Wine Safari Score: 93-94+/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A serious expression from Clos de Vougeot using 100% new French oak, is packed full of graphite and smoky limestone minerality, picante bramble berry fruits and spicey black plum.

90-93, Allen Meadows, Burghound. Tasted: Jan 10, 2024. Tasting note: Ripe and pretty aromas include those of red and dark currant with background whiffs of earth and forest floor.

91-93, Neal Martin, November 2023. The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaliots comes from a single plot below Les Poirets. It opens with crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit, dried violets and touches of incense. It just needs a little more delineation.

Since the first vintage in 2001, Helichrysum has become sought after for its liberal, focused minerality which comes from the fossils found in the vineyards and is a wine Katia affectionately refers to as their ‘gifted student’, which is reflected in the lavish care with which it’s handled.

2019 saw a cold winter with some snow, but rarely sub-zero temperatures. When spring came it gave a dry March and adequate rain in April and May.

Awaiting reviews.

Available later this year.

94 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers sweet fruit with lots of bright cherry and redcurrant. This Brunello reveals medium-rich concentration and an opulent mouthfeel with a smooth or almost creamy quality of fruit.

92 pts, Monica Larner – robertparker.com. The Fattoi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva has a dark and savory set of aromas with blackcurrant, spice, baked rye bread and toasted cumin seed. The oak is very present in this wine, and it adds to the tannins and the rather broad approach of the mouthfeel.

*All prices in bond*  88-90 pts, 3 stars, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy Brisk lively purple with a much more classy pinot bouquet. Raspberry with cherry in the background and this kicks on as it should, with a generous layer of red fruit at the back of the palate. Slightly dry finish nonetheless. Drink from 2027-2030.

*All prices in bond*  87 - 89 pts 3 stars Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy  Mid crimson red and paler at the rim. Not much bouquet. The fruit reappears on the palate, but a little astringent behind. Fairly typical village Aloxe. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted: October 2023.

93 points, James Suckling "Plenty of blue fruit and violets with some black licorice and hints of asphalt. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and linear, firm tannins that frame the wine. Very fine texture." 

These vines are located at an altitude of around 250 m at the foot of the Corton hill. The slope is gentle and faces south in Les Chagnots, and south-east in Les Chaillots and Les Vris. Vines planted on fertile, well-drained soil which encourages early ripening of the grapes.

Wine Safari Score: 93-95/100 Greg Sherwood MW. A deep dark broody expression showing all the latent power and muscle of Clos Vougeot. There are layers of dark spicy plum, bramble berry fruits and a smoky wood ember nuance before a limestone minerality.

This wine offers really exceptional value! The wine is superb and from an excellent Rioja vintage. Ready to be delivered in time for Christmas drinking!

Intense and generous red blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre, Vacqueyras is often referred to as a sibling of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with its rich black fruit and white pepper characters.

Appearance: deep garnet hue. Nose: intense and generous with notes of black fruit (black cherry and blackberry), and then spicy touches (white pepper).

96 points, Bob Campbell MW - Ranked: #1 of 30 2018 Pinot Noir from Martinborough

Seña 2019 shall be remembered as a milestone vintage of Viña Seña celebrating its 25th Anniversary with a wine of exceptional quality and promising ageing potential. Its special edition label to commemorate the silver jubilee makes it a unique collectable vintage in every sense.

Don Maximiano Founder’s Reserve represents their legacy, tradition, and continuous quest to create the best and most elegant wine based on Cabernet Sauvignon and also reflects the best of the Aconcagua Valley terroir.

96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021: "The 2019 Cepparello is super-impressive, even though it has just been bottled. Ample and creamy, with its classic sense of mid-weight structure, the 2019 has so much to offer. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red/purplish berry fruit.

Brunello is a red wine of great power and elegance, the ultimate expression of Sangiovese.

Already having scored 97 points from The Wine Independent's Susan Hulme MW, 96 points from Decanter's Aldo Fiordelli and 94+ points from Vinous's Antonio Galloni, it is clear this is a 'enticing wine worth waiting for' (DC).

"Flamboyant and Opulent" Antonio Galloni, Vinous (on the 2019). Available In Bond or Duty Paid.
