2016
Feret Lambert 2022 Bordeaux Superieur
A fresh and expressive Bordeaux with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry layered with subtle florals, spice, and a hint of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, showing juicy red and dark fruit framed by bright acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins that add structure without heaviness. Clean and approachable yet nicely focused, finishing with a savoury, mineral edge and an easy, food-friendly charm.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Castagni
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 6,000 bottles
Soil: Marl & Limestone
Castagni vineyard lies at an altitude of 370 to 450 metres above sea level. Given the near perfect vintage, the 2016 Castagni offers beautiful drinking now but will most certainly reward cellaring. Incredible value for money here in such a pricey and sought after vintage. Lots of typical dark morello cherry and forest fruit, sweet spice and leather with a more savoury, smoky finish and firm but rounded tannins. This is a remarkably harmonious young Barolo.
Reverdito 2020 Barolo
A classically styled Barolo showing lifted aromas of sour cherry, dried strawberry, rose petal, and violet layered with hints of tar, licorice, and sweet spice. The palate is structured and linear, with firm but refined tannins framing pure red fruit, orange peel, and subtle earthy undertones carried by vibrant acidity. Youthful and tightly coiled in its current state, finishing long and savoury with mineral grip and the clear promise of graceful evolution in bottle.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Ascheri
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
Marcoux 2016/23 Chateauneuf Du Pape VV
A benchmark old-vine Grenache cuvée showing soaring aromatics of kirsch, raspberry, and crushed cherry layered with rose petal, spice, and a subtle cocoa nuance. The palate is rich yet remarkably poised, with silken texture, fine-grained tannins, and a core of pure, ripe red fruit that balances power with elegance. Exceptionally long and refined on the finish, with a signature sense of purity and perfume that underscores its age-worthiness.
Billaud-Simon 2016 Chablis Gc Bougros
The nose is greeted by an enticing bouquet of delicate white flowers, intertwined with subtle notes of citrus blossom and a hint of honeysuckle. Beneath this floral veil lies a mineral core, evocative of wet stones after a summer rain, complemented by whispers of flint and sea breeze, a signature of the Chablis terroir.
Bougros is located on the right bank of the Serein River, in the north west corner of the Grand Cru slope, which flows through the Chablis region. It has a remarkable south east exposure and the steepest slope of all the Chablis Grand Crus.
Vilacetinho 2016 Vinho Verde Red Escolha
Rustic and deeply coloured, this is a classic northern Portuguese red with a wild, youthful edge. Brambly raspberry, sour cherry and a hint of violet lead into a palate that is fresh yet firmly structured, with notably grippy tannins and a lightly spritzy lift. A raw, thirst-quenching red best served with a slight chill, finishing savoury and mouthwatering.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Badarina
A beautifully evolved Barolo with complex aromatics of dried cherry, red currant, and rose petal layered with tar, tobacco, leather, and sweet spice. The palate is refined and expressive, showing fully integrated tannins, lifted acidity, and a core of mature Nebbiolo fruit that now leans into savoury, earthy depth rather than primary intensity. Long and harmonious on the finish, with lingering notes of orange peel, dried herbs, and mineral nuance that speak to both site and vintage character.
Reverdito 2016 Barolo Bricco
A structured and aromatic expression of Nebbiolo, showing lifted notes of red cherry, rose petal, and wild strawberry layered with licorice, tar, and subtle dried herbs. The palate is firm and linear, with fine but assertive tannins supporting a core of pure red fruit and savoury mineral drive. Classic and age-worthy in style, finishing long and focused with floral lift and earthy persistence.
