La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous nose of creaming soda, nutmeg, cherry, raspberry and thyme. Plush and round in shape, with strong oak influence and some tertiary notes poking through. Aniseed, sandalwood, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet Jamon. These I suspect will become more prominent with time. Utterly idiosyncratic and a beautiful introduction to traditional Rioja.

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
$125.00The 2019 Vaillons is currently enjoying its passage in the wood. Clear pale and bright.

Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc 2019

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tinto Crianza 2019

Lavender, cola, sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and coal. Still there’s vibrancy, almost playful, amongst the weight and heft of forceful, hessian-like tannins. Balanced and long, and the overall impression is that […]
