Giovanni Sordo Barolo 'Monprivato' 2015
The Super Stars!

Giovanni Sordo Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2015

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Earthy and savoury with great depth and length. Incredible core of fruit. So many layers of flavour and tannin, just so much to get from this wine. Such purity, detail, so fine, it draws you in! Update Nov 2024: Drinking superbly. Incredible complexity. Layered with fine, long, flowing tannins. Ridgey's cranberries and faded flowers on full display. Delicious, expressive drinking straight out of the gate showing the typical immediate approachability of Sordo (and many other's) 2015 Barolos. Cle

Old vine depth & persistence
Lovely limpid color bright. Nose detailed cool fruits red fruit focused hint of rose petal and a lick of new oak. Palate is tight and super fresh and intense but also has an airy lightness to it. Tannins are slightly sinewy and grippy to close but the elevated fruit and texture carry long.Pure and focused Drink 2023-2038Tom Carson

Weinbach Sylvaner 2021

Silvaner | France, Alsace

“Very ripe quince nose, with fresh fruit and a hint of caramelised fruit. Excellent balance of ripeness and vitality, although the acidity is barely present in the foreground, only showing its hand at the long, wet-stone finish.”Stuart Pigott, Jamessuckling.com 92 Points
