Chris Ringland is their Wine Consultant. Chris is landing there this week to blend the new vintage.

I like this bottling for its quality & price point. Although the ABV is rising (15.5%), it really doesn’t show it.

The 21 is well made but needs another 7-8 yrs in bottle to reveal its better self.

They are the King’s of Champagne for a reason.

Beautiful mousse. Both yellow & white stone fruits, tropicals, lime & lemon zest/pulp, green & red apple, cream to whipped cream, ginger skin, grey volcanics-limestone minerals, white spice, taunt chalk, baguette crust, sea fossils/foam, white spring flowers, yellow lilies, excellent acidity, balance, structure, tension & elegance for days with a finish that ends balanced on fruit & minerality.

'Matas Altas' Jumilla Monastrell Blend 2020

9.2

One of the absolute best Monastrell I’ve had from Spain. I specifically told the wine store guy I didn’t line most of these from Spain because they are too fruit driven & flabby. He said this was old school and very reminiscent of southern France. He was spot on: this had that feral quality, meaty, iron, black olives, smoky, just transported me back to the affordable days of Minervois & Bandol. Balanced beautiful generous - kept opening more & more over a couple of hours. A real treat! — 2 years ago

Tempranillo

On a quest to find traditional wines that Igor will like but I will, too :) this Tempranillo hit the spot. Earthy and interesting and smooooooth. — 4 years ago
