Rivolta Aglianico Del Taburno 2017
$47.99
100% Aglianico. “Outstanding example of what the Aglianico variety can deliver in the right hands. Ripe red cherry, orange peel and sweet herb aromas. Then rich, fresh and perfumed in the mouth, displaying outstanding cut and clarity to the vibrant red berry and blue fruit flavors. Finishes with a dusting of minerals and botanical herbs. Still very young and will age well.”

Chateau Peyrabon Haut Medoc 2019
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, 4% Petit Verdot
91 points Decanter: “A touch of exotic spice, sweet cinnamon, white pepper, raisins, dried fruit and red cherries. This has a lovely, dense and chewy texture with bright red fruit flavours such as raspberries, strawberries and red cherries. Fruit-forward and confident. Acidity keeps things lifted and fresh, and this has an appealing brightness, even a touch too bright at this point - the acidity and fruit need more time to integrate.”
La Gabinele Belandes Minervois 2015
Grenache 40 %, Syrah 60 %
An incredibly expressive bouquet: peony, violet, white pepper, cocoa, eucalyptus and star anise. An impressive palate from the outset with powerful flavour. The body is vibrant, unctuous and sensual leading to a mineral and acid driven finish. With its power and juiciness, Bélandes goes perfectly with braised lamb, roasted rabbit or roast duck.
Puygueraud Francs Cotes de Bordeaux 2018
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Puygueraud (85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec) sings of kirsch, redcurrant jelly and blackberry preserves with hints of baked plums, black truffles and tapenade. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bags of energetic red and black berry layers, supported by plush tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and lifted. - Wine Advocate
Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
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.
Mas Gabinele Faugeres 2017
Syrah 40 %, Grenache 30 %, Carignan 30%
Lovely deep red colour, dark even. Black fruit nose, almost all black fruits: cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant, cooked blueberry and damsons. Toasted spelt loaf aromas, Havana cigar and cocoa beans (crushed naturally). Full-bodied mouth-feel, firm and already nicely integrated despite the powerful tannins. Serve with risotto with porcini mushrooms.
Cote Montpezat Castillon 2018
89-91 Pts, Robert Parker: Composed of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cuvée Compostelle gives up stewed plums, baked black cherries and spice box notes with chocolate and tilled soil hints. The palate is full and packed with black fruits, with a plush texture and spicy finish.
