Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Massolino “Vigna Rionda” Barolo Riserva Etichetta Nera 2016

Barolo lovers will need no reminding: 2016 was an epic vintage, producing a stream of breathtaking wines. First bottled as a single cru in 1982, 2016 marks the 35th vintage of Massolino’s benchmark Barolo, Vigna Rionda, and even those who know this wine intimately will surely not have tasted a greater expression.The sheer quality achieved this this year has led Massolino to introduce a new, all-black label, which henceforth will only be used for very greatest years of Vigna Rionda.

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

Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Champeaux’ 2018

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

Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto 2021

You feel the signature of an elegant vintage in the superbly direct and focused Bruno Giacosa 2021 Barolo Falletto. This beautiful wine offers bright berry fruit, blue flower and crushed stone. This is a complete wine, with aromatic intensity that is matched to the depth of mouthfeel and structure.

Marchese Antinori Solaia Toscana IGT 2018

This is going to be a fascinating vintage to follow at Antinori. There are so many Super Tuscans made from Bordeaux varieties that do my head in. Somehow, they just don't get it right.Solaia is not one of them. Antinori kick out some exceptional vino under this label!They continue to push and build silky tannins and finesse into the mouthfeel, with a focus on energy and vibrancy over the last few years.Seems everyone else agrees with me on this one too!Antinori have added another

Bordeaux Blend from Saint-Julien, Medoc

Château Léoville-Las-Cases 2016

One of the high points of this great vintage, the 2016 Léoville Las Cases is a brilliant wine that unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, pencil shavings, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s concentrated and complete, with beautifully refined tannins, vibrant acids and a long, mineral finish. Even in this series of great wines, it stands out for its cool classicism and unerring precision. Still an infant, while the 2016 is sufficient

Domaine Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Cazetiers’ MAGNUM 2022

A more discreet if still easily perceptible dollop of wood can be found on the more deeply pitched aromas of poached plum, forest floor and a more subtle hint of the sauvage. The supersleek, intense and beautifully textured medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the powerful, youthfully austere and beautifully balanced finale that displays excellent length. One to look for. Drink: 2034+Allen Meadows, Burghound 92-95 Points Sweet spot OutstandingThe 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Francia’ 2020

The 2020 Barolo Francia is a soaring, classically austere wine built for the cellar. Medium in body and driving, with tons of mineral intensity, the 2020 is an evocative wine that makes me think about the future. This is what young Barolo should be - vibrant and stern, but with the purity of fruit that is typical here. The 2020 is so wonderfully alive.Antonio Galli, Vinous 98 Points

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Arione’ 2017

A parcel of Arione has been earmarked for Monfortino in 2015, giving a strong indication of the quality of the site! Roberto acquired a portion of the Arione Cru in 2015. Just under 6 Ha for 6 million euro. It is adjacent to the Francia vineyard, long responsible for both the Barolo ‘Cascina Francia’ and ‘Monfortino’ Riserva in the very southern end of Serralunga. The contours of Arione follow on directly from Francia and the soil profiles are similar with a limestone base compared to Ce

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

Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils Grand Cru ‘Echezeaux’ 2019

This was one of the few wines in the line-up to display any appreciable reduction and in this case it's enough to mask the underlying fruit. The suave, round and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing texture yet there is good underlying power to the acceptably long and complex finale. This seemed slightly out of sorts though I suspect that it will better harmonize once in bottle.Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-93 Points

Domaine Faiveley ‘Mazis Chambertin’ Grand Cru 2020

Mazi is alway a favourite. Hugely long yet impeccably well-balanced! The 2020 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is deep and brooding, unfurling in the glass with aromas of blackberries, peonies, loamy soil and sweet soil tones. Full-bodied, ample and velvety, its concentrated core of fruit is framed by rich, powdery tannins and succulent acids. It's a worthy follow-up to the brilliant 2019.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93-95+ BH 92-94

Moderate wood surrounds the ripe vaguely liqueur-like aromas of various dark berries, spice, violet and lavender.
