COMENTARIILE LUI James Suckling
-
LANZAGA 2018-Telmo Rodriguez
This is so beautifully balanced with bright fruit, creamy and crunchy acidity and delicate tannins. Full and compressed with very polished tannins that go on for minutes. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
-
GUADO AL TASSO 2018-Marchesi Antinori
Lots of redcurrants and flowers on the nose, together with crushed stones. Full-bodied and very layered with beautiful fruit and density, yet it remains agile and light. The tannins are totally integrated. I like the light herbal touch to the red fruit here. Flower petals. Juicy, flavorful finish with citrus zest at the end. 60% Cabernet sauvignon, 22% cabernet franc and 18% merlot. Really pretty now, but wait two or three years.
-
ROSSO DEI NOTRI 2020-Tua Rita
Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit with hints of blackberries, cherries and hazelnuts. Medium body, fine tannins with hints of herbs and dark fruit, and a lovely finish. Sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah.
-
SERIOUSLY OLD DIRT 2019-Vilafonte
Aromas of redcurrants and dark earth follow through to a full body with plenty of dark-cherry and berry flavors and a long, flavorful finish. Creamy and round tannins, yet tight and focused. Bark and berry aftertaste. Drink or hold.
-
LUCA OLD VINE MALBEC 2019-Laura Catena
Amazing depth and intensity to this old-vine malbec with blackberry and black-licorice character to the wine. Violets, too. It’s full and dense, yet remains energetic and long. Polished, refined tannins. A gorgeous, plush red. Drinkable now for its generosity, but let it mellow with a few years of bottle age. Better after 2024.
-
ROGGIO DEL FILARE 2018-Velenosi
Rich black fruit with hints of iodine (almost sea urchin-like) and long-empty cigar box. Full-bodied with juicy fruit and well-integrated tannins that push out more pure fruit as they gradually firm up, to produce a long, long finish. This is still pretty much in nascent state and will need at least another couple of years for the evident complexity to spread right through the wine. Should be worth the wait. Try from 2024.
-
LUDI OFFIDA 2018-Velenosi
Lots of crushed blackcurrants on the nose, together with herbal notes, such as onion-flower, as well as vanilla stick. Full-to medium-bodied with intense fruit and herb flavors and a gentle, fine-tannin build towards a long, firm finish. Needs and other year for better integration, but the prime ingredients are well defined. Best from 2023.
-
AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA 2018-Zonin
Amarena cherries with spicy and chocolatey notes on the nose. Full-bodied, dense and silky palate with almost powdery tannins and a long finish of fruit and spice. Textbook Amarone. Drink or hold.
-
PALAZZO DELLA TORRE 2018-Allegrini
A solid core of curranty fruit with smoky and spicy notes that add complexity. Full-bodied with good balance of smoky fruit and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Drive and length to this. Nicely done. Delicious now, or hold.
-
CAPITEL SAN ROCCO VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO 2018-Tedeschi
Tightly packed plum and berry on the nose, with some laurel leaves and a hint of black pepper. Medium-to full-bodied with lots of tension to the fruit and quite a tight tannin frame. It’s all there, but this is like a closed fist. Needs time to open up and expand. Best from 2023.
-
RIOJA GRAN RESERVA 2012-Marques de Caceres
Currant, blackberry and some plum undertones, as well as floral and burnt-orange notes. Linear and firm on the palate with a medium to full body and a polished, tannic finish. Very clean and refined texture, yet displaying strength at the same time. Drink or hold.
-
EL ENEMIGO SEMILLON 2019-Bodega Aleanna
Peach, dried-mango, lime-zest, clove and flint aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with zesty acidity and a waxy texture. Complex and focused with evolving layers of citrus, stone fruit, almonds and minerals. The palate builds and delivers such interest and beauty. Long. One of the top whites of Argentina. Drink or hold.
