All about finesse!

Nebbiolo from La Morra, Barolo

Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva ‘Rocche dell’Annunziata’ 2019

The difference a couple of years makes for wines of this calibre is insane! Rocche dell’Annunziata is the Barolo Riserva of the Scavino family. A historical, prestigious “grand cru” from La Morra village purchased in 1990.Rocche dell’Annunziata is all about finesse, details, weightless elegance. It’s a symphony of ethereal aromas with harmonic motions. Rose petals, violet, lilac, tar, sweet red cherries, mint, minerals are some of the hallmarks of this beautiful cru. In the texture

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Les Corbeaux' 2022

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Corbeaux’ 2022

Moderate wood frames the ripe and fresh aromas of plum and dark cherry that are laced with earth and sauvage wisps. There is both good verve and richness to the lightly mineral-inflected middleweight plus flavors that possess a seductive mid-palate mouthfeel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the powerful, serious and compact if slightly warm finish. From a texture standpoint, this excellent and highly complex effort walks a fine line as it's not an elegant wine though it's no

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Petite-Chapelle’ 2022

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle is more mineral but also more concentrated than the En Ergot bottling. Bursting with notes of rose petals, raspberries and baking chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and refined, with an intense core of fruit, lively acids and polished tannins, concluding with a saline finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 92-94 PointsA more perfumed and more elegant nose consists mostly of cool red berries and a plethora of spice and fl

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo 'Mosconi' MAGNUM 2021

Nebbiolo from Monforte d'Alba, Barolo

E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Barolo ‘Mosconi’ MAGNUM 2021

The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Mosconi is structured, linear and ultimately quite mineral in character compared to the Cannubi. Its firm underlying architecture is rendered light and fragrant thanks to aromas of blue flower, grilled herb (with both rosemary and aniseed) and pulverized stone. Fruit comes from a site in Monforte d'Alba at a cool 370 meters in elevation. I came back to this bottle 24 hours after my first tasting and remarked on the elegant, chalky nature of the ta

Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo 'Monprivato' 2017

Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, Barolo

Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2017

This wine is full of surprises. From a hot vintage, the Giuseppe Mascarello 2017 Barolo Monprivato is unexpectedly floral, initially, more than it is fruity. Indeed. it shows hardly any sign of the challenges associated with a very dry summer season. Nebbiolo maintains its balance and freshness with an interlude of wild rose and lilac that moves progressively toward cassis, wild cherry and raspberry. The fruit is framed by savory notes of tobacco, rust and autumnal leaf. An elegant mineral note

Domaine de Montille Grand Cru Corton 'Clos du Roi' 2022

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de Montille Grand Cru Corton ‘Clos du Roi’ 2022

A completely different aromatic profile is proffered by the nose of intensely sauvage, smoky dark currant and plum. The delicious and tension-filled medium-bodied flavors possess good power on the serious and lingering finish that is borderline rustic. Excellent development potential here.

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape MAGNUM 2020

"A blend of 55% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape looked exceptional on this day, offering up scents of framboise and kirsch alongside dried flowers and Asian spices. Full-bodied yet weightless, silky and long, this is special stuff, complex and balanced. "The phenolic maturity is there, the sugars are there," Avril said. "No, it won't be like 2019, but I think we will come in around 14.5–15 degrees [of alcohol]. I think, I don'

Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany

Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino 2017

There is something here that takes Sangiovese to a special place, the perfume, the lovely linear shape of fruit, that deceptive depth and length that builds! A captivating mix of ripe plums, strawberries, cloves, violet pastille, balsam herbs and white smoke emanates from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is undeniably elegant in feel, showing a weight unexpected from a young Poggio di Sotto, yet working in perfect harmony, with tart cherries and wild berries drenching the palate in primary

There is something here that takes Sangiovese to a special place, the perfume, the lovely linear shape of fruit, that deceptive depth and length that builds! Poggio di Sotto hits it out the ballpark once again with an extremely elegant interpretation that shows the incredible depth and nuance Sangiovese can achieve, even in an uneven vintage such as this. The certified organic 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a dark ruby hue and mid-weight concentration. Indeed, the wine is lighter and bright

The 2021 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Red toned-fruit, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and exotic citrus notes soar out of the glass.

All of Giacosa’s Barolo wines are single vineyard offerings, and the same is true for the Classico where all of the fruit in the years it is produced comes from Falletto in Serralunga d’Alba. The most recent vintage of Barolo ‘Classico’ is 2020. In the years where a Barolo ‘Classico’ a Barolo ‘Falletto’ and a Barolo ‘Falletto Vigna Le Rocche’ are all produced concurrently (such as 2016), the fruit for the Barolo ‘Classico’ will usually come from the lower and less expose
