Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Monprivato' 2019

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

This is the best Monprivato Sordo has made. So I need to go and pop the cork on a 2016 and 2015 ... just to make sure! Sordo's Monprivato has moved up the ladder a couple of rungs this year.The pedigree of this vineyard sees it sitting alongside Villero as one of the finest Barolo vineyards. At ½ the price of Giuseppe Mascarello’s this is exceptional value. An elegance yet intensity, the delicacy that is the hallmark of Monprivato when on song is here. Some would use the term Burgundian,

Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru 'Clos des Argillières' 2022
A distinctly earthy and sauvage-inflected nose is comprised mostly of a variety of red berry fruit aromas. There is very good energy to the intensely mineral-driven middle weight plus flavors that possess a relatively sleek mouthfeel on the structured, serious and moderately austere finale. This is clearly built-to-age and is going to need at least moderate patience. Excellent. Drink 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound 92 Points ♥ OutstandingThe 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argill

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Champonnet' 2016
This is also slightly reduced and it's enough to render the nose difficult to assess. The medium-bodied flavors are both more powerful and concentrated though at the expense of less refinement and minerality on the driving and impressively persistent finish. This will need to add depth to merit the upper end of my predicted range but the underlying material appears to be present so that this can eventually happen. Patience required. ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows

Domaine Confuron-Contetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' 2019

Domaine Confuron-Contetidot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Lavaut St Jacques' 2019
"A broad-ranging nose displays hints of the sauvage, forest floor and herbal tea to the mostly cool dark pinot fruit scents. The denser and much more muscular middle weight plus flavors flash an abundance of minerality on the powerful, focused and well-delineated finish. This youthfully austere effort is also very clearly built-to-age and a wine that's going to need it. Drink: 2034+ Outstanding ♥"Allen Meadows, Burghound

Luciano Sandrone Barolo 'Aleste' a.k.a 'Cannubi Boschis' 2019
Classic Cannubi! Savoury, dark & a little broody, just starting to settle. Intrigue and personality on show. Delicacy of expression on the nose. A little licorice, slate and graphite. A powerful palate. Aggression of tannins in a good way that will take time to resolve. Sour cherry and fine acid. An excellent Aleste with all the hallmarks of quality Cannubi.Aleste is a contraction of the names Alessia and Stefano, grandchildren of the late Luciano Sandrone. With fruit from Cannubi Bo

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The flowers, roses, are showing, the red fruits shining, exceptional harmony, the wine has freshened beautifully in the glass over the course of 15 hours. The earthy and savoury notes fallen into the background. Wonderfully fine, long, slatey tanin, so even, the hallmark of extend maceration grace your tongue making for an entrancing dance with devine acid. Tranparent, and, elegant, the fruit weight here is deceptive, much more depth and length than might initially be percieved. Graceful Gallina

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2016 Barbaresco Pajè is one of the highlights in this range, as it offers gorgeous mid-palate depth with super-classic structure. Dark cherry, tobacco, licorice, leather and deeply-pitched spice accents infuse the 2016 with captivating nuance. The Pajè represents a bridge to the higher-end wines in this range. All of these wines have become pricey, but the Pajè is one of the larger-production wines and consistently delivers superb quality at a more approachable price than many of the othe
