Castello dei Rampolla 'd'Alceo' 2018

Red Blend from Greve UGA, Chianti Classico

Castello dei Rampolla ‘d’Alceo’ 2018

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.

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Pertuisots' 2022

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Pertuisots’ 2022

“The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Pertuisots is performing especially well this year, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries and plums mingled with rose petals, sweet spices and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's layered and complete, with a lively core of fruit and beautifully refined, powdery tannins.”William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 92-94 Points“The 2022 Beaune Pertuisots 1er Cru, which contains 27% whole bunches, has such a pretty n

“The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes is pure and ethereal, wafting from the glass with scents of raspberries, rose petals, spices, blood orange and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, ample and suave, with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish, it's a lovely rendition of this first-rate hillside terroir.”William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91-93 Points

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Ostréa 2023

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

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Ostréa 2023

This is also quite pretty and fresh with its airy aromas of both red and dark currant and iron-inflected nuances. The elegant and beautifully detailed middle weight flavors are not especially dense but I like the refinement and energy, all wrapped in a dusty, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish.Allen Meadows, Burghound 88-91 Points

Luciano Sandrone Barolo 'Le Vigne' 2019

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Luciano Sandrone Barolo ‘Le Vigne’ 2019

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. The heart shape of Novello, the faded flowers of Villero the combination of tannin profiles making f

Paolo Scavino Barolo 'Bric dël Fiasc' 2021

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Paolo Scavino Barolo ‘Bric dël Fiasc’ 2021

The 2021 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Red toned-fruit, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and exotic citrus notes soar out of the glass. Beams of tannin lend the energy and drive that are such classic signatures of this Castiglione Falletto site.

Oddero Barolo 'Villero' 2021

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Oddero Barolo ‘Villero’ 2021

One of my favourite Crus.Take the Barolo add 3 more layers for aroma, flavour and tannin. Ramp up the sophistication of the mouthfeel and you're kinda close to where the Villero sits. Awesome side by side with Sordo's Villero. Different in style. Both fantastic wines, you can see the common thread through the two.Compared to the others, the Oddero 2021 Barolo Villero embraces a wider span of aromas that are more horizontal in approach, with dark fruit, licorice and spice.

Domaine Antoine Jobard Pommard 2023

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Antoine Jobard Pommard 2023

This is also really quite aromatically pretty with its blend of red currant, cherry and slightly more prominent earth influence. On the palate there is again fine volume to the attractively textured flavors that display solid depth and length on the balanced finale where a touch of bitter chocolate character slowly emerges.Allen Meadows, Burghound 88 PointsNote: from a blend of La Rue au Port, Les Combes and Petits Noizons where the latter comprises about 75% of the blend

Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2023

A ripe yet agreeably fresh nose freely reveals its aromas of mostly red berries and discreet spice elements. The sleek, delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in a dusty bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that exhibits solid length if only average depth. As such, at least a few years of keeping are recommended.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89 PointsNote: from a 1.3 ha holding

Giuseppe Quintarelli 'Ca del Merlo' 2018

Red Blend

Giuseppe Quintarelli ‘Ca del Merlo’ 2018

The 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Cal del Merlo wafts up with an incredibly pretty, savory bouquet of dried Mediterranean herbs, geranium and citrus-tinged wild strawberries. It displays depths of ripe red and blue fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as rosy inner florals arch across the palate, all over a core of tantalizing acidity. The finish is floral and long, leaving a tart sensation of raspberry as hints of lavender fade slowly. This is a supremely elegant and refined vinta

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er 'Les Rugiens' 2016

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Rugiens’ 2016

There are 2 vineyards that are talked of when the best of Pommard is discussed. Les Épenots and Les Rugiens. It’s clear tasting Thierry's interpretations of these vineyards that there is merit in those discussion.The 2016 Les Rugien is exceptional. Darker, tighter and more structured than the Epenots while there is an extra edge to the tannins they are of very high quality. The oak is handled well again with just a fine sweep across nose and palate, nothing overt or distracting from a won
