Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Margherita Otto ‘M8’ Barolo MAGNUM 2018

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2018 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! "Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Lifted, perfumed red fruit of great appeal with complex, minty oak notes. A mouthful of juicy cherry fruit with supple acidity and fantastic, crunchy tannins. Freshness and bite combined with elegance. Hugely appealing."Walter Speller, Jancis

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino ‘Riserva 10 anni’ 2015

The 2015 Riserva Diecianni is a special Brunello, savoury, earthy, with a sweet core of fruit, a little spice and much more beyond. The quality of the tannins, their depth and complexity alone impress. The super-fine-resolved acids offer exceptional energy. At 11 years old this is a Brunello in a beautiful place with much more to come. Flowing with long, even tannins.It represents a significant step up from the already impressive Brunello. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded June 2026A wond

Nebbiolo from Gattinara, Alto Piemonte

Nervi-Conterno Gattinara ‘Molsino’ 2016

Richness and generosity, yet freshness’s. Dark, long, fine, generous, composed and long. Still waiting to express its true self. Perhaps with a bottle over a night rather than a taste it would. It clearly has a long life ahead of it. Such incredible length. Starting to opening up in the glass with a little coaxing it is built so impressively. A special wine. The acid and tannin profile will see it hold for many years. Another expression of Nebbiolo that differs from those of Valtellina and Bar

Sometimes when your vineyard is surround that's OK especially when it's surrounded by DRC! I've had the pleasure of drinking La Grande Rue a couple of times. It's the benchmark wine of the estate that sits across a tiny laneway from LaTâche. La Grande Rue is sensual, feminine, with an incredible perfume, and silky texture.

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

Exuberantly fresh aromas of essence of various red berries with a broader array of spice notes leads to detailed, even chiseled, lighter weight flavors that exude both energy and minerality on the understated, firm and moderately austere finale.Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-92 PointsThe Chatelots vineyard (2.96 hectares) is also close to the town and partly adjoins Les Charmes. The topsoil is deeper and more alluvial, with plenty of small stones. This cuvée is always energetic and bri

Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva ‘Ovello’ MAGNUM 2021

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello shows greater richness and structure on the mid-palate, with ripe and supple flavors of red and purple fruit that give the wine an especially generous personality. This is a concentrated expression of Nebbiolo, yet it remains direct, sharp and beautifully focused, fully living up to the reputation of this highly collectible vintage. The added depth of fruit is balanced by freshness, creating a wine that is both powerful and elegantly c

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

Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘Les Vaucrains’ 2022

As is the case with the Chênes Carteaux, there is a high-toned note of herbal present on the poached plum and sauvage-suffused aromas. I very much like the texture of the tautly muscular yet relatively fine middleweight flavors that exude a bead of minerality on the balanced, youthfully austere and impressively long finale. This is excellent. (from a 1.08 ha mix of younger and older vines that average about 50+ years of age) 2032+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Points

Rhône Blend from Châteauneuf du Pape, Southern Rhône

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Le Secret des Sabon’ 2017

“On another level, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon is stacked and packed and ranks with the top 2-3 wines in this great vintage. A huge nose of blackcurrants, melted licorice, graphite, garrigue and pepper gives way to an uber-full-bodied, concentrated, massively endowed wine that has an insane level of opulence and decadent, sweet tannins, and a huge finish. This is a tour de force in wine that readers need to taste to believe. Given its wealth of fruit and texture, it’s a

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

It just invites you in! This is what wine is about! A deeply sensual bouquet of freshly sliced plums, crushed violets, mentholated herbs and Tuscan dust rises up from the 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva. This is deeply textural while also cool-toned and refined, with mineral-tinged red and black berries cascading across a core of brisk acidity. Tension builds throughout, as grippy tannins mount toward the close, nicely contrasted by a burst of sour citrus. There’s a crystalline structure t
