Vietti Barolo 'Cerequio' 2018

Nebbiolo from Commune di Barolo, Barolo

Vietti Barolo ‘Cerequio’ 2018

The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is a new wine in this range. Soaring aromatics and bright, red-toned fruit give the Cerequio its effusive personality. Nuanced and deep, with tremendous complexity and tons of character, the Cerequio is dazzling. This is everything a great Barolo from Cerequio should be. In other words: textbook. More over, it's one of the best wines of this very uneven vintage. Drink 2028 - 2048 Galloni

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Le Secret des Sabon' 2019

Rhône Blend from Châteauneuf du Pape, Southern Rhône

Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Le Secret des Sabon’ 2019

“The tiny production 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Secret Des Sabon is a field blend of mostly Grenache brought up all in wooden tronconique barrels. It's closest in style to the Prestige Cuvée yet brings another level of opulence and richness without losing any sense of elegance or class. Blackberries, peppery herbs, graphite, crushed violets, and a liquid rock-like minerality all define the nose, and it hits the palate with incredible depth of fruit, full-bodied richness, and ripe yet buildi

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune 1er 'Vigne l'Enfant Jesus' 2021

Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Beaune 1er ‘Vigne l’Enfant Jesus’ 2021

Weber noted that they protected the vines with warming pots that allowed for a yield of about 22 hl/ha. More obvious oak influence stops short of fighting with the spicy and earthy purple fruit-scented nose. There is notably more density, power and volume to the bigger-bodied flavors that possess a seductive mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the robust but not rustic finale that delivers markedly better depth and persistence. 2029+ Sweet spot Outstanding ♥Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-9

Giovanni Sordo Barolo Riserva 'Gabutti' MAGNUM 2008
The Bold!

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Giovanni Sordo Barolo Riserva ‘Gabutti’ MAGNUM 2008

The 2008 Riserva we see the parallels with the 2015. The long structure is there, the complexity has built further, the wine is now fully comfortable wearing it's own skin, having resolved and built generosity. Of the 2015 it was clear that there was no chance to mistake the Gabutti, with its abundance of darker things; stock, porcini, graphite, smoke and black cherry. Under this very typical Serralunga ‘tarry/earthy’ mantle though, are other complexities of dried roses, orange and spices. T

Massolino "Albesani" Barbaresco MAGNUM 2020

Nebbiolo from Neive, Barbaresco

Massolino “Albesani” Barbaresco MAGNUM 2020

On the western hills above Neive, Albesani is one of the great vineyards of Barbaresco. In his “Barbaresco MGA”, Alessandro Masnaghetti writes that “the combination of soil, stature and exposure creates one of the greatest vineyards of the Langhe”. So perhaps it won’t be a surprise that, of the three Barbaresco parcels, Massolino has chosen to bottle its first single-vineyard wine from this site. As Franco Massolino explains: “From the very first moment this wine began to ferment, we

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 'Les Charmes' 2022

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

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

A more deeply pitched nose combines notes of poached plum and exotic tea with those of violet, lilac and a suggestion of wood. The richer and more voluminous flavors possess more evident power if not the same refinement on the more structured finale. This is also nicely balanced but in contrast to the Groseilles, it’s not likely to drink especially well before 8 to 10 years have passed.

This one’s an argument for blending sites! The Barolo Via Nuova is an organic blend of fruit from six MGA sites: Terlo and Liste (in Barolo), Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (in Monforte d’Alba) and Gabutti and Baudana (in Serralunga d’Alba).The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Via Nuova opens to a little more dark fruit and ripe berry in this vintage. The wine is buttoned up from all sides into a tight little package of aromas.

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘A Capita’ 2019

"Discreet but perceptible wood frames the ripe essence of plum, red and dark cherry, violet and a touch of violet. There is equally good energy to the suave, round and richer medium-bodied flavors that possess a sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the serious, firm, and firmly austere, finale. Patience advised. ♥ Drink: 2031+"Allen Meadows, Burghound
