J.G.Benda Brunello di Montalcino 2021

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

J.G.Benda Brunello di Montalcino 2021

The J. G. Benda 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with aromas of rosewood, spice and dark fruit sourced from sandstone soils near Il Greppo. A pretty mineral note frames the bouquet but remains secondary to the ripe, primary fruit that drives the wine, and the palate leans into a mild, supple mouthfeel with finely powdery tannins. Living and expressive in character, this is a fleshed-out and well-balanced Brunello produced in a limited quantity of just 2,450 bottles.Monica Larner, The Wine A

J.G.Benda Peitrafocaia di Sopra IGT 2021

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

J.G.Benda Peitrafocaia di Sopra IGT 2021

The J. G. Benda 2021 Pietrafocaia di Sopra is more reserved and introspective than the Brunello di Montalcino, trading immediacy for greater depth and textural complexity. The wine takes time to unfold, revealing a pronounced crushed-stone minerality that adds verticality and structure, while powdery, elegant tannins support an open-knit yet composed drinking style. Produced in only 2,444 bottles, this is a quietly compelling wine that rewards patience in the glass. Fruit comes from old vines pl

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune 1er 'Vigne l'Enfant Jesus' 2020

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune 1er ‘Vigne l’Enfant Jesus’ 2020

This one of the more floral-suffused wines in the range with its hints of violet, rose petal and lavender that add touch of elegance to the very ripe poached plum scents that presently lack a bit of freshness. There is verve and freshness on the palate of the dense, voluminous and punchy flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannins shaping the powerful, serious and mildly warm finale. Note that my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that t

Tua Rita Per Sempre Syrah Toscana IGT 2016

Shiraz/Syrah from Suvereto, Maremma

Tua Rita Per Sempre Syrah Toscana IGT 2016

Tua Rita's 2016 Syrah Per Sempre is fabulous. Crème de cassis, lavender, licorice, plum and blueberry jam are all beautifully delineated. Savory, powerful and also structured, the 2016 has plenty of intensity, but it also is not as dense or obvious as has been the case in the recent past. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2016 for at least a few years.Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Recaredo Corpinnat 'Turó d'en Mota' Brut Nature 2009

Monastrell from Penedès, Catalunya

Recaredo Corpinnat ‘Turó d’en Mota’ Brut Nature 2009

Incredible! Toasty development shows on opening quickly making way for an energetic perfume as the wine opens beautifully freshening and building energy. Excellent length and depth. Quite delicious, wonderful chalky, phenolic, texture graced by a cleansing bitter line. The mousse is complete and seamless. Subtle cereal character akin to a great Vino di Pasto. The core of flavour has a transparency and delicacy complexed by fresh green and woody.  Such is the importance of this gastronomic wine

Cappellano Barolo 'Rupestris' 2021

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Cappellano Barolo ‘Rupestris’ 2021

Well colour me Nebbiolo! This is one of THOSE wines! Complete, poised, flowing, filled with personality, an acid-tannin complex that gives vitality & is perfectly weighted against layered fruit of considerable length. The tannins are ripe, nutty & present with a proper level of Barolo grip. It draws you in whispering "DRINK ME!". A pleasure to devour in its youth. Time in bottle will only see this wine elevate to another echelon of pleasure. Enough said. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 202

Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru ‘Les Suchots’ 2020

About Mongeard-Mugneret The Mongeard family arrived in Vosne-Romanée in the 1620, with records showing a Mongeard working as vigneron for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in 1786. Their legacy now spans over eight generations, however they continue to produce wine with the utmost respect for tradition. In 1945, Jean Mongeard, whose mother was a Mugneret, found […]

Place of Changing Wines 'High Density' Pinot Noir 2024

Pinot Noir from Macedon, Victoria

Place of Changing Wines ‘High Density’ Pinot Noir 2024

Great composure, harmony and flow on nose that carries through to the palate. The density and extraction is easily handled by the fruit weight. Whilst rich, there is transparency. Fine, long acid, with complexing tannin. It will be fascinating to see where this ends up with time in bottle. A wine of vibrant and energetic purity. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Oct 2026High Density is only released in the very best years, with the last release being 2021. Although all of our wines are high-d

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 1er Cru 'Rugiens-Haut' 2017

Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 1er Cru ‘Rugiens-Haut’ 2017

Ben does such a great job in the Côtes-de-Beaune. There's a certain harmony that comes across in the reds he makes here. It makes sense given his familiarity with the region following his time at Comte-Armand. He talks of his efforts to shift the styles of the Pommards from rustic and super tannic to more perfumed and supple. He's succeeded in achieving that with the Pommards not only at Comte-Armand, but, at his own Domaine too!The 1er Cru Rugiens-Hauts is an impeccable site

Intoxicating! 🌹

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015

It just invites you in! This is what wine is about! Costanti's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva takes a good amount of time to blossom in the glass. It’s dusty and floral in character, blowing off notes of white smoke and crushed stone before showing a delightful mix of ripe plums, cherries and sweet spice balanced by hints of leather and flowery undergrowth. There’s a wonderful purity to its red berry fruits, guided by juicy acids and salty minerals, which creates a refreshing yet tactil

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Grand Cru 'Le Corton' 2019

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Grand Cru ‘Le Corton’ 2019

An overtly floral nose reflects notes of rose petal, lavender, acacia and violet along with nuances of red and black fruit, earth and a whiff of forest floor. There is excellent intensity, size, weight and power to the attractively textured big-bodied flavors that brim with minerality on the caressing but punchy finale. This beautifully balanced effort is in the classic mold of this wine as it's very clearly built for the long haul and again, I would suggest not touching this wine for at least a
