TASTING NOTES

Le Serre Nuove dell’ Ornellaia 2016 benefits again from an exceptional vintage that highlights all the features ofBolgheri’s exceptional climate. Dark in colour, the wine shows a charming nose of perfectly ripe red fruit and spices. Thepalate is rich and well-rounded with beautiful velvety-textured tannins that coat the palate. A wine that combinesimmediate pleasure and great ageing capacity. Axel Heinz

TASTING NOTES

Bright, smoky red and black fruit provides a subtle floral lift. The palate is very fine, with a lovely velvety grip and fresh mouth-watering acidity. Dark wild fruits and a hint of liquorice spice on the palate show lovely density and richness before the long, supple finish. Drink from 2022.Armit Wines

This was made with 20% new oak which blends very nicely with pure fruit on the nose. Even at this level we have a wine that is really mouth filling and excellent length, this textbook Kumeu Chardonnay is delicious!Armit Wines

Lovely nose, a mixture of red and dark forest fruit.  The palate shows excellent concentration and a touch of sweetness, very good concentration, mouth-filling and long.  Drink from 2020.Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES

The spicy and earthy nose on this sprightly bottling from the iconic vineyard is superb: pressed mulberry, beet and rhubarb aromas lifted by thyme, star anise and bay leaf. The palate is slightly mellower, with rounded pomegranate and cherry notes cut by pine needle-like spice.

TASTING NOTES

Good power, pure, fresh, direct fruit with a spicy edge. High, fragrant notes, well balanced, enticing and serious for its level. Really very good.

TASTING NOTES

Vina Ardanza’s 2005 Reserva is a complex wine that is already showing so many of the wonderful qualities we have come to expect from this classic Rioja. Masses of dark fruit, with measures of dried berries and cherries wrapped up in a silky smooth coat of herbs, spice, smoke and leather. The palate lives up to the hype from the...
