Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Evocelles' 2020

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Evocelles’ 2020

'Reduction masks everything but subtle floral nuances. More interesting are the notably finer and more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess both a lovely texture and underlying tension while delivering fine length on the youthfully austere finale. This too is an excellent Gevrey villages that is firm enough to reward a decade of keeping.' Drink 2030+ Outstanding ♥Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-92 Points

Domaine Bernard Moreau Volnay 1er Cru 'Les Santenots' 2020

Pinot Noir from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Bernard Moreau Volnay 1er Cru ‘Les Santenots’ 2020

This is aromatically similar to the La Cardeuse but spicier. The palate impression of the middle weight flavors is also rich to the point of opulence before terminating in sappy, long and better-balanced finish though there is still a hint of backend warmth.Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Louis Boillot Volnay 1er Cru 'les Brouillards' 2019

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Louis Boillot Volnay 1er Cru ‘les Brouillards’ 2019

“The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards has turned out especially well. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries and plums mingled with sweet soil tones, hints of raw cocoa and rose petals, it's  medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, with terrific concentration and beautifully refined tannins. Boillot observes, and I agree, that this site's tannins have become much more refined over the last five years.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93 Points JM 91-93

“The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Angles is sensual and charming, bursting from the glass with aromas of plums, raw cocoa, sweet spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's lively and textural, with a broad attack and a long, expansive finish.” William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 92 Points  JM 90-93

Luigi Baudana Barolo 'Baudana' 2016

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Luigi Baudana Barolo ‘Baudana’ 2016

Nebbiolo, Barolo, Serralunga, Baudana, 2013 = Enough Said! The 2016 Barolo Baudana is laced with sweet red cherry, floral overtones and silky tannins, all of which make it one of the more refined, sensual Serralunga Barolos readers will come across. In this tasting, the Baudana impresses with its haunting aromatics and transparent expression of Nebbiolo. Like all of these wines, it needs time in bottle but it is super impressive, even in the early going.Galloni

San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo IGT 2019

Sangiovese from Gaiole UGA, Chianti Classico

San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo IGT 2019

One of the most celebrated expressions of Sangiovese on the market today is the San Giusto a Rentennano 2019 Percarlo. This organic wine has a hint of extra ripeness or richness that transcends the bouquet. You feel as if you can bite into the fruit, and indeed the 2019 vintage is recognized by its unique power and density (with a 15% alcohol content). It's a lot to take in, and there is enough lasting fiber and fruit power to fuel a long drinking window. This is one of the bigger and more opule

Thrilled to be able to offer my thoughts on this special wine. Lunch with the full current release set from La Rioja Alta was thrilling. The wines are a demonstration of respect for the past and judicious use of modern technology combined with an approach that offer a style reminiscent of a refreshed classic.

Domaine de Montille Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Greves' 2022

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de Montille Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Greves’ 2022

This is aromatically more complex but also more reserved with its nose of warm earth, poached plum, violet and softly sauvage nuances. There is good power and punch, if only average density, to the muscular and lightly stony medium weight flavors that display excellent length on the more youthfully austere finale. Excellent development potential here. (from a 1.26 ha holding; 50% whole clusters) 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Points

This one’s an argument for blending sites! The Barolo Via Nuova is an organic blend of fruit from six MGA sites: Terlo and Liste (in Barolo), Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (in Monforte d’Alba) and Gabutti and Baudana (in Serralunga d’Alba).This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites, and 15,000 bottles were created. Showing a classical profile, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Via Nuova delivers a firm sense of inner fiber and richness with dark bluebe

La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva 2016

Red Blend from Alta, La Rioja

La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva 2016

Powerful yet complete and fresh, beautifully developed, just shifting into the second phase. A very thoughtful élévage, structural tannins hitting front mid palate (from oak), still fine long. A lift of VA that blows off quickly. Lovely set of flavours. Oppulence. Rich, full, and round with immediate generosity. A case of celebrating the differences with the 2015 iteration.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded May 2026I tased again the stellar 2016 Gran Reserva 904, which is nothing short of bei
