Combining structure and elegance, this compelling wine opens with lovely aromas of crushed mint, iris, wild berries and dark spice. It's young but already delicious, featuring juicy Morello cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and ground clove set against firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2025–2037.

"The 2021 Planetes de Nin Clàssic is a blend of 46% Garnacha, 25% Garnacha Peluda and 29% full-cluster Carignan, the blend they were aiming for and achieved in 2019. The wine has peppery and spicy notes, with a very fine thread and is super elegant on the palate. It's subtle, balanced and elegant, nuanced and insinuating. The wine spent 18 months in 3,200-liter oak foudre. It follows the style of 2019 and 2020. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.2 and 5.4 grams of acidity. 14,660 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023. Drink Date: 2024 - 2034"

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans or a favorite dress that you keep in your closet for all occasions? That's the equivalent of this wine. The G.D. Vajra 2021 Barolo Albe is an enormously versatile expression of Nebbiolo, with an affordable price, that offers more value for your money than most Barolos out there. The bouquet focuses on dark berry, pressed flower and crushed stone. It offers good sharpness over broad lines. The mouthfeel is medium-plus in texture and it closes with silky, accessible tannins. Fruit comes from three cru sites: Coste di Vergne, Fossati and La Volta.

The 2019 Rosso de Veo is intense, with a burst of dried black cherries, autumnal spices and rubbed sage. This is a dark and brooding vintage for Veo, with depths of ripe red and blue fruit propelled by zesty acidity. Saline minerals saturate, and a primary concentration forms toward the close. It finishes dramatically long and tannic, yet they are round and soft contoured. Licorice and a tart cranberry concentration linger on and on. While labeled as Umbria Rosso, the Rosso de Veo could easily be a Montefalco Sagrantino, filling a happy place in the portfolio that adds a lot of value for lovers of Paolo Bea.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is lifted by the addition of aromatic Cabernet Franc, creating a red wine of depth, concentration and persistence. The intensity of flavors still offers restraint and smart structural balance. Both red and black fruits intermingle with sage, licorice, coffee grounds and a hint of caramel. Impressive persistence.

This is showing the ripe fruit of the warm 2022 vintage, coming over as quite tropical with some mango, pineapple and Sorrento lemon notes. Yet despite the ripeness the wine retains excellent freshness, in part thanks to its delicious texture: chalky, plush and chewy, with ample space to the wine in the mouth, and silky on the finish. Generous while also being mineral and fine.

An expressive and elegant Pouilly-Fume with the cassis and flinty character we associate with this appellation. Good length and harmony on the bright medium-bodied palate, but not as stony as the best examples of this appellation. Drink now.

Crafted by Patrice Moreux of the eponym estate, the 2022 Pouilly-Fumé Caillottes Corty Artisan, derived from stony, calcareous soils, reveals aromas of ripe orchard fruits, lemon oil, flowers and menthol, followed by a moderately weighted, round and supple palate with a juicy texture, elegant depth at the core and an iodine-inflected, saline and mouthwatering finish. This is a well-executed Sauvignon Blanc.

A nose of vanilla, pineapple, pear, quince and key lime evolves subtly into a palate of fresh and dried pineapple, apple, lemon and lime, where lively acid and undertones of crushed rocks and salt push back against a silken texture.

Offering a clean and bright fruit profile, the Fattoria dei Barbi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows plum, dark cherry and blackberry. The fruit presented in this vintage is fresh, velvety, nicely contoured and still tastes quite primary in nature. This bodes well for the wine's future bottle evolution. The tannins are slightly chalky but supported by rich texture. This is from a widely distributed production of 160,000 bottles that will hit the market in January 2024. Great job here.
