ZUCCARDI FINCA PIEDRA INFINITA 2016-Zuccardi Wines
The aromas of dark fruit with nutmeg and cloves are fascinating. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory finish. A soulful wine. Subtle but complex.
-
THORLE SCHLOSSBERG RIESLING ECO 2023-Weingut Thorle
Already the deep spicy and smoky nose announces the seriousness of this great Rheinhessen dry riesling. Imposing stature on the medium- to full-bodied palate, but every bit as much structure, in which fine tannins and minerally acidity deftly interlock. Still very youthful, with intense, salty, preserved lemon character in the cool, extremely long finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan.

PIPER-HEIDSIECK CHAMPAGNE CUVEEE BRUT-Piper-Heidsieck
A fruity and playful champagne brut. On the nose aromas of apples and pear pie follow through to a medium body with medium bubbles. Supple, fruity and refreshing.
-
CUVEE RESERVEE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2019-Domaine du Pegau
This youthful Chateauneuf has a very complex nose of graphite, raw meat and lilies. With aeration the black-cherry note steadily grows in intensity. Bold, leathery and earthy palate with fine tannins that build steadily on at the extremely long and straight mineral finish.
-
MORMORETO 2021-Frescobaldi
A modern and complex Toscana with plenty of dark spices, cedar, chocolate and fresh blackberries. Fresh, juicy and lightly chewy on the palate, with a medium to full body and a long, spicy finish. I like the freshness and tension. Give it one or two years to let the wood spices meld.
-
THE CHOCOLATE BLOCK 2022-Boekenhoutskloof
Bay leaves, currants and violets on the nose with a touch of iron. It’s medium- to full-bodied, balanced and supple. I like the herb and peppercorn freshness. Blend of 77% syrah, 9% grenache, cinsault, 5% cabernet sauvignon and 1% viognier.

CIACCI PICCOLOMINI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2020-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
A profound wine with vibrancy and complexity, exuding restrained cherries and raspberries, together with touches of ash and fresh orange peel. Leafiness and meaty minerality add an extra dimension. The attack is lush and ripe, with full body, velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and violet-soaked cherries to finish. Real precision here.
-
PEGASO BARRANCOS DE PIZARRA 2021-Telmo Rodriguez
Wild cherries, strawberries and red mulberries. Quite different in texture on the palate compared with Granito. A little more linear on the palate with chalky, minerally attractive tannins. Long, fresh and drinkable
-
PIEROPAN AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA RISERVA 2018-Pieropan
Four years of aging in 90% tonneaux and 10% barriques, with an additional year in bottle before release. The oak is smart, serving to compress the sweet cherry fruit while lending an accent of savoriness. Finely wrought tannins that are still etched with wood but refined. This will find its place with patience. Cooler sourcing from the eastern zone of Ilasi, a limestone-dominant terroir that is increasingly becoming a great source for fresh reds.
-
PRINCE MATEI 2017-Crama DeMatei
This maturing Romanian merlot has a stunning nose of red-berry fruit with excellent savory complexity. Elegant balance of generous, fine tannins and animating acidity on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Then you really feel the concentration at the long, plush finish.
-
LINDES DE REMELLURI LABASTIDA 2020-Remelluri
A fuller and chewier expression here with a medium to full body. Fresh blackberries, mussels, stones and a hint of black pepper. Lots of fruit on a palate with a tangy, peppery finish.
