Vietti Barbaresco 'Masseria Roncaglie' 2021

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Vietti Barbaresco ‘Masseria Roncaglie’ 2021

Serious gear. The depth and length here is insane. An important Barbaresco with mineral, slatey, tannin structure that flows and cleanses. Serious quality of tannin here. Dark and brooding. Yet the generosity is immediate, a prettiness and sophistication with power. Wonderful delicacy & harmony. Incredibly complex. Incredible persistence. Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED Sept 2025The 2021 Barbaresco Roncaglie is a powerful, tightly wound wine. Blood orange, mint, cinnamon and white peppe

They both have that hallmark Castiglione tannin layered, supple and of line and length. Underbrush, tilled soil, blue flower, pipe tobacco and wild berry aromas mingle to

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey Chambertin 'Cuvée 1859' 2019

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

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey Chambertin ‘Cuvée 1859’ 2019

The Derée Champérier vineyard was purchased by the Trapet family in 1859. After 160 uninterrupted years of farming this terroir, current generation Pierre & Louis wanted to make a cuvée as an hommage to the many generations of Trapet vignerons that have come before them. Thanks to its purity and terroir-transparency, they felt the 2019 vintage was the perfect moment to produce the Cuvee 1859.

Domaine Louis Boillot Pommard 1er Cru 'Croix Noires' 2022

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Louis Boillot Pommard 1er Cru ‘Croix Noires’ 2022

“This is perhaps even cooler and more restrained with its layered array of various dark berries, plum, freshly turned earth and a whiff of violet. The mid-palate mouthfeel of the middleweight plus flavors is quite refined yet this contrasts substantially with the moderately rustic, dusty, austere and serious finale. This very powerful and compact effort is expressly built-to-age and is one that is definitely going to need it, indeed I would be surprised if it is approachable before 10 years ha

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2021

A little lift blows off quickly. Serious wine with completeness and intensity. Seamless on palate, the shape and flow is superb. Superb tannin. Layered long and fine. So flowing. When this builds generosity and the acid resolves it will be something special. Elegance and delicacy. Powerful fruit tamed by the acids. Deceptive length and depth. A lovely suite of flavours and aromas.Gardini 97+ Points ID 95 GW 97

Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 40 Anniversario 2022

Red Blend from Bolgheri, Tuscany

Grattamacco Bolgheri Rosso Superiore 40 Anniversario 2022

2022 Grattamacco pours a more youthful red/purple hue and opens to a more blue-fruited nature at this early stage, with sweetly perfumed aromas of blackberry, violet candies, pressed sage, and fresh earth. The palate is gorgeous and full, with velvety tannins, a youthful plushness of fruit, and its characteristic savory elements highlighting the wine with a long, balanced finish. It’s a very even wine but does show the stress of a hot year with late rains. It feels like the duck on water – g

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

Domaine Jean Marc & Hugues Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru ‘La Dominode’ MAG 2022

Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! This is at once the spiciest and the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its ripe yet ultra-fresh nose of various dark berries, anise and newly turned earth scents. The mouthfeel is also intriguing as it combines excellent density with an appealing sleekness that carries over to the mineral-driven, powerful and compact finale that is wonderfully persistent if very clearly built-to-age. This is almost always Pavel
