Nerello Mascalese from Etna, Sicily
Meaning New Lava Flow it's young soils have not broken down to release as much nutrient as the olds flows. Treating the vines mean and keeping them lean! The Passopisciaro 2023 Contrada S is 100% Nerello Mascalese from 90-year-old vines planted at 850 meters in elevation in Contrada Sciaranuova. This feels richer and meatier, with dark fruit and 15% alcohol that you certainly feel. It offers fewer high-toned aromas and relies instead on sheer power and muscle. The wine matures for 18 months in l
Nerello Mascalese from Etna, Sicily
The Highest Elevation Contrada owned by Passopisciaro making delicious Ethereal wines! The 2023 Rosso Contrada R evolves in the glass, youthfully tight and complex, with dusty earth and rose tones that open the stage for citrus-inflected cherries and nuances of wet stones. This envelops the palate with soothingly round, creamy textures as ripe blackberries mix with exotic spice and licorice notes throughout. The 2023 finishes long and quite spicy, leaving a pleasantly bitter tinge and grippy ta
Nerello Mascalese from Etna, Sicily
Guardiola higher elevation puts it on the more elegant side of the scales! The Passopisciaro 2023 Contrada G is 100% Nerello Mascalese from 140-year-old alberello vines planted in Contrada Guardiola, one of my absolute favorite sites on the volcano and one that consistently produces some of the Etna reds I love most. Sourced from vines at 800 meters in elevation in pyroclastic volcanic soils, the wine shows beautiful elegance and fruit that works so nicely within this exceptionally made, well-ma
Nerello Mascalese from Etna, Sicily
Made with 100% Nerello Mascalese from Contrada Chiappemacine, the Passopisciaro 2023 Contrada C offers lovely intensity and a wholesome aromatic approach. Silky and steady in character, it delivers lavender, rosemary, bramble, wild fennel, mountain herbs and volcanic stone. The 90-year-old vines are planted at 550 meters in elevation in mixed limestone and volcanic soils, giving the wine a distinctive combination of floral lift, territorial character and grounded presence. The wine matures for 1
Red Blend from Gratallops, Priorat
Excellent. So fine and long, great persistence, harmony and intrigue. Poise, balance, complexity and personality. Bright fruits with mineral acid. Slatey, earthy, savour with some darker fruits. Inredible vitality, such sublte energetic fruit.Paul KaanInitially quite a mineral nose with a blend of earth and gun smoke, this gives way to concentrated layers of red and black cherry, blueberry yoghurt and liquorice spice. The palate is bright and full-bodied, with firm savoury tannins an
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
"Dry Wine of the Vintage!" Jean Fisch & David Rayer, Mosel Fine Wines AP: 16 21. The 2020er Marienburg Rothenpfad GG, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, was fermented spontaneously in traditional oak casks from fruit harvested in an iron-rich part of the Marienburg vineyard. It offers a great nose made of pear, vineyard peach, strawberry, laurel, cinnamon, and fine smoky elements. The wine proves impeccably balanced on the dry but not bone-dry palate. A ripe sense of zest provid
Chardonnay from Viré-Clessé, Mâcon
Wow! Initially a little spritz that swirled of quickly, the protective nature of dissolved CO2 goes some way to explaining why this wine looks younger than the “2020 Retour a Terre”. Bottling with a little CO2 is a sign that they see this as a wine for the longer haul. It is obsolete to repeat many of Kelley’s remarks. It’s clear that the fruit is exceptional, the mid-palate weight, always a sign of quality Chardonnay, is impressive, along with the flow, shape and texture. Incred
Albariño from Val do Salnés, Rìas Baixas
170 year old pre-phylloxera vines.Skin contact and oxidative handling are beautifully balanced. Savoury and earthy with that Albariño fresh green herb hit. Fascinating to watch it freshen in the glass, bruised apple falls away & the fruit shines. A fine phenolic grip & spice from the skin contact add intrigue.Opens beautifully on both nose and palate over several hours, intensity builds & it flows gracefully. Keeps getting fresher, and fresher. A clear sign of quality f
White Wine from Valdeorras, Galicia
Huge jump in depth and length over the 'Loura'. A layer of oxidative development adding complexity to the fruit weight. A more refreshing mouthfeel along combines with a step up in salinity. The nutty, lees complex a faintly toasty line. The core of citrus rind / oil fruit easily holding its own. Excellent balance and expression. A complete harmonious wine without artefact. Drinks beautifully with a day open. A little baking spice. Loads of nuance. Seriously sharp wine.The 2022 As Sortes
Nebbiolo from Treiso, Barbaresco
Yet another superb 2021 Barbaresco. Clarity, purity & persistence. Sitting at 14%, the vitality of the 2021 Rombone is clear. A thread of acid sits in synergy with fine, long, grape-first chalky tannins. On the redder side of the fruit spectrum, showing the touch of skilled hands, particularly during time on skins as the mouthfeel caresses. It has much going on with a perfume balanced by an earthiness wrapping the core of fruit. A triumph!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Oct 2024
Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune
“Aromas of sweet berry fruit, warm spices, forest floor and raw cocoa preface the 2019 Beaune Les Epenottes, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and structured wine that's quite tightly wound, with fine concentration, lively acids and ripe tannins that assert themselves on the finish. This will require a bit of patience, but its track record for aging with grace is excellent.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 90+ Points JM 90-92
Pinot Noir from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
The reds of Chassagne a little secret that's slowly making its way out of the bag. I had one of Alex's red the 1978 monopole Morgeot 'La Cardeuse' in September 2020. In a word stunning. Ask Alex and he'll tell you the soil profile is very similar to Chambolle in that neck of the woods.A ripe, fresh and relatively deeply pitched nose reveals notes of pepper and earth inflected dark berries and plum. The nicely rich and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess a supple and round mid-palate while
