E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' 2021

Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

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 Tollot-Beaut Grand Cru 'Corton-Bressandes' 2018

Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Tollot-Beaut Grand Cru ‘Corton-Bressandes’ 2018

"A brooding nose only reluctantly reveals its extremely fresh notes of plum, cassis, violets and pungent earth. There is a bit more volume to the powerful, concentrated and serious big-bodied flavors that evidence a lovely minerality on the mouth coating, firmly structured and strikingly long and beautifully well-balanced finish. This bad boy of a Bressandes is a knockout but one that is clearly going to require extended cellaring to soften what are presently resolute tannins." Drink: 2035+ Don'

‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. ‘Poissenot’ is situated above Lavaux St Jacques on the northern ridge of Gevrey. The Poissenot is deeply colored, the nose is deep and alluring with black fruits, spice and a lick of new wood. The palate is loaded with fine grained and deeply structured tannins that coat the entire palate. Dripping with class this wine will reward long cellaring. Drink 2030-2050Tom Carson

Cogno Barolo 'Bricco Pernice' 2016

Nebbiolo from Novello, Barolo

Cogno Barolo ‘Bricco Pernice’ 2016

"The 2016 Barolo Bricco Pernice is absolutely gorgeous. The pedigree of the year comes through in the wine's depth and stature. What a knockout. Ripe black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice, orange peel and rose petal are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop as the 2016 opens in the glass. Readers should be in no rush here. The 2017 is absolutely stellar."Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva 'Vignolo' 2015
Power + Elegance

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva ‘Vignolo’ 2015

Cavallotto's Riserva 'Vignolo' is such a delicious wine, poised, fragrant, such incredible layers of flavour & the rare seamless harmony only the greats seem to manage. Cavallotto are making beautiful wines of great presence, harmony and detail. The Riserva Vignolo is always a little bolder than the Riserva Vigna San Guiseppe. They both have that hallmark Castiglione tannin layered, supple and of line and length. “The 2015 Barolo Riserva Vignolo is a powerful, tightly wound wine that is going

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Épenots’ 2018

Attractively layered aromas are comprised by wisps of cherry, red raspberry, spice and more prominent earth nuances. There is outstanding volume to the caressing middle weight flavors that also possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while delivering excellent persistence on the balanced finale. This too needs to add depth with time in bottle, but the material is here for that to occur. Fine potential here as well. ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding Drink 2030+Burghound, 93 PointsAnne P

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er ‘Les Rugiens’ 2018

As expected this is delicious, and that little bit more giving over the 2016. I’d go so far as to say it’s drinking well now, again like all of the wines of the estate I’ve tried, a little extra time will be its friend. While I say it is drinking well now, I mean as a young Burgundy, the metamorphisis that occurs with great Burgundy always requires time. It’ll be smack bang in the drinking window well before the 2016. This is a case of celebrating the difference not necessarily choosing

Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘Les Pruliers’ 2020

It hard to talk about Nuits-Saint-Georges without talking about Henri Gouges. For near a century the Domaine has quietly been working away to expand their holding and continually improve their wines."A more deeply pitched and brooding nose only grudgingly reveals its aromas of cassis plum liqueur and pungent earth where the latter is also found on the vibrant and well-detailed big-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence. This is not as dense as the bes

Oddero Barolo 'Villero' 2019

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Oddero Barolo ‘Villero’ 2019

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.With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the 2019 Barolo Villero is graceful and light with a beautifully silky approach to the palate. It is pleasing to the eye, thanks to the

Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de l’Arlot Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘1er Cru Mont des Oiseaux’ 2023

“The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Mont des Oiseaux ler Cru, matured in 35% new oak, has an elegant, quite mineral-driven bouquet that is vivacious and charming (like the 2022). The palate is silky smooth on the entry, very well balanced and unerringly pure, with a light yet energetic finish that has just the right amount of piquancy. This is an underrated cuvée from the Domaine that should not be overlooked.”Neal Martin, Vinous 91-93 Points

Domenico Clerico Barolo 'Pajana' 2021

Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

Domenico Clerico Barolo ‘Pajana’ 2021

More linear, more tightly coiled than the rest of the 2021 Barolos at this early stage.  Again, elegance, delicacy and transparency. Long even tannin. Slatey, a darkness playing here with tar and roses. Blood and leather, stone. An excellent core of fruit. A bolder Monforte. This is the one to wait for. It needs 10 years in the bottle.  I see the Clerico Barolo 'Pajan' resolving and building into a complete, special wine. It has great density, depth and length combined with a vital freshness.
