TASTING NOTES

A wine with great intensity and impressive length, it has an expressive bouquet showing green apples and spring flowers. The palate is youthful and energetic with concentrated flavours and a firm mineral structure which suggests great ageing potential. Exposed to cold winds on the Aloxe-Corton side of the hill, this wine has impressive energy and depth. Drink from 2021. Armit Wines

TASTING NOTES

The cool start to the vintage followed by high temperatures have created a wonderfully complex structure, with generous, ripe fruit, overlaid with a beguiling aromatic complexity. Pure, rich fruit character, complemented by chocolate and balsamic notes, with herbs and zest lift out of the glass. The extra few percent of Cabernet Franc provide a perfect framework of elegance and minerality...

TASTING NOTES

Very expressive nose with touches of balsamic, herbs and black fruits. The palate really fleshes out into bold cassis fruit but with a tight, tannic structure. The fruit is coulis in character, with dissolved vanilla oak notes. Lovely touches of spice, smoke, even mint shows themselves with a vital core of acidity and great length of flavour. This is a...

The 2015 vintage perfectly expresses this behavioural trait. Born during a particularly...

TASTING NOTES

This has a darker fruit character than Conteisa. Very deep and layered and in need of time to unfurl. The texture and harmony of the wine are most striking at this stage. Gossamer but very present tannins which reinforce and support the dense core of fruit. This hangs together perfectly with a great sense of progression from the concentrated fruit...

TASTING NOTES

An attractive, elegant black cherry nose, an easy-paced delivery and a gently concentrated mid-palate. While it should gain further weight in barrel, this should be accessible young as it does not have the raw tannic power of many others offering instead a gentle, classic and confident style, a solid finish and a welcome sense of restraint. 16 points

TASTING NOTES

Stunning nose of dark ripe fruits with layers of spice and violets. Harmonious and balanced on the palate, layers of rich dark fruit reveal complex notes of spice and smoke. Sensuous silky tannins and a linear mineral backbone. Seriously impressive with superb length.

TASTING NOTES

The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Madonna delle Grazie is showing a much darker and more backward bouquet, as earth tones and smoky minerals give way to woodland berries, white smoke, crushed fall leaves, worn leather, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, I’m finding soft textures with depths of dark red fruits and spice, as savory herbs and mineral...
