I had to have a bottle before our stock ran out! Ripped the cork out of the last bottle in stock. Drank it over 3 days. My note simply read 'GET MORE'! Although this wine has increased in price considerably over the years, so has the quality.'Between Two Mountains' stands held high amongst its peers from Burgundy's Côte de Nuits that sell for far more. The purity, harmony, texture, flow, complexity, energy, perfume and layering are a demonstration of the hard work in the vineyard and de

Transparency with excellent shape and just a little grip. Transcendent perfume, rising over restrained fruit of significantly more length over the Mari Mango. Layered complex and quite delicious.Paul Kaan, Win Decoded“This is the only pinot noir from 2023 from POCW. About a third is whole bunch across all the clones and sites on the estate vineyard.

From the vineyard Frontebosco, in front of the forrest. Big jump in mid-palate weight from the Contrada Volpare with more exotics coming through in the mix. This is impressive, the underlying saline thing is there. Beautiful shape and flow, fans out building persistence and lingering citrus oils.Builds beautifully, super fine acid and nuanced, sophisticated phenolics that cleanse subtly. Seamless, harmonious and complete.Plenty more to come here. Drink it over 3-4 days & watch it s

From the vineyard Frontemare, in front of the sea. The first release of the sister wine to the Frontebosco.More tightly wound at the moment everything appears to be there in all the right places it just needs a little more time to build generosity which it most certainly will.Finer acid if that's even possible. Citrus and soft green herbs again chalky and more mineral characters in the mix. A lovely transparency and fine finish without any broadness. Building more mid-palate weight in

The Maugeri 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare Frontebosco (with 6,200 bottles created) comes from a vineyard adjacent to a forest with ancient stone terracing, as its name "Frontebosco" suggests. It's not just the power of suggestion, because you do pick up on hints of balsam herb or forest floor beyond white fruit and peach. The wine ages on lees for eight months (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). These techniques (or lack thereof) contribute to the wine's linear and

The most mineral-driven of these new releases from Maugeri is the 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Praino Frontemare. This is a young winery with enormous promise ahead of it. Grapes for this 3,300-bottle release come from a vineyard site on the east side of the volcano that faces the sea and has steep stone terraces on sandy, mineral-rich soils and yellowish clay. The wine spends eight months on the fine lees (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). The result offers salty flavor

This Climat is almost an extension of the slopes where the Grands Crus grow, with only a small path separating them. Sitting directly alongside Les Preuses, the proximity to its illustrious neighbours results in powerful, mineral wines.This could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its equally cool, elegant and airy aromas of white-fleshed fruit, floral, iodine and subtle passion fruit-scanted nose. The super-sleek, refined and energetic medium weight flavors possess both ample mineral

2010! That's Right!

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2010

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Here’s a wine that it pays to know the inside story. Many of you know Sordo currently has 8 Cru wines with more in the pipeline. The two most recent additions have been their Monprivato and Villero. Although they have had worked with the vineyards and fruit for decades they haven’t bottled them individually. So where did the fruit end up? In 2010 it ended up right here in the Barolo Classico and it shows!The La Morra portion, the majority is Galina. With fruit from the likes of Scarrone,

This is the largest and most famous Grand Cru; its fame based on its history as one of Chablis’ first vineyards. The appellation enjoys a southerly aspect with very white, dense and deep clay soil, resting on a limestone bed 80 cm below the ground, which brings to the wine those spicy notes so typical of this terroir.Note: from 4 separate parcels totaling 4.11 ha, 3 of which are all at the top of the slope. If Kimmeridgian could be distilled, it would likely smell exactly like the nos

Excellent drinking. Drink this while you wait for the Grenouille to build. Line, length, texture, with a sufficient generosity giving it approachability in youth without adding any of the clumsy bits. Classic, delicious, delicate. Wonderful élévage making for a complete wine.0.20 ha of 80 year-old vines, the same age as Beugnons. Only replaced with massale selections.A pure and elegant nose features notes of citrus zest, mineral reduction, iodine and hints of algae. There is again
