Tiberio Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOP 2023

Trebbiano | Italy, Abruzzo

"... this is really a baby Fonte Canale, so you know this offers a ton of value for the money."Another cracking white from Tiberio. I have just 1 bottle of 2021 Fonte Canale (Tiberio's top of the wazza Trebbiano vying for the best white of Italy) for myself. Given the quality of this entry level Trebbiano, my expectation are through the roof!A superb core of fruit. The texture of this wine is fascinating, saline and chalky with cleansing grip focused on the front to mid-palate that gives

Tiberio Montepuliciano d’Abruzzo DOP 2022

Montepuliciano | Italy, Abruzzo

In it's youth it needs plenty of air. You could easily drink a bottle over a few days. Put your decanter to work and throw this puppy around. Immediately, it weaves together, the loose edges smoothen, and the expression builds. A rich wine that remains energetic. Red and dark fruited, layered with baking spices, cloves and florals. Slatey tannins with a playful grip cleanse. Proper wine that will offer much more with time in bottle. It's an impressive introduction to Tiberio's reds. I can't wait

Aphelion Trenery Single Vineyard Grenache 2021

Grenache | South Australia, Australia

Fascinating set of three wines. The Trenerry is the most perfumed roses, a little menthol, on red fruits, rhubarb and a little orange citrus. Fine, delicate and Pinotesque. Herbal stalk spice with a little grip from stalk tannin. Playful and fun. Fruit builds depth and length in the glass. A freshness, lively acidity and perfume. It will be fascinating to see how this resolves and builds in the bottle over the coming years.

Francesco Versio Langhe Nebbiolo 2020
Superb! Bravi Francesco!🍷

Francesco Versio Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Neive, Italy

The 'Side Project' of ex-Bruno Giacosa's winemaker Francesco Versio ... His 1st Langhe Neb Release! There is no mistaking the quality here. It all makes sense when you discover the fruit is destined to make Barbaresco, sourced from the 50:50 Starderi and Currà cru. Seriously good P.1.S.S. Call it a cheap Barbaresco instead of a Langhe Neb. Perfume and energy with divine mouthfeel. Juicy, thirst quenching and still with plenty more to come!

Domaine Marcel Deiss 'Ribeauvillé' 2020
DRY

Domaine Marcel Deiss ‘Ribeauvillé’ 2020

White Blend | France, Alsace

Riesling ~ Sylvanner ~ Pinot Blanc = Seamless, Delicious, Expressive, Beautiful! A blend of mostly Riesling and a small percentage of the Sylvaner and Pinot Blanc.Riesling shining through with perfumed, white flowers, elderflower, lemon citrus and baking spices.  This one reminds me of the 2017, fine boned, a sophistication yet with the hallmark complexity and textural intrigue that Deiss always manages to achieve. The quality, line and length of acid here is insane, so gentle yet with a

Excellent development heading down a very savoury line with a little shroomy funk that you often get in wines with this acid profile. That fine sherbety citric acid feel here too. The fruit builds, an excellent core of length and a balance of textural phenolics. Sating thirst with a lythe, transparent palate. Loads of tension, drinking beautifully now. A couple of years in bottle will see more on offer.It’s a wine that sits comfortably in its own skin. A sign that it’s maker does lik

Building in seriousness over the two playful entry level wines.  The tannin profile much longer with a little more depth. More development and complexity shows in an earthy and savoury profile. This will build with a little time. A little spice and a delicate layer of well weighted oak at play.The 2022 Finca de Los Locos is slightly riper than the 2021, with 14% alcohol and a rounder mouthfeel. It matured in 3,500-liter oak vats for one year. It feels young and primary but surprisingly

Fascinating tasting this with Burghound’s note and next to a 2020 Guillard ‘Reniard’ from Gevrey-Chambertin. The villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune and Chorey-lès-Beaune tend to show the sunshine a little more compared to those both further south and north. Dark and clearly ripe, Pavelot has maintained energy and vitality. The tannins build to a crescendo along the palate balancing the richness with a fine acid. The shape and flow are generous, yet linear with that quality tannin and persist

Praeter Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Barolo Cru Druca Fruit from the Vineyards of Luigi Oddero! Historically from the La Morra Specola Cru from 2020 the fruit is sourced from the Druca Cru in Barolo. Declassified Barolo! Not for quality, but, for the shorter ageing timeframe. BOOM! The rest of the fruit from this Cru goes into the Langhe Nebbiolo. Specola is now bottled as a Cru Barolo with some of the fruit going into the Classico.The shift in Cru was based on a desire to find fruit with softer tannin to handle 100% wholebunc

A little intro to Antoniolo's Nebbiolo wines. Juvenia is from the final two cru sites, Valferana and Borelle. It's unoaked. I couldn't find any details of how it's matured. Suffice to say given the skill with the Riserva level wines it's not surprising that for its standing the Juvenia marries freshness with development beautifully. At just 13% alcohol it has a density that you wouldn't see in Barolo or Barbaresco at the same alcohol. Bright, fine acid balance the fruit and dusty front-mid palat

Lovely shape, flow and texture fine, sophisticated and elegant. A strong follow-up with more immediate approachability than the 2021 with plenty more to come. Nice subtle reductive line. Complexing beautifully with florals and the saline twist. Exceptional texture and length.To keep the volume of the 2022 Alberto Nanclares, they had to sacrifice the Paraje Mina, Crisopa and Coccinela bottlings and add them to this cuvée. They are very careful with the environment in their vineyards;

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2021
Tre Bicchieri 🍷🍷🍷

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2021

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Chianti Classico

Damn! My note is almost identical to the 2020!Radda is one of the cooler parts of Chianti Classico, as with the 2020, Sean has done the 2021 justice. Dominated by dark fruits with a pop of fresh red fruits layered with stalk spices & a little earthiness.There’s harmony & flow in this seamless elegant Chianti. Finishing with a fine sweep of bitterness that cleanses, followed by lingering flavours and a fine refreshing line of acid.A certain delicacy. The fine long tannins wi
