From the vineyard Frontemare, in front of the sea. The first release of the sister wine to the Frontebosco.More tightly wound at the moment everything appears to be there in all the right places it just needs a little more time to build generosity which it most certainly will.Finer acid if that's even possible. Citrus and soft green herbs again chalky and more mineral characters in the mix. A lovely transparency and fine finish without any broadness. Building more mid-palate weight in

The Maugeri 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Volpare Frontebosco (with 6,200 bottles created) comes from a vineyard adjacent to a forest with ancient stone terracing, as its name "Frontebosco" suggests. It's not just the power of suggestion, because you do pick up on hints of balsam herb or forest floor beyond white fruit and peach. The wine ages on lees for eight months (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). These techniques (or lack thereof) contribute to the wine's linear and

The most mineral-driven of these new releases from Maugeri is the 2023 Etna Bianco Superiore Contrada Praino Frontemare. This is a young winery with enormous promise ahead of it. Grapes for this 3,300-bottle release come from a vineyard site on the east side of the volcano that faces the sea and has steep stone terraces on sandy, mineral-rich soils and yellowish clay. The wine spends eight months on the fine lees (with no malolactic fermentation and no bâtonnage). The result offers salty flavor

On a spectrum of boldest to most elegant, the Rheingau sits in the middle for me, making cracking dry Rizza with plenty of tension whilst have the balance to produce superb off-dry to sweet wines."The 2019 Kiedrich Turmberg Riesling Auslese is precise and flinty on the nose that displays very fine raisin and honey aromas, spiced with notes of crushed slate. Charmingly round and elegant on the refined palate, this is a salty-piquant and stimulating Auslese with remarkable grip and finesse. A

Giovanni Sordo Barolo 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Museum release. Direct from the cellars landed end 2024.I've had the pleasure of devouring most of the 2013 Crus from Sordo, but never the Barolo Classico until now. A great summary of this vintage. This wine typically has a significant La Mora component and it shows in the pure, plush red fruits of great transparency and lick of chocolate. A wonderful perfume lifts from the glass on opening. Just shifting into a nice place, building secondary development. Layers of earthy, truffled, slatey

A discreet if easily perceptible application of wood sets off equally airy and super-fresh aromas of Granny Smith apple, lemon rind and acacia. There is once again more volume as well as better density to the powerful and sappy medium weight flavors that are shaped by bright acidity on the firm and serious but not really austere finale. Worth checking out as this is a quality Rully villages. Drink 2028+Allen Meadows, Burghound 89 Points ♥ OutstandingThe 2022 Rully Maizières comes

“The 2020 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Spätlese offers a deep, complex and refined bouquet with flinty aromas. Highly refined and elegant on the palate, this is a salty-piquant, fresh, vital and energetic Gräfenberg with a long, piquant and salty finish. Very young but really fascinating in its brilliance, piquancy and salinity”Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

Barrel Selection "AP: 15 21. The 2020er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese ** - 24 - was made from 40% botrytized fruit picked at 115° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (120 g/l). It offers a still rather backward nose made of smoky elements and only faint scents of melon, pineapple, apricot, and herbs. The wine is hugely racy and beautifully focused on the palate and leaves a mouthwatering feel of herbs, faint flavors of subtly exotic fruits, and spices in

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

Wow! Tagged as the best holding of the estate you can see why! The Albino Rocca 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi shows a dusty mineral quality that adds to the elegance of the bouquet. Beyond that, you get nicely ripened Nebbiolo fruit with wild cherry and redcurrant. It fleshes out over the palate with tart flavors and chalky tannins.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 94 PointsThe 2021 Barbaresco Ronchi comes across as a bit youthfully austere relative to some of the other wines in the range.
