The Playful!

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Ravera’ 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Ravera = generosity with crunchy fruit and playful front mid-palate tannin, that Sordo élévage, so much fun! ‘Ravishing red’ as usual, a wave of roses and red cherry. Quite lush, but holds its shape as all that red rolls to the pinpoint, tingling finish. It’s no wonder Ravera has risen so much in people’s estimation over recent years. Serious Barolo of a distinct style. Big and dense in colour, and all other respects. Big and chewy in mouth, yet fine line and varietal shape, with rich

Sottimano Barbaresco ‘Basarin’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Neive, Italy

Pair this up with the Currá and have a little Neb-Festa! Having two wines side by side from adjacent vineyards is always fun. Inevitably it's a demonstration in just how much varriation there is between vineyards with very short distances between them. They house style is evident. Basarin has a more elegant feel to it over the richer Currá, though it is still has a bit of weight to it. Normally, I am not an advocate of new oak in Barolo or Barbaresco. Here there is just a lick here from 10% ne

Domaine de Montille Saint Aubin 1er Cru ‘En Remilly’ 2020

Chardonnay | Saint-Aubin, Burgundy

"There is a vague hint of the exotic suffusing the aromas of essence of pear, passion fruit and citrus confit. There is again a really lovely texture to the vibrant middle weight flavors that exude much more obvious mineral nuances on the bone-dry, slightly austere and lingering finale."

Bilancia ‘la collina’ Syrah 2020

Shiraz/Syrah | New Zealand, Hawke's Bay

Bilancia's 'La Collina' is New Zealand's Syrah equivalent TeMata's 'Coleraine' Bordeaux blend. The only challenge, they make a minuscule volume. Australia might see 10 dozen for the country! Tasting the 2020 with Warren and Lorraine last year was inspiring. A little lift that blows off. Interesting fresh energy, redder fruit. Even long detailed fine tannins, with a playful edge. The length and depth. Poise balance perfume, underlying savoury edge. Excellent balance. This will be stunning i

Roagna Timorasso Derthona Montemarzino 2017

Timorasso | Colli Tortonesi, Italy

A grape variety saved by saved by Massa & on the rise! With Vietti and Roagna adding their names to the few making Timorasso, it's clear something special is happening in Derthona (the old name for Tortona). I've tried the Massa's entry level version and loved its flavours and textures. Can't wait to try Roagna's version.

Barale Barolo ‘Castellero’ 2018

Nebbiolo | Barolo, Italy

A Divine Expression! This builds nicely in the glass, as a young wine, and has a presence and length about it. A full mid-palate carries through with excellent persistence. The energy of 2018 is present with fine acid and a complex set of intriguing flavours, a background resinous note over savoury, truffled fruit that has been beautifully developed draws you in. There’s some clever thinking in the making here.

Barale Barolo ‘Bussia’ 2018

Nebbiolo | Bussia, Italy

Oh so pretty! This is very well played. Bussia is right in the north of Monforte, which as a whole was very poorly defined during the MGA classification. It tends to produce wines of more elegance than many of the Crus further south in Monforte. Barale’s 2018s have been beautifully composed. The Bussia tannins are fine and restrained. The development and oxidative handling demands quality fruit and it has that with a solid core of red fruits layered in with savoury, earthy notes. I’m enjoyin

Superb! Bravi Francesco!🍷

Francesco Versio Barbaresco 2019

Nebbiolo | Neive, Barbaresco

The 'Side Project' of ex-Bruno Giacosa's winemaker Francesco Versio this is a stunner! The Francesco Versio 2019 Barbaresco is delicate and fine, almost fragile, with iris root, rusty nail, cassis and licorice root. The wine is carefully balanced to show the intensity of the grape, yet its aromatic profile is carefully measured and contained overall. This is an exciting wine with impeccable winemaking.

Swinney Farvie Syrah 2021

Shiraz/Syrah | West Australia, Australia

Grape first as with all the Swinney wines, there is beauty here. The cooler year offering more energy compared to its 2020 predecessor. Incredibly complex fruit, beautifully framed with fine layered tannins. The harmony, development and elegance for a wine of such youth is impressive making for a delicious drink now. Looking at the 2018 in a mini-vertical of all Favrie releases the evolution over a few years offered up intriguing secondary development. “The 2021 Farvie Syrah is lighte

A Masterpiece!

Figli Luigi Oddero Barolo 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

A blend of fruit from 30% the plush La Morra Rive, 30% the flowing tannins of Castiglione Falletto’s Scarrone, & 40% structural acid-driven Serralunga vineayrds of Baudana & Broglio. Wonderfully fine tannins and core of fruit. A beautiful core of fruit, long fine excellent transparency. Delicate and beautiful. Earthy, truffled, an underlayer of perfume. Tasting the 2020 Langhes, 2019 Barbaresco Rombone, 2019 Barolo and the singular 2019 Rocche Rivera there is a thread of sophistica

Swinney Farvie Syrah 2022

Shiraz/Syrah | West Australia, Australia

As with all the Swinney & Farvie wines this is grape first. There's a thing about good reds, they have an acid-tannin complex that works were the total is greater than the sum of the parts. That applies to the 2022 Farvie Syrah. The hallmark playful grip is here. Again wonderfully perfumed with a little dusting of delicate pepper, earthy and savoury with that ferous, blood lip character. Layers of tannin wrap a core of fruit in harmony. Delicious!

Swinney Farvie Mourvèdre 2022

Mourvèrdre | West Australia, Australia

Outstanding perfume, violets and chocolates layered into earthy, almost truffled grape skins and blue fruits with a lick of darker Asian spices. Intoxicating and pure it just draws you in. One of those wines you can just sit and smell for ages. Layered tannins of this quality are a thing of beauty. Their playful grip is at just that right level to enliven and cleanse the palate. A triumph! Mouvèdre is more often seen as a blending component offering a superb perfume of violets and flowers, s

Freshness, delicacy and transparency all the way. Perfumed and floral with fine tannins incorporating a layer of stalk tannin. Tea and fresh blood orange on a core of vibrant blue fruits, with a savoury element, a little quality reduction. An exceptional example of grape first Grenache. A tiny splash of just 4% Mourvèdre in the mix here. Halliday 96 points Jukes 19+ Jordam 98

Conterno Giacomo Sensory Glass

The Ultimate Glass for the Neb-Head! Sensory was conceived in July, 2017, after a discussion between the Winery Conterno Giacomo and Zwiesel Kristallglas. Conterno wanted to create a wine glass that fully enhances the characteristics of great wines. In the designing stage they focused on a shape that involves all the senses; thus the name Sensory was born. The glass expresses sensuality to the eye; it is perfectly balanced in the hand as well as producing a clear and lasting sound. The large b
