Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Champonnet’ 2016

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, France

This is also slightly reduced and it's enough to render the nose difficult to assess. The medium-bodied flavors are both more powerful and concentrated though at the expense of less refinement and minerality on the driving and impressively persistent finish. This will need to add depth to merit the upper end of my predicted range but the underlying material appears to be present so that this can eventually happen. Patience required. ♥ Outstanding Allen Meadows

Vajra Barolo ‘Bricco delle Viole’ 2009

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2012 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is pure class. A decidedly sensual, inviting Bricco delle Viole, the 2012 fleshes out in the glass with an effortless, inviting personality that is impossible to resist. Deep red cherry and plum notes open up first, followed by the classic floral notes that are so typical of this site. In 2012, the Bricco delle Viole is quite forward and fruit-driven, with essentially none of the angular contours that are typical when the wine is young. All of that means the 20

Domaine SC Guillard Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Poissenot’ 2021

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. Deepest color of the 21’s and the most complex and pure on the nose, red fruit compote, cherry liquor and florals abound, complex super pure and transparent. The most complex of the 3 1er cru’s. Delicious palate intense sappy energetic, will live a very long life. It’s expansive but coiled and opens beautifully in the glass and gets longer and more intense as it breaths.

Weingut Nikolaihof Ried Steiner Hund Riesling 2017

Riesling | Niederösterreich, Austria

Under a thin layer of humus, the vine roots dig deep in the hard, primary rock and bring forth extremely balanced wines with pronounced mineral character and refined elegance. Another stunning Steiner Hund dry riesling from Nikolaihof! Deep and complex nose with a ton of flint, but also crushed-rock, quince and pomelo aromas. For the very warm vintage this is astonishingly cool and restrained, with beautiful wet-stone minerality intertwined with the elegant acidity. Very long, silky f

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo ‘Gramolere’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

'The 2019 Barolo Gramolere (with 7,000 bottles made) shows a slightly sweeter and riper fruit profile. This wine comes from the village of Monforte d'Alba, which is known for more structured and powerful wines compared to Verduno (where this winery is based), which offers lighter, more floral wines instead. Gramolere shows dark fruit, plum and spice, but it also has a pretty mineral note of rust or iron. However, within this portfolio, this wine may well deliver the longest drinking window.' Dri

Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Auslese #11 2019

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

Initially reductive notes of smoke and aniseed herbs, then pear, honeyed yellow peach, spices, fresh herbs, violet and bergamot join the party. Develops gorgeous playful sweetness on the light-footed and delicately zesty palate, and leaves gorgeously direct flavours of fruit basket and candied grapefruit in the finish. This joyful and fruit-driven auslese will be irresistible at maturity. Mosel Fine Wines

Cogno Barolo ‘Ravera’ 2017

Nebbiolo | Novello, Italy

"These vineyards represent the classic side of our production. They make elegant, smooth, and fresh wines with a fine aroma." Valter Fissore "The 2017 Barolo Ravera is a beautiful, precise wine. Bright acids and veins of tannin give the 2017 terrific energy that carries all the way through to the finish. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, chalk, white pepper and spice all open with a bit of coaxing. This is very nicely done." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin ‘Regnard’ 2019

"Offering up notes of plums, orange rind, spices and grilled meats, the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Regnard (négoce) is medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with lively acids and a bright, enveloping core of fruit. This has turned out very nicely." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Artuke ‘La Condenada’ Rioja 2021

Red Blend | Spain, Alavesa

Trying ‘La Conenada’s’ brother 'El Escolladero' along with a few other wines from the Artuke range was enough to convince me to grab a couple of boxes. Well it's arrived, and I can see why it is one of the Artuke's two crown jewels! The palate has exceptional shape and flow, yes it is precise! The acid ~ tannin ~ fruit ~ alcohol complex sits in perfect harmony. As with the El Escolladero there is just a little edge of grip to the mouthfeel, again in a cleansing positive way. Opening

Massolino “Parussi” Barolo 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Castiglione Falletto

Massolino’s Castiglione Falletto Parussi tannins take longer to resolve than Parafada. Bordering both core soil types. Quite dense and layered. Bright red fruit with darker macerative pops. Fresh acid long. Will resolve beautifully in time.

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Bolder darker brooding short time on skins as per Margheria. Lovely length depth even powerful long fine tannins. Very sophisticated even with it’s richness. Wonderful. Kept freshness and elegance. Excellent elegance. Definitely resolved and openned from Galloni's comments much earlier in its life.

Massolino “Margheria” Barolo 2017

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

"The 2017 Barolo Margheria is a compelling, multi-faceted Barolo loaded with personality. Sage, mint, lavender, spice, iron and red/purplish berry fruit grace this firm, classically built Barolo. This translucent, taut Barolo has so much to offer, but it also needs time to soften. Readers will find a terrific example of Margheria." Antonio Galloni

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Villero’ 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

I haven't tried the 2013. If the 2015 is anything to go by this will be stunning! The most ‘Burgundian’ of these 8 cru, shimmering and transparent, signalling the elegance and finesse to unfold. A beautiful and intriguing wine with those Castiglione complexities of cranberry, strawberry, cherry-skin, dried flowers and herbs. Tannins are beautifully bound with the acid line, the finish becomes seamless and tingling. Worthy of the Villero name. Vietti's is now $900 a bottle! Dense garnet colo

Albino Rocca ‘Angelo’ Barbaresco 2017

Nebbiolo | Barbaresco, Italy

In hommage to Angelo this goes back to his father’s days when blending was the norm. A truly beautiful blend. The gentle fruit handling and longer maceration or lunga macerazione (55 days here) has yielded a lovely perfume, a savoury core of fruit with delicacy and persistence. The tannins are wonderful. There’s a little truffle, a little liquorice, a little of lots of things coming to play. This is a wine worthy of being a hommage! Each parcel is picked separately, 3-4 days apart, and added
