Vietti Barolo 'Ravera' MAGNUM 2021

Vietti Barolo ‘Ravera’ MAGNUM 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Pretty, red fruit. Beautifully developed. Impeccable élévage. An underlying tar/leather/slate notes layering in intriguing complexity. The Vietti crew have built quite a lot of structure into this Ravera of Novello. A wonderful example of Ravera making for a very complex iteration. Lovely generosity. Fine plush Neb tannin. Divine roses. Impressive!  Bud-break & harvest is around 2-3 weeks later than most of the other Communes for Vietti.Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED Sept 2025The 202

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru 'Charmes-Chambertin' 2020
The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has turned out especially well, wafting from the glass with aromas of peonies, sweet wild berries, orange rind, loamy soil and rose petals. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, with velvety tannins and an ample core of vibrant, perfumed fruit, it concludes with a long, seamless finish. This may well emerge as Lignier's finest Charmes of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 trio.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93-95+

Domaine de Montille Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Aux Malconsorts' 2022
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, once again the nose is overtly floral in character with its exuberantly spicy nose of various dark berries, soy, exotic tea and sandalwood. The sleek, intense and delineated flavors are at once refined yet powerful with a taut muscularity becoming more apparent on the dusty, youthfully austere and stony finish that is compact and very serious. Patience. (from a .97 ha holding; 80% whole clusters). Drink: 2034+ ♥ Don’t miss! OutstandingAllen

Domaine Faiveley Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2022

Domaine Faiveley Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2022

Chardonnay | Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy

Soft wood sets off the cool, pretty and elegant aromas of honeysuckle, white orchard fruit and abundant spice and floral nuances, especially acacia. The dense and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess a highly seductive mid-palate mouthfeel that contrasts mildly with the firm, youthfully austere and impressively long finale where the wood treatment progressively resurfaces. This needs to develop more depth but that is all but assured if given a chance.92-94 Points, Allen Meadows – Burgho

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2022

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Clos de la Roche 2022

Pinot Noir | Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy

There is an interesting hint of smoked meat character to the spicy plum, newly turned earth and softly floral-scented nose. Once again there is an appealing texture to the broad-shouldered and muscular flavors that possess fine volume before concluding in a very firmly structured and impressively long finale. This too could use better depth but this should make for impressive old bones if given a chance. (from a .32 ha parcel) 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (93-95) Points

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Grand Cru Echezeaux 2022

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Grand Cru Echezeaux 2022

Pinot Noir | Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy

This is the first wine to display any meaningful level of reduction and here it’s enough to push the fruit to the background. By contrast there is a lovely sense of verve and freshness on the palate of the sleek but intense and generously proportioned medium weight plus flavors that coat the mouth on the sneaky long finish. While this could use better depth, the underlying material is such that more is all but guaranteed to develop. (from a .11 ha parcel in Poullailères). 2034+Allen Mead

Domaine Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru 'Genevrières' 2022
This is also airy and cool with a beautifully layered nose featuring notes of green apple, white flowers and a discreet hint of exotic tea. The almost painfully intense, sleek and tension-filled flavors display beautiful cut and minerality while delivering superb length on the chiseled, linear and youthfully austere finale. This is seriously impressive with fine depth and length, indeed this is altogether classy. If you can find it, buy it. ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghoun

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Grand Cru Bonnes-Mares 2020
Here too the nose is overtly floral in character with its layered blend of red and dark raspberry, warm earth and discreet spice wisps. There is again very fine mid-palate density to the slightly bigger-bodied tension-filled flavors that flash evident muscle and power on the moderately austere, firmly structured and impressively long finish. Patience strongly advised. 2035+ (from a .24 ha mix of two-thirds terres rouges and one-third terres blanches).Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 Points

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC MAGNUM 2019

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC MAGNUM 2019

Bordeaux Blend | Bolgheri, Italy

Ornellaia is undoubtedly the refined lady of the estate. The reviews for the 2019 are full of superlatives. Hope to get a little of this in a glass soon.For a long time I was unconvinced wines made from French varieties made in Italy. One wine stands out as changing my mind, 1990 Ornellaia, thanks Lou!Beautifully balanced and poised it was poured at an open wine night where the only criterion was that it had to be bloody good!62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% C

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti MAGNUM 2016

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti MAGNUM 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2015 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti captures everything that makes Nebbiolo so seductive. The 2016 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is an exotic, totally beguiling wine laced with super-classic Nebbiolo notes of rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon and macerated cherry. Aromatic, sensual and constantly changing in the glass, the Pajè Vecchie Viti is everything Nebbiolo and Barbaresco are supposed to be. The complexity here is just unreal.Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Roagna Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti MAGNUM 2016
The 2016 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is a big, statuesque wine. Of all the 2016 Barbarescos, the Montefico seems to be the wine that is still recovering most from its bottling, about two months before this tasting. The vertical structure of Montefico is evident, as are the intense tannins. Deeply savory and mineral, the Montefico is a wine for readers who can afford to wait for it.Antonio Galloni, Vinous
