Cascina Penna-Currado Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC Superiore 'San Sebastiano' 2023
The 2023 Nebbiolo d'Alba San Sebastiano hails from older vines at Bricco Lago and saw the longer aging required by the appellation. From cask, it is a gorgeous and romising wine. Dark varietal fruit, graphite, lavender, sage and spice soar from the glass. Bright acids and veins of tannin shape this vibrant, wonderfully salivating Nebbiolo I can't wait to taste it from bottle.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 90-93 Points

Gorelli Rosso di Montalcino 2019

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

Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2019

Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2019

Pinot Noir | Yarra Valley, Australia

"The 2019 Pinot Noir combines the kind of ripeness and generosity, delicacy and finesse that characterise great Pinot Noir. Initially reserved, the nose offers notes of sun-kissed strawberry, blood plum and rose petal, together with exotic hints of musk and nutmeg. The palate has a supple richness, with a depth of flavour built on both the character of the vintage and the age of the vines. Juicy strawberry fruit, plum and rhubarb flavours are underpinned by an almost luxuriant structure that’s

Shiraz is the Yarra Valley's best kept secret - make sure to get in on it! "Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%. The 2019 Shiraz demonstrates again that our part of the Yarra can produce wonderfully spicy, elegant and age-worthy Shiraz. An energetic array of blueberry, white pepper, and bay leaf aromas leap from the glass, followed by Moroccan spice notes, liquorice and dark cherry. The palate has brightness and energy as well as a beguiling subtle, savoury depth. The fruit rides on the back of a powerful y

Louis Boillot-Barthod Moulin-à-Vent ‘Plantier de Favre’ 2019
“The most powerful wine in the range is the 2019 Moulin-à-Vent Le Plantier de Favre, a rich and ripe cuvée that wafts from the glass with notes of cherries, rose petals and blackberries, framed by a subtle patina from its élevage in used oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an ample mid-palate and succulent acids, it's fleshy and enveloping, concluding with an expansive finish.” William Kelly, The Wine Advocate
