Domaine des Hauts Châssis Saint-Joseph '.....?' 2020
Excellent élévage yet so very tight. Graphite mineral thing. Long even tannins, fine vibrant red fruit fresh red cherry. Pure grape first Syrah with much more going on. Lovely shape.Longer finer feel compared with Villard’s Saint-Joseph that uses much more whole bunch. It’s a matter of preference and difference not necessarily quality between the two.More to come from both with a few years in bottle. Excellent Syrah!

This classically built, mid-weight Barolo is classy to the core. Like all the 2020s here, it will benefit from time in bottle or a good decant.Antoni Galloni, Vinous 93 Points ML 93

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Show the class of the vineyards and the winemakers! Excellent Barolo. The delicacy and restraint here is exceptional. The core of transparent fruit is insane. Depth, purity and such incredible clarity. A soft hand yields incredibly fine, long, even nutty tannin. Showing wonderful expression and generosity in its youth. Plenty more to come with time in bottle. Flowers, blood orange, rhubarb, red fruits. Mid-palate tannin of exceptional quality. A dark broody layer folded in. Impeccable blending.

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Olivets' 2019
“Dark Ruby. Fresh cherry, dark berries, pungent flowers and hints of musky earth and garrigue on the fragrant nose. Pliant and expansive on the palate, offering juicy red and dark berry, candied violet and baking spice flavors and a hint of mocha that adds appealing sweetness. Finishes long and gently chewy, with well-knit tannins and lingering spiciness.”Josh Raynolds, Vinous 92 Points, WS 93

Arrivo Nebbiolo 2006

Nebbiolo | South Australia, Adelaide Hills

Now in it’s 18th year of life! A fascinating comparison with the other vintages. Showing beautiful natural acidity, a finer line of tannin, with wonderful development, it is one that could still do with a few more years for the acid to find the equilibrium point and for it to uncoil. Although I suspect a fatty piece of protein would have a symbiotic relationship with this. The wine cleansing the food & the food bringing the balance.On first tasting I paired it the tuna and salmon sush

Arrivo Nebbiolo 2008

Nebbiolo | South Australia, Adelaide Hills

Now in it’s 16th year of life! The 2008 is the most structured of the trilogy. Remarkable freshness for a 2008. Seriously impressive secondary development with a superb core of sweet, yet certainly not over the top fruit. Very complete with plush long fine tannins. A fine example of beautifully matured Nebbiolo.Wonderful acid – tannin complex, mouth coating, nutty, even long. Savoury, earthy, hints of tabacco, and leather as a faint sophisticated perfume dancing over the top. Forest floo

Margherita Otto Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Margherita Otto Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Italy

2019 is the first vintage of Langhe Nebbiolo to be produced. It is made from a small part of vines registered as Nebbiolo Langhe in the Vignane MGA (in Barolo, next to Castellero) as well as some declassified fruit from the Barolo parcels. In 2019, the Nebbiolo was fermented on skins for about 10 days before being racked to preserve fruit and freshness. It went through malo in steel and was transferred to a single 1000L Mittelberger botti for aging. This is super fresh and aromatic with Baro

Domaine Joannes Violot-Guillemard Bourgogne Côte d'Or 'Maison Dieu' 2019
Maison Dieu is the name of an actual lieu-dit situated in Pommard but Violot chooses to employ the term cuvée anyway; in the period prior to 1937 this well-situated parcel was declared as Pommard rather than Bourgogne“Ripe aromas of red berries, plum and plenty of earth lead to voluminous and very rich middle weight flavors that possess a seductive texture before concluding in a clean, refreshing and only mildly rustic finale.” Burghound
