Nebbiolo from Grinzane Cavour, Barolo
Wines like these are so rare that it is impossible to try them before they land in the country and they invariably sell out before you get to! His vineyards in Grinzane Cavour were inherited by his father in law. Adding an addition 1 hectare to the 1.5 hectares of Paiagallo. Still making for a tiny production.
Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont
A component that was previously blended into the Barolo del Barolo. A beautiful perfume lifts from the glass. An extra pop of perceived acidity makes for tannins with a playful edge to the mid-palate adding pleasure. Truffles, earthiness, darkness, with energy. Of the first three Barolos this will need more time to resolve. Serious gear. Winemaker’s hat on I can see why they separated. It will clearly give so much more with a few years in bottle.A presence yet sophistication of perfume a
Shiraz/Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône
Deceptive intensity and depth on a transparent framework with superfine fruit of sophistication. A wonderful perfume lifts above. Delicate layers of complexing elements: spice, earthiness & woody herbs. Elegant & fine. Orange citrus & red fruit mingle seamlessly. Deftly developed showing the skilled touch Villard has.François looks at this wine as the Holy Grail! Delicious now, yet, with incredible ageing potential.François is making stunning wine.

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo
Fenocchio's Castellero comes from a cooler site east facing site. With similar soils to Cannubi. Darker fruited than Cannubi. Ripe, layered, nutty tannins, with an elegant, composed wine with a dark edge, lovely acidity support perfectly weighted core of fruit with a balanced richness. Claudio's preference is to harvest on the earlier side, whilst making sure the tannins are suitably ripe for the vintage. It shows here in the energey of fine texture of the wine.Tasting this alongside a 2019
Barbera from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo
The 2017 Barbera d'Alba Gabutti captures all of the natural richness of the vintage in spades. Super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, mint, rose petal, star anise and blood orange are some of the many sensations that develop with some air. Though classically built in terms of structure, the 2017 is decidedly ripe in its expression of fruit. This is a very serious wine. Time in the glass really helps bring things together and tone down some of the most exotic ripeness that is present at the outset.An
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
One of Leroux’s close friends owns these vines in the heart of the 1er Cru on the east-facing Beaune side of Savigny. The most elegant Savigny wines tend to come from this area, so it is perfect for powerful years. Like most Côte d’Or terrain, the soils are clay/limestone, but the clay is light and sandy. So, although there’s more flesh than in the village cuvée, there is also greater finesse. All the fruit was destemmed this year, and again, it is a wonderfully bright and juicy renditio
Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
‘Les Corbeaux’ is bordered one side by the Grand Cru Mazis Chambertin! Takes me to a very happy place! Red fruits florals detailed and fine clofoutis and spicy earthy deep fruit, there is some finely detailed florals and red fruits flowing into darker fruits, very classy.Super silky and mouth filling rounded tannins and length of fruit fine and impeccable balance and length, this will be very long lived and as a 1er cru the detail and finesse of the wine shines through.Drink 2035-204
Red Blend from Amandi, Ribeira Sacra
Guímaro’s wines draw you in. At this level, they move well beyond and above the playful, juby, joven styles.

This is from a plot planted with the classical field blend found in the

Chenin Blanc from Saumur, D'Anjou-Saumur
Chenin. Take the syrup from poached quince and mix it with Créme pâtissière. Entrancing. Lovely, feel like I’m cooking quince. Long fine, excellent acid, draws you in, alive with personality. Bone dry! Phenolics here are interesting, dusty rather than oily. They have a wonderful cleansing feel. Savory with a little oxidative character just enough to add intrigue. Fun. Very good.
