I’ve been more convinced on every occasion that I’ve had the 2017 Manni Nössing Grüner Veltliner. A stellar in its price range. Perfectly ripe stone fruit over over a savory and stony canvas. Dense and present on the palate with a high pitched backbone and a fresh acidity, the salty minerality is lying on par with the ripe fruit profile throughout a solid and balanced finish. — 3 days ago

‘A Rina Etna Rosso from Giralomo Russo is drop dead gorgeous with an enchanting red fruit nose and a savory and stony background. Fresh and good grip on the palate but falls a bit short to qualify for the big league. Nevertheless, considering its modest price this must qualify as a bargain. — a month ago

Rich and plush with an elegant touch that is Palacios doing Priorat for y’all! Ripe, near compot-like fruit profile with wet stones and a well tucked in and integrated oak profile luring in the back. A long interplay between the soft and velvety tannins and the fresh acidity is pulsing through a solid and stimulating finish. — a month ago

Good quality wine, balanced with a modest expressiveness, only moderate complexity, falling short on the finish. — 2 months ago

My last bottle of 2012 Robert Chevillon Nuits Saint George
caught at a stage on its maturing curve, where the red fruit turns to dried fruit, rose petal is being backed by autumn leaves followed by sous bois and a dash of earthy spice. Lovely indeed! — 3 days ago

A solid performance as always from ye good ol’ Petruccino and a great expression of the diversity that Sangiovese can provide. 15% alcohol by reading the label, but only a bit warming, instead it brings texture that is well encapsuled by the dense fruit profile without loosing its freshness, superbly textured tannins and a vigourating acidity is drivning the wine forward with an athletic posture. Luxurious nose where the perfectly placed oak profile is well nurtured by the suave and dense fruit over a stony and stimulating background. — 22 days ago

Schäfer Frölisch Stromberg, glorious in all its ways . Deep and developing complexity reaching all the way down the the parent rock in its minerality, interwoven with a fresh yet ripe fruit profile. The palate is high on the treble with full support from the orchestra in the background. — a month ago

Valmaggiore; a superiour vineyard in Roero. The sandier soils brings finesse, elegance and a more approachable and instant wine compared to the big boys of Barolo and Barbaresco. This treasure with the legend Bruno Giacosa behind the wheel must be a hallmark example from the cru. Enchanting and mesmerizing nose showcasing the grandeur of Nebbiolo with a varietal, red fruit-rosy primary character and a pronounced savoury and earthy background. Good grip on the palate with fine knitted and gripping tannins and a salivating acidity that is bringing a balanced act through the finish. — 21 days ago

I seldom drink rosé, unless it’s champagne of course, but the appelaing recipe and heritage of Clos Cibonne caught my intention.
The Cuvée Prestige Caroline is a very pleasing rosé indeed, the elevage in oak adds a comforting and balance complexity, taking those fresh red fruit character and adding a well portioned chunk of vanilla whipped cream to the canvas, a broad texture is gracefully being led by a fresh spine, creating a balanced interplay throughout the finish. — a month ago

9.5

Astonishing fruit concentration with a crystalline freshness that is impressingly managing to interwove the pronounced savory complexity. Mesmerizing presence on the palate that is pulsing through the long finish. Yet it’s only a baby and God knows what this will be as an adult. The legend sure is true, Gonon: St Joseph elevated to infinity. — 2 months ago
