COMENTARIILE LUI James Suckling
-
CAMARCANDA BOLGHERI DOC 2018-Gaja Ca'Marcanda
Very typical for the region of Bolgheri, showing fresh and dried herbs, from sage to mint, with currants and dark berries. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and very attractive length and energy. Very drinkable now, but better in 2023.
-
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.
-
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.
-
VINA ARDANZA RESERVA 2015-La Rioja Alta
A rich nose of raspberry, crushed strawberry, blueberry, coconut, cedar and sweet spice. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Creamy, balanced and layered with vibrant, spicy character. Long and polished. 80% tempranillo and 20% garnacha. Drink 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.
-
MACAN 2016-Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia
Sweet-berry, lavender and blueberry aromas follow through to a full body with round, juicy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little hard now.
-
TIGNANELLO 2017-Antinori
A dense, really pinpointed red with plums and hazelnuts. Full-bodied and very polished with fine, creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows real finesse for the vintage. Better after 2023, but already a joy to taste.
-
EL ENEMIGO CHARDONNAY 2019-Bodega Aleanna
Cooked apple, lemon curd and light vanilla on the nose, together with stone, mineral and some dried flowers. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and beautiful fruit. Hints of vanilla and pie crust in the aftertaste. Always great quality for the price. Drink or hold.
-
PINTIA 2016-Vega Sicilia
Blueberry, lavender and some vanilla and cedar character. It’s medium-bodied with round tannins and a flavorful finish. Nice, creamy texture. It finishes reserved, polished and complex. So drinkable now, but one of the cellar as well.
-
CAIAROSSA 2015-Tenuta Caiarossa
A refined and attractive red with a core of ripe berry and plum character. Medium to full body, ripe yet fine tannins and a fresh finish. Shows length and beauty.
