The 2022 Wachenheimer Gerümpel P.C. is super clear, intense and flinty on the very elegant and refined nose that reveals extremely stony (basalt!) and saline aromas as well as substantial fruit aromas intermingled with sulfur-spring notes. Full-bodied, this is a pure, refined and saline, vibrantly fresh and expressive terroir Riesling with remarkable intensity and grip due to its rich minerals and serious tannins. This is an age-worthy Riesling that will hardly please any non-Riesling aficionad
Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuisse, Mâcon
“Moderate wood is present on the aromas of prominent mineral reduction and smoky ripe essence of pear, anise and acacia blossom. There is again fine underlying tension to the stony and well-detailed middle weight flavors that terminate in a lingering and youthfully austere finale that is texturally akin to sucking on a small pebble. This isn't exactly rustic though it's clearly not as refined plus it could use better depth so a few years of keeping are advised. Highly recommended provided you
Red Blend from La Rioja, Spain
The very pretty red 2014 Viña Tondonia Reserva is stunning. The blend this year is 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacho and the rest Graciano and Mazuelo. It matured in the old oak vats and well-seasoned American oak barrels for eight years and has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 6.7 grams of acidity. María José told me she noticed the alcohol here compared with other vintages, but I found the wine to be really balanced, combining power and elegance, with energy and a polished and elegant palate.

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
Very deep color. The 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 2025-2038Tom Carson
“Stunning nose of yellow peach, pomelo and fresh pineapple that pulls you into this simultaneously ripe and vibrant dry Riesling. The ripe citrus flavors run right through the palate into the long finish that’s so uplifting it makes you feel good to be alive. So polished and precise.”Stuart Pigott, Jamessuckling.com 95 Points
Chenin Blanc from Savennières, D'Anjou-Saumur
A complex, textural and thrilling Chenin Blanc. Two parcels, one picked earlier and devoid of botrytis, one later with a little botrytis marry seamlessly presenting us with an entrancing creature. Dry Chenin of this standing is truly something special.There’s a certain composure and harmony here. A fine example, the textural elements show a leaning to less alcohol and higher perceived acidity than its sibling ‘La Caillardières’ adding a degree of restraint and sophistication to thi
Sangiovese from Radda UGA, Chianti Classico
Named after a Tuscan word for "one-eyed rascal," the Tenuta di Carleone 2021 Il Guercio (in a bottle with a white wax capsule) is all Sangiovese with up to 40% whole cluster and as a much as five months of extended maceration in cement vats only.The wine delivers a very clear and variety-faithful expression with bright plum, wild cherry and iris root. You can taste the artisanal approach of this pretty wine. There are dusty limestone sensations that add to a cooling finish. Fruit comes from
Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo
This is an excellent evolution for Clerico. The Barolo di Monforte has wonderful harmony. Very expressive, where historically Monforte shows much firmer, structured tannins. Demonstrating how the hand of the maker can create a wine that is more approachable upon release.The tannins are exceptional, long, even and fine. Yes, structurally present in a very good way and with the core of fruit to hold them. This will undoubtedly deliver more in the bottle as it resolves and the secondary devel
This is when knowing the fruit sources of a Bourgogne is important. Dancer's Bourgogne comes straight from two of the big guns!Sourced from two different vineyards, one in Meursault (planted in 2001) and one in Puligny-Montrachet (planted in 1990), the 2018 blend is roughly 70% Puligny and 30% Meursault. Vinified in both tank and old oak, this is villages-level quality—a wine of remarkable gravitas and complexity for its status.“Aromas of white flowers, pear, crisp green apple and
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Fascinating comparison with the Pavelot Dominode 18. There’s a similarity with the fleshy generous fruit and shape to the fruit. The Tollot Beaut goes for a slightly softer mouthfeel with very silky tannins. Like many 2018’s rich mouth filling fruit is at play, a darkness underlying. I’m going to be fascinated to see the Leroux, Pavelot & Tollot-Beaut Savignys evolve over time. As this opens in the glass the air induces refinement and elegance. Delicious wine that in a blind tasting I'
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
An agreeably fresh nose speaks of various white orchard fruit, citrus peel and a hint of oyster shell. The caressing and delicious but solidly punchy middleweight flavors possess good length on the balanced, clean and moderately dry finale. This attractive effort should drink well young as well as age over the mid-term. Drink 2026+Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 PointsLimit 2
Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Ripe aromas of poached pear and apple compote are laced with hints of iodine, lemon rind and a whiff of brine. The succulent, round and sappy middle weight flavors display notably better than average persistence on the citrusy, clean and nicely dry finale. This punches above its weight and is worth a look.
