Grand Champ and Bas de Duresses. The former will disappear from 2025, along with some Bourgogne Blanc as part of the deal which has enabled the purchase of the new Meursault and Beaune Teurons vineyards. Slightly lighter and perhaps bonier than the Monthelie but still with a good concentration behind. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.

Made in the style of generations past, this is skin-contact Alvarinho with a distinctive character. Slightly deeper in colour than the other whites in the range, it shows more obvious oak influence and a gently oxidative, grainy profile. Quince, marmalade and beeswax are supported by a wonderfully textured palate, vibrant acidity and a lingering saline, savoury finish. A delicious and highly individual wine that marries tradition with modern precision. Drink 2026 - 2031

The 2023 Curtimenta is a skin-contact Alvarinho. There was an evolution of the wines from 2001 to 2009, when he reduced the time in contact with the skins (of the destemmed grapes) to find the balance, which, in this case, was 25 hours at slightly higher temperatures. The fermentation started spontaneously, and the juice finished fermenting with the full lees in 400-liter barrels, where the wine matured. It's a little more phenolic, more aromatic, round and with very fine tannin and has a dry and chalky finish. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

Floral, delicate and cheerful, while also serious, with a sharp slate mineral component. On the palate, subtle and firm, mineral and fruity, juicy and supple, weightless and with an elegant acidity, excellent length. A masterpiece.

The aromas of pie crust, dried pears and lemon curd pull you into this sleek and racy dry riesling. There’s a sturdy structure on the medium-bodied palate that gives this quite a punch and drives the crisp finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

An exquisite mix of elegant aromas dominates the nose, with notes of Parma violets, orange peel, Earl Grey tea, dried cherries, smoky woodland and earthy minerality. Full-bodied, it shows significant tannins, but it’s velvety, sweet and full of aging potential. The flavors are enhanced by energetic, slightly lifted acidity and a super-long, austere finish. It will last for decades. Try after 2025.

The Il Marroneto 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie (tasted once in the winery and again in my office) is another classical expression of Sangiovese from vintner Alessandro Mori and his son Iacopo. This vintage is best described as more charming compared to the stacked 2019 vintage or the powerful 2016 edition. This is a very pretty wine, elegant and finessed, with pretty floral highlights of rose and violet that lean into a subtle menthol note. There is caramelized sugar and candied orange. The wine lives in oak for 46 months with just a brief time in steel before going into bottle (at the end of July 2024). This vintage is a little closed or tight in terms of mouthfeel, which suggests it needs more time in bottle to spread its wings.

The undeniably elegant 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is amazingly fresh and vibrant on the nose, cascading from the glass with a burst of crushed cherries, rose petals, blood oranges and cloves. This displays exceptional elegance and grace, soothing the palate with its silken feel and ripe red and blue fruits. Hints of sour citrus add contrast, a mix of iron-borne minerals and fine tannins that mount toward the close. A saturation of primary concentration remains, offset by residual acidity as this finishes structured and impossibly long, leaving a sour cherry tinge and masses of violet pastille. The 2020 is a showboat yet complex and harmonious from start to finish. It's easily one of the absolute top wines of the vintage.

A pleasing mix of wild berries and red and black cherries with hints of cola and spices. Medium-bodied, plush and refined, showing orange black tea and a little anise in the finish. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Pinot Noir Wester Reach is a youthful rub -red hue and is more red-fruited, minty, and floral in profile, with the highest percentage of estate fruit to date. Medium-bodied, with spicy pomegranate fruit, refreshing acidity, and excellent structure, drink 2026-2038.

A gorgeous tawny with dried figs, caramel, dried raisins and coffee beans. Full-bodied, sweet and delicious. This shows such length and beauty. I love the crème caramel and cooked apple tart on the finish. Some pecan pie.

92 Wine Enthusiast

The wine is ripe and smoky, with great black fruits and tannins. It is rich, as the wine's structure supports some powerful fruits. Drink this fine wine from 2025.

The 2022 Grey GCM Rosé was produced with 70% Garnacha, 15% Cariñena and 15% Mataró or Monastrell from their La Roblería Vineyard in Apalta. It's fresh and light at 12.5% alcohol with an extremely low pH (3.06) and good acidity. It's austere, clean and fresh, balanced and bone dry. It fermented together (the bunches pressed together) and matured in untoasted oval 2,500-liter French oak foudres for six months. A rosé for food. 6,600 bottles produced.

The 2018 Xisto, released only in certain years, is a blend of 40% old vines (70 years), 30% Touriga Nacional and 30% Touriga Franca from vines planted in 1987, all aged for 20 months in 85% new French barriques. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. As gorgeous as the regular Tinto is, this is a step up, or two. It is a bit oakier but also more polished and better structured. It's easily as delicious, although the oak covers up some of that these days. This is approachable now because the tannins are very ripe, but it will be even better in a couple of years. That will allow some chance to pull in more wood. It does tighten a bit with air, so aging it can't hurt. It should age well. It has some things to prove in the cellar, but I'm leaning up today. There were 7,000 bottles produced.
