Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' 2019

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Molsino’ 2019

The 2019 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding wine. Smoke, incense, licorice and leather open in the glass, but only with great reluctance. A wine of tremendous persistence and presence, the Molsino is so impressive in 2019. It is also embryonic and in need of cellaring. The only question is how long. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural resonance, offering a glimpse of what will come in time. Drink 2029-2049Antonio Galloni, Vinous 97 Points

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Valferana’ 2019

The 2019 Gattinara Valferrana is a dark, potent wine. It deftly marries fruit intensity with elegance, with deep notes of lavender, spice, menthol and crushed rocks. Time in the glass is works wonders here. If anything, I may have underestimated this last year! Drink 2027-2049Antonio Galloni, Vinous 96+ Points

Terre Nere 'Prephylloxera' Etna Rosso D.O.C. The vineyard of Don Peppino 2024

Red Blend from Etna, Sicily

Terre Nere ‘Prephylloxera’ Etna Rosso D.O.C. The vineyard of Don Peppino 2024

To taste wine from 140 year old vines that has not been influenced by growing on a rootstock is becoming a rare thing at a global level. Crushed plum, wild blueberry, sweet sage and lavender pastille join together in a seductive bouquet as the 2024 Etna Rosso Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Calderara Sottana blossoms in the glass. This possesses a pretty inner sweetness and velvety textures, feeling like cashmere on the palate as liquid violet florals and masses of ripe red and blue fru

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara 'Molsino' 2014

Spanna from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Molsino’ 2014

The 2014 Gattinara Molsino is shy and introverted in its first impression, with quite a bit of intensity lurking in the background. Today, the Molsino is not as expressive as the Valferana, but its day will come. With a bit of aeration, the 2014 starts to show the structure, layers of nuance and resonance that will emerge more fully in time.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 PointsHard not to take notice wine Roberto Conterno decided to drop some coin on a new vineyard!

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis ‘Vigna San Giuseppe’ 2013

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis ‘Vigna San Giuseppe’ 2013

This is one of the benchmark traditional Barolo's from a classic years! Every time I’ve tried Cavallotto’s ‘Vigna San Guiseppe’ I’ve gone to a very happed place. The core of fruit in is always insane. Having tasted a dozen of the best Baroli alongside Vigna San Guiseppe over many vintages, it’s clear this is up at the top of the list. Cavallotto’s always beautifully balances power with elegance. The 2013 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is fabulous. The aromatics a

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er 'Chaffots' 2018

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er ‘Chaffots’ 2018

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots wafts from the glass with aromas of plums, cinnamon, peonies, orange rind and raw cocoa. Medium-bodied, fine-boned and lively, it's bright and nicely concentrated, with youthfully chalky tannins and a saline finish. As usual, this is one of the more tightly wound premiers crus in the range, with an elegant, rather ethereal profile, and it will reward bottle age.William Kelley, Parker's Wine Advocate

From a higher-altitude site located in a former quarry, Lignier's 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots unwinds in the glass with aromas of earthy wild berries, cherries, licorice and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's lively and precise, with a more tightly wound, lower-pH profile than the Riotte.William Kelley, Parker's Wine Advocate 92-94 Points AM 91-94 ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva 'Rabajà' MAGNUM 2019
KO 97 AG 94

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva ‘Rabajà’ MAGNUM 2019

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà  is redolent of dark fruit, crushed rocks, graphite, sage, menthol and lavender all race across the palate, supported by bracing, young Rabajà tannins that make themselves felt. This mid-weight, powerhouse Barbaresco packs quite a punch.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points KO 97*NOTE Galloni tasted in Sept 2023 noting his intent to look at the PdB Riservas in 12 months expecting they will resolve and shift up.

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva ‘Ovello’ MAGNUM 2019

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is powerful, savory and intensely linear, in classico Ovello style, and yet it appears to have enough fruit behind its imposing tannins to develop well over the coming years. In this tasting, the Ovello feels pretty closed post bottling, but its inherent balance and qualities are there. Clean saline notes extend the finish in promising fashion.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 94 Points KO 96*NOTE Galloni tasted in Sept 2023 noting his intent to look at the P

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Valferana’ 2020

The 2020 Gattinara Valferana is beautifully lifted and floral. Gorgeous red-toned fruit, white pepper, chalk and orange peel all rush from the glass in this striking, finely-cut Gattinara. Sweet floral notes and a burst of red fruit punctuate the finish. In 2020, the Valferana is all finesse. It should be even more expressive in another few years’ time. Antonio Galloni, Vinous 96 PointsThere are 20 cru vineyards in the Gattinara DOCG appellation, with Valferana, meaning ‘Iron Va

The 2020 Gattinara Molsino is a dark, brooding Gattinara. Black cherry, plum, liquorice, crushed rocks, lavender and spice all race across the palate. A wine of sombre intensity, the 2020 is built for the long haul. Deep and beguiling, firm tannins enshroud the long, building finish. Antonio Galloni, Vinous 97 PointsLocated on the western border of the DOCG, sitting up at 420 metres, Molsino, meaning in local dialect, soft and smooth, is the largest of the vineyards and faces mostly

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru ‘Les Châtelots’ 2023

Here too the nose is fresh, bright and quite pretty with its essence of red pinot fruit, spice and floral nuances. The supple and generous yet punchy medium-bodied flavors also possess an appealing mouthfeel as well as more evident minerality on the ever-so-mildly austere finale.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 PointsThe Chatelots vineyard (2.96 hectares) is also close to the town and partly adjoins Les Charmes.
