Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #5 2020

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

AP: 05 21. The 2020er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese AP 05 was made essentially from grapes harvested in the Gerdsgrub and Fergert sectors of the vineyard and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It proves still rather backward and marked by residual scents from its spontaneous fermentation. After a while subtly apricot-infused flavors of melon, cassis, blueberry, blackberry, and aniseed herbs emerge from the glass. The wine proves subtle, intensely cream, and nic

Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La Fussière Rouge 2021

Pinot Noir | France, Burgundy

“Almost black in the centre. Black cherry, very powerful indeed with some firm tannins and still very good acidity. Sterner and weightier, not for the ethereal minded. The wine had not yet been adjusted for sulphur and a second sample was fresher, though along similar lines.” Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy 89-92 Points “The 2020 Maranges La Fussière 1er Cru which contains slightly less whole bunch than the Village, has a more austere, well-defined, stony bouquet featuring dark berry

Laurent Tribut Chablis 2020

A restrained nose timidly expresses its aromas of petrol, sea breeze and white orchard fruit. The nicely rich, round and delicious middle weight flavors possess good density while delivering fine length on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. This is an attractive villages and worth consideration. Drink 2024+ Allen Meadows, Burghound ♥ Outstanding Top Value 89-91 Points

Terre Nere ‘Le Vigne Calderara Sottana’ Etna Bianco 2022

Carricante | Sicily, Etna

The only white ‘Grand Cru’ that Marco makes. Unlike Terre Nere's Etna Bianco DOC, which is made up of a blend of 5 white grapes, the “Vigne Niche” selection is only Carricante. Complete. Seamless, fine, delicious, flowing, complex. beautifully developed fruit with such finely textured, refreshing acidity. A great way to finish a divine set of white contrade from Marco. With a bouquet like chiseling through sheer limestone with all of the smoky and flinty nuances that come wit

Champagne Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy Empreinte Brut Nature 2014

Pinot Noir | Vallée de la Marne, Champagne

So many wines are missing the high and low notes from their repetoire. Here you get the full spectrum from perfume to earthy secondary characters! Excellent poise length and balance here. Epic tension with super fine acid and mousse. Delicacy with power. Extremely sophisticated. The build in flavour after you swallow is exceptional, a little baking spice. Strawb, Rhubarb, fine line of phenolics. Layered, complex, superb. Lively & vital with wonderful harmony. So many wines are missing the hi

Domaine Testut Chablis 1er Cru ‘Forêt’ 2019

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

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

Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Premier Cru ‘Vaillons’ 2020

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

From a huge 3.5 ha holding that is composed by <75% Vaillons proper with the remainder from Roncières, Mélinots and Châtains. Derived from old vines in Les Minots (that are a source for the Fèvre massale selection), as well as holdings in Roncières and Chatains, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons unwinds in the glass with notes of white flowers, crisp stone fruit and clear honey. Medium to fullbodied, satiny and enveloping, it’s a beautifully vibrant, racy wine that concludes wit

Barale Barbaresco ‘Serraboella’ 2020

Nebbiolo | Neive, Barbaresco

A bolder year than 2019 with thirst quenching fine acid and fresh fruit with an underlying richness. It’s the tannins here that shine. Not a lick of oak here. Epic quality long even with excellent fruit and tannin length. The flow through the range is just so impressive. Slatey with a little dark edge. Red dark cherry a little spice and orange zest. Here Barbaresco is on show with its incisive tannins with a clearly bolder version Serraboella on show. Delicious. ***Due 2nd Half August 202

Barale Barolo del Commune di Barolo 2019

Nebbiolo | Italy, Barolo

The 2018 is an impressive wine. Equally the 2019 has lovely flow, gently building a beautiful mid-weight wine of harmony and sophistication. Simply so easy to devour. A light dusting of delicate mid-palate tannin. Sour cherry, a lick of cocoa, savoury with a little salty blood. Divine. Lovely perfume, beautifully developed whilst retaining excellent energy and freshness. The fruit for this wine comes from Castellero, Preda and Coste di Rose in the Commune of Barolo. ***Due 2nd Half August

San Giusto a Rentennano Chianti Classico Riserva ‘Le Baroncole’ 2020

Red Blend | Tuscany, Chianti Classico

Le Baroncole is made from 97% Sangiovese and 3% Canaiolo grapes. The initial stages of its production are the same as Chianti Classico but it is then aged in barriques for between 16 to 20 months, bottled unfiltered and held for a further six months prior to release. The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole (a certified organic wine) shows bright fruit with summer cherry and redcurrant. It offers textural heft and weight. Its Riserva status (with extended aging) is well noted. With tim

Huet Vouvray Demi Sec ‘Le Mont’ 2022

Chenin Blanc | Vouvray, D'Anjou-Saumur

"The 2022 Le Mont Demi-Sec is less fruity and charming than, say, Clos du Bourg; its tension and line come from its flinty terroir. Despite its 21g/L residual sugar, it retains a sense of tautness without being totally linear. Radish and pear notes linger on the long finish. This is grown-up demi-sec."

Paolo Scavino Barolo 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Italy

Scavino’s 2019 Barolo is a very pretty, classically-built wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, white pepper and chalk give the 2019 an attractive upper register of brightness to match its taut, mid-weight personality. This is a rare straight Barolo that will benefit from a bit of time in bottle. Drink 2024-2031 Antonio Galloni, Vinous 90 Points The Paolo Scavino 2019 Barolo (with Enrico Scavino's signature on the front label) was a little slow to open and showed some reducti

Kientzler Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling 2021

Riesling | France, Alsace

I've been watching Kientzler over the last decade now and have seen them consistently produce excellent wines from the Lieu Dit Muhlforst and the Grand Cru vineyards of Osterberg, Geisberg and Schoenenbourg. Sherbety, superfine, exceptional intensity, long fine harmonious & seamless. Draws you in. Incredibly long & lingering, citrus, fine green apple. Shape & flow is insane. Love this.

JM Sélèque Solessence Nature (2015) NV

Brut Nature wines by default have nothing to hide behind so the fruit has to do the talking ... JM's is positively SHOUTING! Excellent purity. Singular, refined. Superb love the line and length with excellent harmony. Pithy, layered, red berries. Excellent secondary development. Although the call is that this is the standard Solessence with no dose, it clearly is not. For a start it's the base vintage is 4 years older, & it has been disgorged for almost 2 years.
