La Fleur de Boüard |
Lalande-de-Pomerol |
Sweet-berry aromas with hints of chocolate and hazelnut follow through to a medium body with firm, fine tannins and a juicy, polished and fruity finish. Nicely integrated all the way through. Try after 2024. |

La Fleur de Boüard |
Lalande-de-Pomerol |
Always one of the gems in a vintage, the 2018 Château La Fleur De Boüard is a no-brainer purchase and has a ripe, medium to full-bodied, sexy style that carries lots of sweet cassis, spicy oak, flowers, and scorched earth-like aromas and flavors. With plenty of fruit, notable freshness and purity, and the vintage's elegant, seamless style front and center, it's already hard to resist, yet it will integrate its oak over the coming 3-4 years and shine over the following decade or more. |

La Fiorita |
Brunello di Montalcino 'Fiore di NO' |
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Fiore di NO opens with a rich blend of plum and cherry sauce, grilled herbs and cocoa. This displays velvety textures while maintaining a lovely freshness within. A wave of ripe red and black fruits flows across the palate, giving way to a staining of saline minerals. A bump of residual acidity keeps the mouth watering, even as grippy tannins penetrate deeply, leaving hints of dark, dark chocolate and cloves to fade slowly. The Fiore di NO is a large-scale and powerful Brunello, yet it maintains a fantastic balance. |
