Vietti Barbaresco 'Masseria Roncaglie' MAGNUM 2021

Nebbiolo from Barbaresco, Piedmont

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 de la Pousse d'Or Corton 'Clos du Roi' Grand Cru MAGNUM 2022

Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune

Domaine de la Pousse d’Or Corton ‘Clos du Roi’ Grand Cru MAGNUM 2022

Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points

Domaine de l'Arlot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Les Suchots' 2023

Pinot Noir from Vosne-Romanée, Côte-de-Nuits

Domaine de l’Arlot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru ‘Les Suchots’ 2023

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots ler Cru has a floral bouquet, with wilted rose petals infusing the vivacious red cherry/crushed strawberry fruit and just a touch of incense. Very poised, the palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins. It is slightly ferrous toward the finish that lingers nicely. This is not a powerful Vosne-Romanée, but it will drink well for 12 to 15 years. Very fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 92-94 Points

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' 2023

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2023

A pure, elegant and attractively airy, even perfumed, nose reflects notes of mostly red cherry, spice and floral wisps. The punchy and super-sleek medium weight flavors also possess a striking mouthfeel with a more subtle bead of minerality, all wrapped in a balanced and impressively long finale. This is excellent with the development potential to match. ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound 92-94 PointsThe Geverey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' sits next to the Grand Cr

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2022

More discreet wood influence more easily allows the elegant, and more floral, aromas of mostly dark pinot fruit to be enjoyed. The caressing but punchy medium weight flavors possess good mid-palate richness before terminating in a dusty, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This is lovely and very Combottes in character, which is to say refined but with focused power.Allen Meadows, Burghound 91-94 PointsThe Geverey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' sits next to the Grand Cru Lat

Laurent Ponsot Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes Cuvée du Tilleul 2016

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

Laurent Ponsot Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes Cuvée du Tilleul 2016

Check out Burghound's review! Ponsot works a superb 0.6-hectare, old-vine parcel in this renowned vineyard with an average age of nearly 50 years. The site is planted at 12,000 vines per hectare. Ponsot’s vines are at the very top of the vineyard, in line with the top of Les Amoureuses and the bottom of LeMusigny. The outstanding quality of the wine reflects this remarkable terroir and also a remarkable, frost-affected year where the yields were tiny (12hl/ha!). The result is a blockbuster

Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone delle Valpolicella 2017

Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto

Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone delle Valpolicella 2017

A total seductress, the 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a dark beauty. It opens with a dusty bouquet of dried flowers and masses of cherry sauce, offset by spiced orange and nuances of violet pastille. It sweeps across the palate, a model of purity, with crisp wild berry fruits energized by tantalizing acidity and shavings of dark chocolate. Crunchy mineral tones emerge toward the close. The 2017 lingers impossibly long yet remains completely fresh. Grippy tannins remain as hints of

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2016

A reserved but exceptionally elegant and wonderfully pure nose combines notes of plum, violet, spice, earth and a whiff of smoke. The sleek, refined and intense middle weight flavors are less powerful than the Morey 1er but notable finer, all wrapped in a balanced and sneaky long finish. This is a wine that should be approachable young but has the stuffing to age effortlessly.Allen Meadows, Burghound

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Aux Combottes' 2017

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2017

Here too moderately generous wood surround the nose that is also relatively high-toned with its aromas of pomegranate, red cherry, various floral scents and soft spice nuances. The medium weight flavors possess a notably finer texture thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins that also support the long and mildly austere finish that is on the compact side today. I expect this to add flesh and unwind as it ages and as is often the case, this is the best of Lignier's 1ers in 2017.Burghound

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

Domaine Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2018

"Here there is very good freshness to the cool and airy nose of essence of plum, earth, spice and a background application of wood. The lilting and lacy middle weight flavors possess a subtle underlying tension while the ever-so-slightly warm finish is shaped by very fine-grained tannins. This is an exercise in finesse as it is more refined than usual."Allen Meadows, Burghound

"The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes opens in the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it's fleshy and enveloping, with a seductive, giving personality that belies its depth and concentration"William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes sheds a touch of youthful reduction to reveal aromas of cherries, wild berries, exotic spices, forest floor and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it displays considerable promise.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 92-94 Points
