Tiberio Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOP 2022
Cerasuolo is a generic term used for Rosé in some parts of Italy. Tiberio have nailed this one. Bone dry, crunchy, juicy, vibrant, a wonderful refreshing zing from super fine acid. It's divine! A fine layer of tannin offers just enough grip to add textural intrigue. Guido's note is bang on. Don't overchill it. Definitely knock it back to 10°C and allow it to play in the low teens as you devour it.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedThe 2022 Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo seduces with its perfumed blend of

Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat Grand Cru 'Romanée-Saint-Vivant' 2021
The 2021 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a real success, soaring from the glass with aromas of raspberries, peonies, exotic spices, loamy soil, orange zest and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a satiny attack and a seamless, sensual mid-palate, it concludes with a long, perfumed finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 94-95 Points BH 94

Marcarini Barolo 'La Serra' 2021

Marcarini Barolo ‘La Serra’ 2021

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

A very strong La Serra from Marcarini. Oppulent, generous, shows off the Commune of La Morra in full flight! Savoury, with a drip of salty blood over red fruit and blood orange. Flowing, plush, round & fine. Delicious. The best La Serra in years. Beautiful development. Ripe, fine tannins. A long, long finish. Incredibly moreish even at this youthful point in its life! Will make for a lovely comparison with Sordo’s 2021 La Serra.Paul Kaan, WINE DECODED Sept 2025The 2021 Barolo

Vajra Barolo 'Coste di Rose' 2017

Vajra Barolo ‘Coste di Rose’ 2017

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

The 2017 Barolo Coste di Rose is pretty, supple and inviting. Some of the tannins need to resolve, but this is a young Barolo after all. The Coste di Rose doesn't have the sensuality of the Albe or the pedigree of the Viole, but it nevertheless has so much to give. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint, crushed rocks and sage are some of the many notes that linger. I won't be surprised if the 2017 is even better than this note suggests once it softens a bit.  Galloni
