Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 1999

Price on Application – Contact us.Full ruby-red. Extraordinarily perfumed, profound nose combines tangy black raspberry, rose petal, coffee and game; essence of Cote de Nuits pinot noir. Lush, sweet and seamless; wonderfully silky and aromatic in the mouth. Truly palate-staining wine, with compelling sweetness and smooth, thoroughly buffered tannins.Stephen Tanzer, Vinous 94+ Points Tasted Mar 2002The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambertin Clos de Beze has a beguiling

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Mazy-Chambertin’ 2002

Price on Application – Contact us.There is a slightly cloudy aspect to the appearance. This has begun to turn secondary with overtly earthy and sauvage characters to the perfumed and pure aromas that lead to rich, punchy, intense and tautly muscular flavors that exude a fine minerality on the utterly delicious, balanced and long if robustl finish where a hint of wood surfaces. I have had two very different experiences with this wine as one bottle seemed relatively light and almost rea

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de la Roche’ 1999

Price on Application – Contact us.An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed nose is still relatively primary with its combination of various red berries, earth and soft earth and leather nuances. There is excellent size and weight to the seductively rich but overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that deliver outstanding length where the only minor nit is a touch of warmth. This remains notably robust and will need at least another 5 to 10 years to arrive at its full peak. In a word, impres

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de la Roche’ 2002

Price on Application – Contact us.Like night and day between this and the Mazis as here there is much more weight, size, earth and power with a much firmer tannic spine plus an edgier, more complex finish. This is still a bit awkward but it should benefit from another 6 months in cask. This too could be the best Rousseau Clos de la Roche in several vintages.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 Points Tasted Jan 2004 Drink: Try from 2008-2017The 2002 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru ha

Domaine Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru ‘Clos des Ruchottes’ Monopole 2002

Price on Application – Contact us.Initially this opens with just enough reduction to push the fruit to the background so if you're going to try a bottle anytime soon I would strongly suggest decanting it first. Once the reduction clears off there are airy and cool notes of Asian-style green tea, truffle and an array of red berry fruit scents. The intense and intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors display excellent vibrancy on the beautifully long if ever-so-slightly edgy and y

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Charmes-Chambertin’ 2002

Price on Application – Contact us.This too is very forward and pretty but there's more depth and structure than usual. The medium weight flavors are very supple, ripe and nicely elegant with mouth coating sap and relatively pliant tannins. There is better finishing intensity than usual and this is the best vintage of this wine than I've seen in a while.< Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 Points Tasted Jan 2004Palish medium red.

Dolcetto from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

Domenico Clerico Dolcetto ‘Visadi’ 2023

A ripping juicy, beautifully developed Dolcetto with fine acid. Playful with slatey mid-palate grip. Grape spice, red to blue fruit. Solid depth and length. Effortless and thirst quenching. Beautifully weighted. Excellent transparency. Lovely perfume.The careless approach many makers take to Dolcetto is a real bugbear of mine. It has been said by more than one great maker that you should taste Dolcetto to rate the standing of a producer. The worst offenders are too ripe, over-extracted,

Garganega from Soave, Veneto

Gini Soave Classico 2022

Fresh crisp, lovely core of fruit. Line of acid with strong textural intrigue. Very fine line of silvery bitterness, excellent development in the context of the style. Spice baking at play with good drive to finish. Fun wine. Great expression. A Soave of importance at this level."The 2021 Soave Classico is remarkably pretty with yellow flowers, wet stone and freshly sliced pear. This is mineral and focused upon entry, with perfume orchard fruits and a saly flourish that returns toward th

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Talenti Rosso di Montalcino 2022

A staple on the Wine Decoded list! Another ripping Rosso from Talenti. Superb balance and texture. Plush with beautiful supple tannins, luscious fruit, juicy acid, and plenty of intrigue.Just like Talenti's Brunello this has to be one of the best value Rosso's year in year out. It too has great harmony and is delicious straight out of the gate.  It's like Dr Evil's Mini Me! All that red fruit, earthiness, baking spices, woody herbs, great energy and much, much more.

Dolcetto translates roughly to sweetish. Many Dolcettos are raw fruit bombs, this by contrast is some seriously well made wine!
