Domaine Jean Marc & Hugues Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'La Dominode' HALF 2019
Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! The 2019 is on the edge of the next phase of life, still incredibly youthful, a hint of secondary character is sneaking through. As seems always to be the case with Pavelot's top 1er Cru 'La Dominode' it hold a wonderful balance between ripeness, energy and vitality, subtle well handled oak balancing the sunshine the village of Savigny typically offers. Opulent and plush, mulberries play with a fine line of spice. A clea

Pinot Noir | Victoria, Australia

Brooding with Sour Cherry and Dark Fruit. Kinda the child to Block 1 and Block 2 It's got some edgy tannin and extraction on one hand from the Pommard clone of Pinot. On the other it's got concentration and oppulence from the MV6 clone. Really want to see this wine in another 12-24 months.

Bruno Giacosa Barbera d’Alba Casa Vinicola 2022
One of Italy’s great value red wines, the Barbera d’Alba ‘Casa Vinicola’ is an expression of Barbera fruit sourced from around the Barolo and Barbaresco sub-regions. This is one of the longest standing labels in Giacosa’s stable having first been produced in 1969, just after the first Barolos and Barbarescos of the mid-60’s. These days it is a refreshing red that shows the ripe red berries of great Barberas from Alba, alongside notably sinewy tannins and a good mineral core.

Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du Py ‘Javernieres’ 2018
I thought Bouland, Thivin & Foillard were good! Judging by the not so 'standard' Côte du Py and the 'James' from 2018, this will be stunning.The cuvée Javernières is produced from a 0.5 hectares parcel with clay soils, it will charm you with its elegance, finesse. It makes for a fascinating comparison with the James, a blend of several of the domain greatest terroirs, that develops serious complexity with age.

Guímaro’s wines draw you in. At this level, they move well beyond and above the playful, juby, joven styles. Complex, savoury, layered with sophisticated tannins all of Guímaro's top wines show a deft hand in élévage to elicit the personality of the fruit from which they are made.There's a build in weight and richness here over the Miño river sibling to this wine.The San Pedro has a beautiful acid balance.

Sourced from vineyards immediately next to the Gevrey-Champertin AOCUltra-fresh aromas of red pinot fruit, spice and more discreet earth nuances lead to equally delicious and more finely textured middleweight flavors that possess notably better volume on the better balanced and sneaky long finish. This is quite good for what it is and worth checking out.Allen Meadows, Burghound 87 PointsThe 2022 Bourgogne Rouge delivers notes of cherries, plums, smoke and loamy soil, fol

Cascina Penna-Currado Barbera d'Alba 'Currà' 2023
Tasted from cask, the 2023 Barbera d'Alba Carrà is hugely promising. It's one of my favorite wines in this range so far. Deep and explosive, the 2023 offers a captivating mix of dark fruit, along with a host of complicating floral, savory and mineral overtones. It's a very serious wine in the making. That's not terribly surprising, given how captivating the Barberas were at Vietti during the Currados tenure.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 90-93 PointsNote on the 2022: The love of Barbera s

Sandro Fay Valtellina Superiore Sassella 'Il Glicine' 2021
The first time we've had Sandro Fay's wine from the Sassella sub-zone of Valtellina and it's a ripper. A step up from the Valgella appropriately reflected in the price difference. Longer and with more mid-palate depth it shows excellent flow and shape. The pure, fine acid and long sophisticated tannins make for an equally refreshing drop. Darker sour cherry fruit laced with slate, spice and lick of that alpine thing doing on. Great transparency. Loads of joy to be had with this pleasure festa!

Cantine Garrone Prünent 2018

Red Blend | Valli Ossolane, Alto Piemonte

Neb from the FAR NORTH ... Stylistically think the more ethereal communes of Valtellina! Brooding and darker than the Ca d’Mate with a build in structure. A little Austere, yet you can see there is much to come with time in bottle. Openning in the glass to reveal woody herbs, fresh sour cherry and complexities beyond.Such a different balance point to Barolo & Barbaresco. 13.5% sees vibrant fruit with layered dusty ripe tannins, whereas Barolo and Barbaresco need 14.5% for the same.
