saline and grippy minerality, this is a dense, t
Shiraz/Syrah from Cornas, Northern Rhône
Building to show a step up in depth and length. A lick of cleverly used, integrated oak hiding behind the fruit will disappear completely with a little more time in bottle. The tannins show an edge more grip than the Premises in a good way. A bolder iteration with fruit driving the full length of the palate. A little mocha and orange peel with a pop of licorice on that same graphite mineral feel. This merits a decant when young.The 2020 Cornas Empreintes is slightly minty and herbal up f
Sophistication, perfectly ripe yet not over ripe fruit. Very much in the mould of the Guardiola and Rampante Contrada! The 2024 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito is delicate and understated, as a moody mix of crushed black cherries, dried wild herbs and cedar shavings evolves in the glass. Silken, pliant and seamless, it delivers ripe wild berry fruits across a core of saline minerality. This firms up through the finish with sweet tannins that frame the experience quite well.

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

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
Crimson color. There is more new oak here to be seen of first impressions that elevate the overall complexity and class of the aromas, it is amply carried by the depth of fruit, wild strawberry, black cherry, blackberry and plum with a brooding background.The palate is suitably concentrated with ample extract and structure that has layers of fruit and texture. Very classy effort. The finish long and fragrant.Drink 2027-2040Tom Carson
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

Hallmark Guillard length, depth, energy and juicy natural acid. A bolder incarnation than the highly perfumed 2019. Still very much brooding, demanding time. Everything is in it's place. As usual the tannin quality and mouthfeel are superb. Patience!

Superb expression of bubbles made from Pinot Noir! Incredible fruit intensity, rich full style with plenty of personality. Heaps going on.

Gamay Noir from Morgon, Beaujolais
I haven't had a chance to taste these and reviews aren't out yet. Given the consistency and the comments on the vintage below from Bouland and Morris they're just a no brainer.One of the wineries I buy from each year without hesitation. Expect them to have an extra degree of sophistication compared with other recent releases. Wine specific importer notes below.Even Bouland himself struggled to find fault in his wines from what is an outstanding vintage for Beaujolais. “I’m not co
