Feeling Thirsty?

Valentini Montepuliciano d’Abruzzo 2017
"Good medium purple-red. Knockout nose offers wild red and dark berries, minerals, violets, white pepper and truffley underbrush. Very suave on entry, then rich, boasting suave ripe red cherry and dark plum flavours complemented by strong brown spice undertones. The wine's impressive volume is nicely buffered by plenty of fresh cut. Closes very long, with serious but fine tannins. Another very sophisticated Montepulciano wine like practically nobody in the world can do. Drinking window: 2028-204

Domaine Arnaud Lambert Samur Brézé 'Clos de Midi' 2023
Looking good! Fresh, style with a nice phenolic grip and cleansing astringency with crunchy mineral acid. Spiced pear and quince with citrus rind and fresh marmalade are balanced by silvery almond lining. Building generosity in the glass.Give this a year in bottle to settle a little and drink over 5 years.
