There’s 1,000’s of red grape varieties grown around the world making a diverse range of wines.

Exploring the red wine world will take you from lighter more elegant wines to brash, bold wines.

There are infinite combinations of different colours, aromas, flavours, and, textures making for a lifelong pleasure fest for your senses.

A dozen varieties make up the majority of the red wines produced. Think Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and, Merlot.

Are travels to Italy, Spain, and, France have seen more Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Nerello Mascelese, Grenache, Carignan, and, Tempranillo red wines being poured into our glasses.

The wine world is producing better wines than ever before. In regions where laws permit broad experimentation with growing and making red wines is resulting in rapid evolution and refinement of styles.

In countries like Australia, cooler climate reds are really making a name for themselves.

Gobally, there’s been a welcome shift away for cumbersome, overripe, high alcohol, oaky wines, to red wines made with more restraint and freshness.

Domaine Louis Boillot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Champonnet' 2016

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

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

Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits

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

"An exuberantly spicy and manifestly ripe nose of poached plum, exotic tea and floral nuances gives way to suave, round, dense and seductively textured large-scaled flavors that are dusty, mouth coating and powerful though the finish is again noticeably warm. Drink: 2034+"Allen Meadows, Burghound

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

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

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

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

Joseph Faiveley Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' 2019

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

Joseph Faiveley Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Charmes’ 2019

I had Faiveley's 2015 Latricières Chambertin recently, delicious, perfumed elegant and refined. Along with the 2015, I devoured a brace of 2016's from across the appellations. They are really stepping up their game, the investments in the vineyard and winery are a testament to this.

Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2016

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2016

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

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

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Roagna Barolo Pira 2016

On openning the Pira was all beefstock, savoury with a hint of reduction. Revisited with 15 hours in the glass. There you have it DJ Luca has been at it again. The fruit has come to the fore. The faded flowers so common with great wines from Castiglione Falleto are shining along with red fruit, orange and a hint of baking spice. It’s the shape, focus, mouthfeel and exceptional interplay between fruit of depth and length weighted beautifully against long even tannin matched to vibrant acid that

Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Chambolle-Musigny 'Les Fouchères' 2019

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

Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair Chambolle-Musigny ‘Les Fouchères’ 2019

It is next to the Premier Cru "les Borniques" to the east and to the south, about fifty meters from the Grand Cru "le Musigny". Situated on reddish brown clays rich in iron oxides on about 30 cm then we find very quickly the limestones of Chambolle Musigny. Its north-east exposure and the influence of the combe mixed with its limestone soil gives a great freshness to this chambolle. The global warming in our vineyards of these last vintages are very well suited to this colder terroir of or

Tiberio Montepuliciano d'Abruzzo 'Colle Vota' 2019

Montepuliciano from Abruzzo, Italy

Tiberio Montepuliciano d’Abruzzo ‘Colle Vota’ 2019

The 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Vota is intense, trading grace for power in this vintage, with a burst of dried black cherries, dusty sage, roses and Indian spice forming its bouquet. This splashes across the palate, spicy with ultra-ripe wild berry fruits that saturate, expertly balanced by a core of zesty acidity. The 2019 leaves a staining of primary concentration and grippy tannins, puckering the cheeks with youthful tension as salted licorice and balsamic spice notes fade. The 2019 C

Tiberio Montepuliciano d'Abruzzo 'Colle Vota' 2020

Montepuliciano from Abruzzo, Italy

Tiberio Montepuliciano d’Abruzzo ‘Colle Vota’ 2020

“The 2020 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colle Volta is a spice box on the nose, with wilted violets and hints of spiced-orange, white smoke, clove and dried black cherries. It's pleasantly sweet upon entry, with a cool toned feel and lavender-laced wild berry fruits that gain in tension and complexity as a flinty-mineral concentration forms toward the close. This resonates like liquid velvet, leaving sweet tannins offset by hints of sour citrus, finishing long and potent. The balance within is other

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè 2017

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Roagna Barbaresco Pajè 2017

Showing a transparent or almost naked quality of fruit, the Roagna 2017 Barbaresco Pajè is a lovely and graceful wine that maintains an exceptional feeling of lightness and elegance despite everything we've heard about this hot and dry vintage. The workmanship is exceptional in the Pajè with chiseled aromas of forest berry, iris root, licorice and a subtle dusting of white pepper. The mouthfeel is characterized by extremely fine tannins.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 94+ PointsTh
