Weinbach Muscat 2021

Weinbach Muscat 2021

Muskat Ottonel | France, Alsace

“The 2021 Muscat was grown in the Clos des Capucins, the walled vineyard surrounding the house. It has a lovely lemon and elderflower scent, like a spring breeze. The palate is very fluid, almost rounded, and bone-dry, making this a charming, light-bodied aperitif style. There is the merest edge of phenolics which adds a little structure. The finish is lemony and dry.”Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous 90 Points

A.J.Adam Dhroner Hofberg Spätlese Riesling 2021

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

AP: 15 22. The 2021er Hofberg Spätlese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from fruit harvested at 86° Oechsle in the backside of the main hill of the vineyard and was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (62 g/l). It offers a beautifully aromatic and complex nose of vineyard peach, fresh pineapple, smoke, minty herbs, fine spices (ginger), and almond. The wine proves gorgeously playful on the palate where some creamy elements give gradually way to candied

Claudio Mariotto ‘Cavallina’ Derthona Timorasso 2021

Timorasso | Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

Absolutely delicious, beautiful weighting and flow, lovely acid profile & florals, refreshing just a lick of phenolics to add play to the texture. So much energy and direction. A little bit of soft green leafy herb. Spice, nicely layered lees. Harmonious. Complete. Citrus oils, lemon and much more. The fuller and richer of the two as usual.

Claudio Mariotto ‘Cavallina’ Derthona Timorasso 2020

Timorasso | Piedmont, Colli Tortonesi

The 2020 Cavallina is a fascinating iteration. Epic tension and minerality see it super tightly wound and taking time to resolve and build generosity. I initially tasted this over a year ago and saw the epic potential waiting for us. 6 months later it was only just starting to settle. It's one to be patient with. While the 2021 is a delicious drink straight out of the gate the 2020 is going to need time. It has a wonderful funk that I associate with low pH wines that have seen time on lees. All

The 2022 Goliardo A Telleira shows lots of finesse. They changed the élevage here to 1,500-litre foudre, which they think works better for Albariño than barrels, no matter how big they are, and this wine clearly shows it. It has the finesse of the sandy soils and a polished texture (a little more sleek, a bit à la Chenin) but still lively and with pungent flavors.Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate 95+ PointsMy Note on the 2021: Simply delicious. Ridiculous for the coin. Citrus oil

Drawn from three hectares on the steep slopes opposite Fourchaume, Bessin’s ‘flagship’ cuvée is blended from six parcels of the domaine’s oldest village-level vines in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne. These vines were planted between 1950 and 1974 across Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian soils of varying exposures. The grapes were pressed as bunches and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine aged for 18 months in a temperature-controlled tank, with a small amount going into neutral oak. A

Bourgogne from Meursault Vineyards! Proving once again that you have to know the fruit source of any Bourgogne level wines. Javillier's are both from vineyards in Meursault. The Cuvée de Forgets from the Volnay side and the Cuvée Oligocène from the Puligny side.

François Villard Saint-Joseph ‘Mairlant’ 2020

Shiraz/Syrah | Saint-Joseph, France

Love the perfume here very complete long layered fine, dark and red fruit with brooding and stalk. Harmonious with subtle pepper pop. Excellent élévage, fine acid. Build in structure and mid-palate grip, giving energy. Playful fun.Excellent comparision with Hauts Châssis’ Saint-Joseph made with no whole bunches.Saturated violet color. Vibrant, spice-tinged dark berry, cherry, potpourri and licorice aromas are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Fresh blackberry and bitter

Gorelli Rosso di Montalcino 2019

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

Speller is on the money, this is still closed (April 2023). Builds with time in the glass, the fruit leans toward the fine Burgundian style. The tannins are just a little edgy, as with the Brunello, as the new Botti season future vintages should see further refinement to the texture.  This clearly sits in between the Rosso & Brunello level. I like the cranberry descriptor and would add a musk and rose top note. A few years in bottle should see the tannins resolve fully and mid-palate weight

Bruno Giacosa Spumante 2019

Pinot Noir | Lombardy, Italy

Bruna Giacosa persists with her father’s interest in producing a very small batch sparkling wine in most good vintages, a Blanc de Noirs made in methode Champenois and aged on lees for between 2-3 years. Though a curio even in the storied history of Giacosa, it is a wine steeped in historical significance for the winery. An avid lover of the great house Champagnes, Giacosa sought to create his own ‘metodo classico’ that was distinctly Italian stylistically. In the early 1980s, the modern

Paul Pilot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Chardonnay | France, Burgundy

This comes mainly from a well-situated 0.6-hectare parcel of 35-year-old vines planted on a northeast-facing hillside just south of Chassagne. There is also a little Chassagne village fruit in the blend. The fruit is hand-picked, pressed and left to settle. It naturally ferments on lees for 12 months in small stainless-steel vats and older barrels. The wine is then blended and settled for a further six months in tank before bottling. This has always been a lovely drink, but today, the age of vin

Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer 2023

Clemens Busch Riesling Vom Blauen Schiefer 2023

Riesling | Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany

The 2023er Riesling vom grauen Schiefer, as it is referred to on the main part of the label, comes from blue-slate sectors in the Pündericher Marienburg. It displays a superbly complex and finely aromatic nose of lime, minty herbs, anise, tangerine, candied grapefruit, greengage, lime tree, and apple. The wine starts off on a slightly round side with fruity and light creamy elements dominating at first, before more grip and intensity comes through. The finish is nicely focused, spicy, and l
