Domaine Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Estournelles Saint Jacques' 2018
Jadot have turned out a divine Estournelles from 2018. Burghound's note of it being an understated style rings true. Many 2018 from Gevrey-Chambertin are bold in nature. Here we see a delicacy that has it showing fine and elegant. Tasted blind you'd possibly look to another village. Deceptive it is, with considerable depth and length. Poise, flow and shape, with a perfume floating over delicious fruit. Jadot again showing a deft hand in crafting a sophisticated Pinot full of personality. April 2

Àlvaro Palacios 'Finca Dolfi' 2021

Àlvaro Palacios ‘Finca Dolfi’ 2021

Garnacha | Spain, Catalunya

I had the pleasure of devouring the 2016 about 18 months ago over an aged scotch fillet with a friend. A wine of presence and importance. Along with the other Priorats I've had from Àlvaro it's clear he's got it right in both the vineyard and the winery. After all, to make a wine like the legendary L'Ermita you need mad skills!Even just after landing in the country when wines are a little out of sorts from shipping across the world, the perfume builds in the glass with all the trademark

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2021
The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Mosconi is structured, linear and ultimately quite mineral in character compared to the Cannubi. Its firm underlying architecture is rendered light and fragrant thanks to aromas of blue flower, grilled herb (with both rosemary and aniseed) and pulverized stone. Fruit comes from a site in Monforte d'Alba at a cool 370 meters in elevation. I came back to this bottle 24 hours after my first tasting and remarked on the elegant, chalky nature of the ta

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos de la Bousse d'Or Amphore' 2020
This is also aromatically cool but ripe and spicy though in this case the red and dark raspberry scents are notably more floral in character. The delicious, intense and well-detailed lighter weight flavors possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts with the moderately austere and quite firm finale where a touch of sweetness gradually emerges. 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Jean Marc & Hugues Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'La Dominode' MAG 2019
Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! The 2018 was delicious the 2019 will be in my gob next week!A perfumed, ripe and cool nose features notes of red currant, black raspberry, violet and a hint of sandalwood. There is very fine mid-palate density with an abundance of sappy dry extract to the velvety and mouth coating flavors that flash good minerality on the powerful, balanced and hugely long finish. This is marvelous but it's also a buy and forget

Domaine de Montille Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Thorey' 2020
"A more elegant, cooler and spicier nose reflects notes of the pretty essence of red currant, rose petal and a floral top note. The elegance continues on the palate of the nicely textured and quite punchy flavors that exude evident minerality on the sneaky long and moderately structured finish. As is usually the case, this is a Nuits 1er of refinement and even a certain finesse." Drink 2030+ Outstanding ♥Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-93 Points

Immediate oppulence and generosity on the nose.

Oddero Barolo 'Rocche di Castiglione' 2019
Rare as Hens' teeth!
Rocche di Castiglione has to be one of my favourite Crus. The wines have incredible harmony, they are just so complete. Given Oddero's consistency through their range I'd say you're in for very safe bet here!The 2019 Barolo opens to a lean appearance with a very vibrant Nebbiolo color that shines with dark ruby highlights. There is dried cherry and candied fruit aromas on the bouquet. Those fruit layers cede to light spice, lilac and campfire ash. The beauty in With fruit from Castiglio

Luciano Sandrone Barolo 'Le Vigne' 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo (sub-region)

Bugger! The investors are onto it! An excellent Le Vigne. The restraint in oak use is clever, discrete, just a beuatiful layer. Going back to the 2013 the wood was more overt on release. Today the 2013’s are fully resolved and wonderfully layered. The 2019 is complex, refined & elegant, with vibrant fruit & faded flowerst. A delicacy with great density of fruit. Remaining refreshing.
