Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto

Giuseppe Quintarelli Amarone delle Valpolicella 2018

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico slowly evolves with a whimsical mix of dusty dried violets, cedar box, cardamom, stone dust and dried black cherries, It displays textures of pure silk, lifted and feminine in nature, as bright red berry fruits wash across the palate, leaving a tactile staining of minerals and sweet tannins. The 2018 shows incredible length and poise, leaving blue and purple inner florals over notes of licorice and clove through the lightly structured and completely

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.

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

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

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

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey Chambertin ‘Cuvée 1859’ MAGNUM 2021

Relatively deeply pitched aromas include violet, plum, black pinot fruit and plenty of sauvage and spice characters along with a hint of herbal tea. The sleek and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors exude a bracing salinity on the impressively long and moderately austere finale that is lightly rustic.

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

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

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aux Combottes’ 2023

The high level of whole cluster vinification is very much in evidence as the aromatic profile is both exceptionally fresh and markedly floral in character with background nuances of red cherry, ripe raspberry and spice. The caressing, delicious and highly energetic medium weight flavors that display a more subtle minerality on the balanced, moderately austere and dusty finale. This is really quite stylish, indeed even classy and a wine that should also age effortlessly. ♥ Sweet spot Outstandin

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

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.

Nebbiolo from Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

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

Cappellano Barolo ‘Rupestris’ MAGNUM 2021

Well colour me Nebbiolo! This is one of THOSE wines! Complete, poised, flowing, filled with personality, an acid-tannin complex that gives vitality & is perfectly weighted against layered fruit of considerable length. The tannins are ripe, nutty & present with a proper level of Barolo grip. It draws you in whispering "DRINK ME!". A pleasure to devour in its youth. Time in bottle will only see this wine elevate to another echelon of pleasure. Enough said. Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Sept 202
