Bright and beautiful, this harmonious version integrates mouthwatering acidity with a rich range of pureed apricot, dried raspberry and orange marmalade, with hints of praline, crystallized honey and sea salt. There's a plushness to the texture without being weighty; this is long and expressive on the finish. Furmint and Hárslevelü. Drink now through 2038. 22,779 cases made, 1,850 cases imported.

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.

There’s a purity and beauty to this that impresses you the minute you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrants and hints of gunmetal. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that coat your mouth but give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is calm but rather endless. 45% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon,10% cabernet franc and 5% petite verdot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2028.

Located in Leynes but higher up and south east, and falling into the St-Véran appellation. 40 plus year old vines. Plenty of juice here, with very good weight of white fruit, well balanced acidity and good length. Fine example. Drink from 2024-2026. Tasted Apr 2024.

Attractive nose with fresh berries with a floral lift. Good fresh berry flavours on the palate followed by a delightful long, crisp, dry finish.

The 2021 Cariad is another First Growth Bordeaux look-alike from Colgin. Darker currants, smoked tobacco, graphite, bouquet garni, and some exotic, meaty notions dominate the bouquet, and it's massively concentrated on the palate, with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, polished tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It actually has some upfront appeal due to its incredible balance and texture, yet smart money will still hide these for 5-7 years. It will have 30+ years of overall longevity.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2022 Twilight Pinot Noir slowly emerges from the glass with the most beautiful perfume of rose bud tea and dried lavender, opening out to a core of kirsch, black raspberries, and mulberries, plus hints of underbrush and iron ore. The medium to full-bodied palate is intense with mineral-laced red and black fruit flavors, supported by grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing on a persistent ferrous note.

Lastly, the 2022 Pinot Noir Twilight is one of the riper, more marine influenced wines in the lineup. Ripe red and black fruits, autumn leaves, sea breeze, and subtle baking spice notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and velvety tannins.

"Oak-aged base wines give this an architectural power, structuring the lees into scents of fresh croissant and hon-shimeji mushrooms. It’s creamy and full, with enough zesty acidity to keep the velvet texture in check. Pour it with pan-roasted fish finished with chanterelles and cream." (Reviewed 12/12)

91 Allen Meadows - Burghound

"A beautifully pure and elegant nose speaks of citrus, green apple, rose petal and a distinct vinous character. There is plenty of effervescence on the moderately refined flavors that display ample yeastiness on the delicious, complex, dry and lingering finish. This doesn't have quite the delicacy of the best of the vintage wines but this is an excellent NV Brut. This could certainly be enjoyed now but for those who enjoy aging their NV selections, this would be a fine choice as it will probably offer from 2 to 5 years of upside development potential."

A fragrant nose of mulberries, blackcurrants, cedar, dried herbs and dried spices. Full body with chewy tannins and vivid acidity. Vibrant, crunchy and fleshy with plenty of fruits and a flavorful finish. A little hot at the end. Drink from 2023.
