E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2019

Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo ‘Mosconi’ 2019

The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most potent of the three Barolos in the range. It exudes Monforte darkness and virile intensity from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spice infuse the 2019 with tons of character. This is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Mosconi, a site that does not naturally lend itself to finesse.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 98 Points

Domaine Alex Moreau Pommard 1er Cru 'Les Fremiers' 2022

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Alex Moreau Pommard 1er Cru ‘Les Fremiers’ 2022

This possesses the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its pretty liqueur-like aromas of various red berries, soft earth and a hint of crushed anise. There is excellent volume to the caressing and seductively textured flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere, firm and compact finale. Like the Caillerets, this needs more depth so at least some patience is in order.Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-92 Points

Giovanni Rosso Ester Canale Rosso Barolo Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giovanni Rosso Ester Canale Rosso Barolo Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

This is the replanted portion of Vigna Rionda, stil too young to be worthy of the Barolo classification. The 2019 was awarded 98 Points by the Wine Doctor.Crafted by Davide Rosso and Andrea Delpiano from their Serralunga d’Alba estate vineyards. The purity of expression of nebbiolo is breathtaking, and while many of us will find it challenging to wait, these are wines of considerable ageing potential.

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos de la Bousse d'Or' 2022

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Volnay 1er Cru ‘Clos de la Bousse d’Or’ 2022

A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound  (91-94) Point

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 2018

Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 2018

A whiff of reduction is just enough to shave the top notes from the otherwise attractive and ripe aromas of black cherry, spice and raspberry. The sleek, rich and vibrant flavors possess very good volume, indeed they are attractively succulent, all wrapped in a raspy and compact finish where a hint of wood arises.Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-90 Points The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is showing beautifully, offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries and blood orange mingled with r

Castello dei Rampolla 'd'Alceo' 2016

Red Blend from Greve UGA, Chianti Classico

Castello dei Rampolla ‘d’Alceo’ 2016

From high density plantings of Cabernet and Petit Verdot. This show how good Bordeaux blends can be in Italy and just how different they are from their French counterparts! Jumping from 4,000 vines a hectare to 8-10,000. Grown as bush vines. Immediate oppulence and generosity on the nose. The structural element from the tannin are very different from the tannins of Bordeaux, edgy again in a good way.  Such complexity with a layer of macerative characters and the perfume they can offer.

Giovanni Rosso Barolo 'Cerretta' 2016

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giovanni Rosso Barolo ‘Cerretta’ 2016

Owned by the Rosso family since 1920, the plot was partly replanted in 1984 and 2000. Situated about 2 miles (3km) to the north of Serralunga village, Cerretta lies close to the hamlet of Baudana and envelops that of Cerretta.The fruit for this Cru wine comes from the best parcel which is shaped like an amphitheatre facing south-east. This part of the vineyard provides a particularly good micro-climate for Nebbiolo since it is protected from stronger winds by the copse at the bottom of the s

Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2018

Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto

Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2018

The 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore pulls the taster close to the glass with a darkly alluring blend of dried roses, violets, crushed stone, clove and blood orange. It washes across the palate with silken textures, lifted and finessed in the style of the vintage, as ripe wildberry fruits swirl beneath an air of sweet lavender. The word ethereal comes to mind as the 2018 tapers off with sweet tannins that provide a lovely framework to perfumed inner florals and hints of blackberry that reson

Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2019

Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto

Giuseppe Quintarelli Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2019

Over the last few releases we've seen a continual evolution with a little more freshness and tension across the range. The Valpolicella Classico Superiore is the first of the traditional Veneto red blends from Quintarelli and a great introduction to them.The fruit is fully ripe and perfectly balanced by the acidity. It’s fresher and more taut than previous vintages. The 2016s had more tannin, while the 2019 carries tannin, elegance and real power. By comparison with the Ca del Merlo, the V

Giuseppe Quintarelli 'Ca del Merlo' 2019

Red Blend

Giuseppe Quintarelli ‘Ca del Merlo’ 2019

Quintarelli masters blending local, non-local Italian & French varietals. Where most make clunky, awkward wines lacking harmony with this approach, Quintarelli achieves flow, complexity and deftly balances fruit flavours and florals with earthy, woody herb notes. (Read Patrick Suskinds "Perfume" and the importance of this will make sense). Over the last few releases we've seen a continual evolution with a little more freshness and tension across the range.The 2019s simply have more power

Domaine Louis Jadot Corton-Grèves Grand Cru 2019

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Louis Jadot Corton-Grèves Grand Cru 2019

"Abundant menthol and wood nuances are present on the ripe aromas of black raspberry and sauvage scents. The dense, plush and less powerful flavors also exude evident minerality on the austere, focused and balanced finish that isn't quite as complex. Note that this classic Corton is also quite compact and in need of extended cellaring."Allen Meadows, Burghound

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

Maison Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Cazetiers’ 2019

"Here too the wood treatment is no longer subtle though it stops short of dominating the pungently earthy humus-inflected mix of red and dark wild berries. There is outstanding volume to the delicious and plump but powerful large-scaled flavors that terminate in a mouthcoating, balanced and built-to-age finale. This possesses excellent development potential though it's not so structured that it couldn't be approached after 7 to 10 years even though it should easily reward 15+."Allen Meadows,
