Marziano Abbona |
Barolo 'Pressenda' |
Balsamic flavors of eucalyptus, juniper and mint mingle with cherry and floral notes in this lithe yet solidly built red. With air, the cherry emerges, plus strawberry, while the tannins flex a little more on the finish. Best from 2029 through 2045. |

Soave |
A very juicy style, showing bright quince aromas with wet wool and broom flowers. Vibrant and tingling on the medium-bodied palate with good weight, refreshing acidity and a grapefruit finish. Drink or hold. |

Sandro De Bruno |
Soave Classico 'Colli Scaligeri' |
A smoky and honeyed wine with aromas of ripe stone fruit and kerosene. Tingling acidity on the palate despite the delicacy, a light to medium body, a bony texture and pineapple flavors in the finish. Drink now. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva |
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is expressive in the glass, blending shavings of dark chocolate with dried black cherries, lavender and a nuance of mint. More lifted than anticipated, it mixes a core of tart red berry fruits and sour citrus under an air of violet florals. This 2020 leaves a fortified tannic wall and a twang of blackberry fruits, structured yet balanced. |

Brunello di Montalcino 'Riserva' |
The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens with a perfumed blend of rose petals, wilted violets and autumnal spice. A pretty inner sweetness complements its soft, round textures as ripe blackberry fruit swirls throughout. It tapers off with decent length, a coating of fine tannins and blackcurrant resonance. |

Boutinot |
Seguret Cotes du Rhone Villages 'Les Coteaux Schisteux' |
A solid, dense and powdery red blend of grenache and syrah. Aromas of dark berries, dried herbs, bark and dried spices follow through to a medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. Textural and serious. Drink or hold. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino |
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a rich blend of crushed blackberries and plums, complicated by mentholated herbs and stone dust. Silken and weighty yet still energetic, it offers depths of ripe red and black fruits enhanced by a bitter tinge of dark chocolate and citrus. It resonates with tension, leaving sweet tannins and a balsamic twang that pinches at the cheeks and keeps the palate salivating for more. Well done. |

Elia Palazzesi |
Collelceto Brunello di Montalcino |
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly floral and inward. Nuances of grilled herbs and crushed rocks give way to dried strawberries. It's surprisingly lifted, soft and round, with bright cherry-berry fruits guided by juicy acidity. This 2021 leaves a gentle tug of fine tannins and mineral resonances as pretty inner florals fade slowly. |

Morgon 'La Roche' |
The 2024 Morgon La Roche (formerly Corcelette) has a perfumed rose petal-tinged bouquet with wonderful transparency. The palate is very balanced—again, quite linear in style. It does not have the depth of the 2022 or 2023 on the finish but it is clean and poised. Let's see what it offers in 12 months' time. |
