I like the savory iodine and bark notes here overlaid with black berry fruit, nutmeg and bay leaves. It’s juicy and supple with a medium to full body, silky tannins and soft, salty finish. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

The sensational NV Rivesaltes Ambre Horg D'Age 18 Ans checks in as 90% Grenache Blanc and 10% Grenache Gris that spent 18 years in barrels. It got a big “Wow” in my notes and offers layers of caramel, toasted nuts, spice and figs, with gorgeous complexity, full-bodied richness and impeccable balance between its acidity, sweetness and alcohol. This is stunning stuff!

The 2022 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico entices with a heavily spiced bouquet as cedar box and clove give way to crushed blackberries and nuances of coconut. It is silken and elegant in feel, with depths of ripe red berry fruits offset by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and citrus. The finish is gently structured and long, with a twang of blood orange that resonates.

A lovely, bright red, offering red cherries, redcurrants and dried peppercorns on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Plenty of energy here, with a precise, vibrant finish. Syrah, grenache, mourvedre and marselan. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

This Syrah and Touriga Nacional rosé, due for release in the summer, is straightforward but very well executed. Fermented in stainless steel, it offers bright strawberry supported by refreshing acidity and considerable concentration which belies its pretty, pale pink colour. Highly drinkable. 2026-2028

A nicely structured Gruner Veltliner showing notes of lemon and mandarin peel, crushed stones, coriander and white pepper spice. Excellent focus, balanced and medium-bodied, with a creamy and mineral finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Light and open. Soft and sweetish. Could do with more weight. Light bitterness on the end. (JR)

The 2014 Comtes de Champagne is pristine. In this tasting, it comes across as a mini-2008, similar in its linear personality, with just a touch more mid-palate creaminess. Readers will find a Comtes that plays in the realm of tension and energy. Citrus confit, white flowers, chalk, mint and chamomile are all finely sketched. Light tropical overtones grace the finish. What an absolute delight. The 2014 can be enjoyed now or cellared. Dosage is 9 grams per liter.

Closed in style and character like the 2013, Taittinger's 2014 Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne reveals aromas of ripe orchard fruit, confit citrus, dried flowers, herbs, spring blossoms and mirabelle mingled with customary autolytic notes. Full-bodied, seamless and enrobing, it has a delicate, elegant, fleshy core of fruit and racy acids, all enhanced by a saline, fresh and penetrating finish marked by finesse and elegance. This refined, chalky-inflected Comtes de Champagne has the potential to age gracefully over the next 30-40 years.

The 2018 Houyi Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is yet another absolute knockout from Bevan. This instantly grabs your attention with its insanely dark, inky color and striking aromatics, which are loaded with incredibally pure, ripe black cherries, boysenberries and black currants along with lead pencil, fresh dark florals, Asian spices, dark chocolate shavings and mountain sage nuances that fill the glass. This is just as sensational on the palate, with a gorgeous full body that is layered and beautifully polished. It goes on to deliver a luxurious mouthful of delicious ripe dark fruits, exotic spices, graphite and hints of dark cocoa powder which resonate all the way though the ultra-long, finish that is utterly seamless. This delivers on every level, and while it is absolutely captivating at this young age, it also has the structure to indicate a tremendous future ahead. This is a seriously impressive wine that should not be missed.

Coming from this famed rocky, red-soiled vineyard up on Pritchard Hill, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard was aged for 19 months in French oak barrels, 100% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant scents of fresh blueberries, black raspberries and warm black cherries followed by hints of cassis, wild sage and underbrush. Full-bodied, it has a firm, grainy texture supporting the muscular black fruit flavors with lots of red fruit sparks and mineral accents coming through on the persistent finish. 213 cases were made.
