Artuke ‘Paso las Manas’ Rioja Tinto 2022

Tempranillo | Spain, Alavesa

Moving into a more blue fruited profile over the 2022 Artuke 'Paso Las Mãnas', plush long even mouthfeel, nutty ripe tannins, a little savoury play. Beautifully balanced with super fine long acid. A faint lick of oak tannin adding evenness to the tannin profile. 100% Temp from 750-800mm ASL. Plenty more to come as this builds and lengthen with time. A nice step commensurate with the coin.The 2022 Paso Las Mañas was selected from the 3.9 hectares of Tempranillo and has similar parameter

Artuke ‘Trascuevas’ Rioja Bianco 2022

White Blend | Spain, Alavesa

Mostly Viura with a splash of Malvasia and Palomino in the blend.  Chalky acid with a little phenolic grip. Perfumed with jasmine nectar and grapefruit notes.,  Maple syrup, tea and a pinch of baking spices. A fascinating drink. Excellent acid profile over a mid-weight frame. A little oxidative handling offers nutty and toasty pops whilst the wine remains fresh. An energising approach, quite different to the super oxidative Viuras. A ripping incarnation.The 2022 Finca de Los Locos is s

Boldest, most immediately generous of this set of 2022's. Red and blue fruited. Carries through to the palate. Building in the glass. Friendly, so easy to drink. Deceptively, less cerebral than the Pico. Great transparency. Seamless and plenty of fun.Paul Kaan, Wine DecocdedI love the elegant, floral and nuanced nose of the 2022 El Rapolao, sourced from a plot in the coldest part of the village, where the soils are rich in iron and organic matter. It fermented with 25% full clusters

Super expressive, elegant & complex. Nose is complete and intoxicating out of the gate (tasted form a bottle under Coravin for a month). Great drinking flow shape and expression. The tannin and flavour from the stalk work adds interest. Delicacy with refinement. Savoury with licorice and spice playing with  woody herbs, baking spice. Edge of grip that intrigues. Perfumed.  Vibrant with a wonderful core of fruit. Earthy, forest floor & truffles at play. A lot to love here. Paul Kaa

Delicious again their seems to be a lift in the flow shape and texture, elegance and refinement here for Weil. Stunning wine. Richness and delicacy. Chalky acid phenolic complex. Fine elegant delicious. Fine acid. Perfumed white flowers. Power of fruit with weightlessness. Soft acid. The most exceptional lime cordial fruit.  More delicacy and white flowers. Each of these wines would stand beautifully on its own. “The 2021 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Trocken is pure and coolish on the

Forjas del Salnés 'Leirana - Finca Genoveva' Albariño 2021
150-200 Year Old Vines!
The Finca Genoveva is showing more complexity on the nose at this early stage in its life compared with the ‘A Telleira’, I suspect it won’t be long before they sit on par.Providing the definition of high-quality super fine acid. Like the ‘A Telleira’ the mouthfeel gently laces your tongue with a sheer delicacy. The scent Gutiérez describes is here, I’d add a little lanolin to the mix.It carries through to the palate, wrapping the core of intriguing flavours with those citru

Simply delicious. Ridiculous for the coin. Citrus oils & ripe lemon juice from the kind of lemon you’d eat like an orange.Gutiérrez comment on development is interesting. I’d add that this is development pre-bottling as a winemaking choice. An approach that for mine offers more complete wine that has seen valuable exposure to oxygen that only help fruit of this quality harmonise and build complexity.Yes, there is a hint of straw & lanolin. It wraps a vibrant, energetic cor

Enticing set of aromas & perfume showing their indigenous grape varieties and the complexity of the blend they offer. Beautiful mousse and fine textured phenolics harmonised by time on lees with excellent mid-palate weight. Phenolics are superb with a complex array of flavours, savoury, saline, earthy, a little rose. Almond and marzipan with a balancing, cleansing silvery bitterness. Beautifully balanced for 0g/l dose showing wonderful generosity of expression yet elegance. Woody herbs at pl

André Clouet Silver Brut Nature NV

Pinot Noir | Champagne, Ambonnay

Zero dosage wines have nowhere to hide! They simply must stand on their own two feet! The depth of fruit flows full length of your tongue finding it's way through juicy mineral acid of great length. The incredible purity of the wine is strikes instantly. As it warms a little the expression of Pinot comes through and you realise just how necessary the acid is in order to tame the rich fruit. Available in Magnum!

Rainoldi Nebbiolo Brut Rosé 2018

Rosé | Valtellina, Inferno

First released in 1980! Cracking 'Metodo Classico' fizz from Valtellina! I've had some solid sparkling Nebbiolo from Piedmont before. None quite like this!

La Ca’ Növa Barbaresco 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2021 Barbaresco is exquisite. Bright and delineated, with tons of energy, the 2021 bristles with saline-infused energy. Red berry fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint and white pepper lend tons of energy to this deceptively mid-weight, nervy young Barbaresco. Vineyard sites are Ovello, Cole and Loreto.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points

What a wonderful exploration of Trebbiano the wines of Ciavolich, Tiberio and Emidio Pepe. On the continuum Tiberio is the freshest with least oxidative handling, Ciavolich is in the middle and Emidio Pepe has the full beans! All are delightful expression and all that is left for us to do is enjoy and celebrate the difference.Aged in amphore Ciavolich's Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 'Fosso Cancelli' has a core of quality fruit that easily handles the oxidative winemaking, whilst still being laced by a
