Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Monprivato' 2021
Gardini 97+ ID 95 GW 97

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

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

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

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

Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto

Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta 2016

“The 2016 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is intense, with a captivating bouquet that blends cedar shavings, savory herbs and balsamic spices with rum-soaked cherries, sweet lavender and dark chocolate. This sweeps across the palate with silken textures, delivering masses of tart red and black fruits along with hints of espresso bean. Crunchy mineral tones and zesty acidity add dramatic lift. The 2016 tapers off long and staining, sporting a pleasantly bitter tinge of cocoa as grippy ta

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Luciano Sandrone Barolo ‘Aleste’ a.k.a ‘Cannubi Boschis’ 2021

With fruit from the Cannubi Boschis vineyard, the 2021 Barolo Aleste is a lavish and beautiful expression with dark fruit, spice, licorice, cola and blue flower. The house style is always fruit-forward and bold at the Sandrone family estate, but you can also count on the wines to show excellent contouring with oak spice, soft richness and texture thanks to expertly applied tonneaux aging. The balance is impeccable.Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate 97 PointsThe 2021 Barolo Aleste is of

Pinot Noir from Morey-Saint-Denis, Côte-de-Nuits

Stéphane Magnien Morey Saint Denis ‘Vielles Vignes’ MAGNUM 2022

Moderate reduction dominates the nose at present. There is both better complexity and mid-palate density to the still supple and delicious medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a more powerful and noticeably more structured finale. This has fine development potential and is a wine that will need at least some patience. Drink: 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Groseilles’ 2022

This is also aromatically perfumed with better layering to the spicier aromas of mostly red cherry and rose petal. There is markedly more refinement to the seductively, even generously, textured medium weight flavors that also exude a subtle bead of minerality on the impressively long, balanced and more complex finale. This is excellent and is a wine that could be approached young but reward a decade plus of cellaring. (from a .52 ha parcel) 2032+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Bur

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

Domaine Louis Boillot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘les Prûliers’ 2022

“An overtly floral-suffused nose speaks of airy red berry scents that are liberally laced with a lovely range of spice elements as well as subtle earth and humus nuances. There is markedly better complexity to the medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent punch and this sense of vibrancy also can be found on the long and quite firm finish that is moderately austere but not really rustic, indeed I would go so far as to describe this as a Pruliers of relative refinement, which isn't something
