Vietti Barbaresco 'Masseria Roncaglie' MAGNUM 2021
Serious gear. The depth and length here is insane. An important Barbaresco with mineral, slatey, tannin structure that flows and cleanses. Serious quality of tannin here. Dark and brooding. Yet the generosity is immediate, a prettiness and sophistication with power. Wonderful delicacy & harmony. Incredibly complex. Incredible persistence. Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED Sept 2025The 2021 Barbaresco Roncaglie is a powerful, tightly wound wine. Blood orange, mint, cinnamon and white peppe

Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Les Clos des Chênes Vielles Vignes 2022
The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate with a cool core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the floral finish. Especially suave and perfumed, it's reminiscent of a purer, more integrated version of Bouley's 2019. Drink 2030-2050 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 95 Points

Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets Vielles Vignes 2022
The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets is the most elegant, ethereal premier cru in the cellar, wafting from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of raspberries and red plums mingled with bergamot, spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, delicate and pure, with a satiny attack that segues into a layered mid-palate framed by ultra-refined tannins and lively acids, it concludes with a long, mineral finish.

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru 'Clos de la Bousse d'Or' MAGNUM 2022
A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound  (91-94) Point

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champeaux’ 2020

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

With its eroded limestone walls covered in creepers and wild flowers, this is one of Gevrey's most picturesque vineyards. It is situated up high, on the border of Brochon next to Les Evocelles, in what is simply the most beautiful part of Gevrey. The vines here are now 80 years old and the soils are very stony with red clays, and the mother-rock very close to the surface. Mortet ploughs his four small plots (totaling 0.5-hectares) by horse.This is a site that typically delivers very small be

Àlvaro Palacios 'Finca Dolfi' MAGNUM 2021
I had the pleasure of devouring the 2016 about 18 months ago over an aged scotch fillet with a friend. A wine of presence and importance. Along with the other Priorats I've had from Àlvaro it's clear he's got it right in both the vineyard and the winery. After all, to make a wine like the legendary L'Ermita you need mad skills!Even just after landing in the country when wines are a little out of sorts from shipping across the world, the perfume builds in the glass with all the trademark

Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2021
This wine comes from the 1er Cru section of Morey’s Monts Luisants vineyard, much of which is AOC Clos de la Roche today. Ponsot labels it Cuvée des Alouettes (alouette is a lark) to differentiate it from the white wine from this lieu-dit (1er Cru Clos des Monts Luisants Blanc).

Roagna Barolo Pira MAGNUM 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

On openning the Pira was all beefstock, savoury with a hint of reduction. Revisited with 15 hours in the glass. There you have it DJ Luca has been at it again. The fruit has come to the fore. The faded flowers so common with great wines from Castiglione Falleto are shining along with red fruit, orange and a hint of baking spice. It’s the shape, focus, mouthfeel and exceptional interplay between fruit of depth and length weighted beautifully against long even tannin matched to vibrant acid that

Vietti Barbaresco ‘Rabajà Riserva’ 2019

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barbaresco

The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Rabajà is a new wine from Vietti. It soars out of the glass with a captivating bouquet redolent of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and orange peel. The aromatics alone are beguiling. Nervy and classic in build, with gorgeous inner sweetness, the 2019 is utterly irresistible.Antoni Galloni, Vinous 95 PointsVietti worked in the Rabajà cru in the 1980s and has now returned to make this inaugural vintage of the latest wine to join the portfolio.
