Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo
This is the best Monprivato Sordo has made. So I need to go and pop the cork on a 2016 and 2015 ... just to make sure! Sordo's Monprivato has moved up the ladder a couple of rungs this year.The pedigree of this vineyard sees it sitting alongside Villero as one of the finest Barolo vineyards. At ½ the price of Giuseppe Mascarello’s this is exceptional value. An elegance yet intensity, the delicacy that is the hallmark of Monprivato when on song is here. Some would use the term Burgundian,
Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
Discreet wood influence sets off ripe and expressive aromas of petrol, acacia blossom and hazelnut. The bigger-bodied and more powerful medium weight flavors possess reasonably good mid-palate density while exhibiting a taut muscularity on the youthfully austere, firm and serious finale that also flirts with rusticity. This is classic Poruzots though one that should be approachable after only 5-ish years. Drink: 2030+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 90-93 Points
Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo
On openning the Pira was all beefstock, savoury with a hint of reduction. Revisited with 15 hours in the glass. There you have it DJ Luca has been at it again. The fruit has come to the fore. The faded flowers so common with great wines from Castiglione Falleto are shining along with red fruit, orange and a hint of baking spice. It’s the shape, focus, mouthfeel and exceptional interplay between fruit of depth and length weighted beautifully against long even tannin matched to vibrant acid that
Montepuliciano from Abruzzo, Italy
The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota is intense, trading grace for power in this vintage, with a burst of dried black cherries, dusty sage, roses and Indian spice forming its bouquet. This splashes across the palate, spicy with ultra-ripe wild berry fruits that saturate, expertly balanced by a core of zesty acidity. The 2019 leaves a staining of primary concentration and grippy tannins, puckering the cheeks with youthful tension as salted licorice and balsamic spice notes fade. The 2019 C
Montepuliciano from Abruzzo, Italy
“The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Volta is a spice box on the nose, with wilted violets and hints of spiced-orange, white smoke, clove and dried black cherries. It's pleasantly sweet upon entry, with a cool toned feel and lavender-laced wild berry fruits that gain in tension and complexity as a flinty-mineral concentration forms toward the close. This resonates like liquid velvet, leaving sweet tannins offset by hints of sour citrus, finishing long and potent. The balance within is other
“The 2023 Riesling Cuvée Ste. Catherine Schlossberg Grand Cru still has a flinty crackle of reduction that lays itself on fine pear and citrus notions. The palate is juicy, light, bright, stony and beautifully svelte with a lovely, zesty tension. Crystalline clarity defines the 2023. (Bone-dry)”Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 96 Points SP 99
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru is a worthy follow-up to the impressive 2022. Very complex and harmonious on the nose, it just could not be from anywhere but Chassagne, combining very subtle yellow fruit notes with stirring mineralité. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's quite energetic at the moment, which will hopefully be captured in the bottle. There's a very sustained spicy aftertaste that completes a great Chassagne.”Neal Martin, V
Bordeaux Blend from Hawke's Bay, North Island
Perfumed Refined Goodness! A single vineyard wine until 1989, Coleraine is an blend of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest Havelock Hills vineyards, first planted in 1892. Always a cabernet sauvignon dominant wine, often with merlot and cabernet franc, Coleraine is refined and classical, demonstrating the immense potential for Bordeaux blends in Hawke’s Bay. In fact, it looks mroe Bordelais than most Aussie Cabernet.Very powerful in its youth, t
Bürklin's 2021 Ungeheuer G.C. is clear, deep and intense as well as flinty on the saline and lemony nose that combines richness and intensity with precision and freshness. Pure, saline and very fresh on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and savory, enormously tight and even finely tannic Ungeheuer with fine grip and a saline finish with ripe, concentrated fruit. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022. Drink 2028-2052Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advo
Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo
The Clerico Barolo 'Aeroplanservaj' sees us moving to the Teodore MGA in the Commune of Serralunga. A beautiful perfume, red fruits and vibrant energy. Excellent fruit profile building to show an exceptional mid-palate with faded flowers, tea leaves and blood orange at play. Tannins are bold and firm, grape first and pure. With patience, they will yield something quite beautiful.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedThe Domenico Clerico 2021 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj is a powerful expression of Nebbio
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
A suggestion of herbal tea lurks in the background of the fresh and bright aromas of citrus zest, acacia blossom and passion fruit. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the slightly less concentrated but seductively textured flavors that conclude in a balanced and lingering finish. This could use better depth so at least a few years of keeping are in order. Drink: 2028+Allen Meadows, Burghound 91 Points ♥ OutstandingThe 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru has to
Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits
There's a great purity & vibrancy to Magnien's wines. His Sentiers is classic Chambolle! A slightly more elegant and more floral-suffused nose displays notes of violet, lavender and plum liqueur. There is fine mid-palate density to the suave and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract before terminating in a bitter pit fruit and nicely balanced finale. This is also quite good with an understated delivery. Drink: 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound 90
