"Baked fruit and vanilla aromas. Broad palate with plummy fruit balanced by a fresh and lively acidity." 90, Ronan Sayburn MS, James Doidge, Sarah Knowles MW, Decanter “This is an epic bottling—one of the last for winemaker Trey Fletcher before he moved to a new project. Fresh pomegranate and raspberry-leaf aromas meet with singed sage, tea leaf and raw pork...

"The 2022 Barbaresco Asili is gorgeous. Silky, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2022 is classic Asili all the way. Its translucent finesse and energy are remarkable. Today, the 2022 is a bit stern in terms of its tannins. While I don’t see the seductive fruit and inner perfume of Giacosa's best Asilis, the 2022 is still one of...

"From a parcel located just above Grand Cru Les Blanchots. Clean and mineral with notes of lemon and white flowers. Classic, saline, pure and elegant. Lovely." Armit Wines

"Blushing Nymphe is a naturally low-alcohol delight, boasting an appealing 9% ABV. Crafted from aromatic Muscat and gently pressed to preserve its vibrant freshness and expressive aromas, it offers a lively bouquet of ripe, red fruits and zesty citrus. These flavours elegantly complement its rounded palate, perfectly balanced by a bright, refreshing acidity. An ideal choice for warm summer days,...

"A classic Giacosa Falletto showing real authority: concentrated and tight showing great purity. Fresh and lifted with bright aromatics. The herbal character enlivens the sip, finishing with a touch of mint and chocolate. Tannins are perfectly integrated. Great." Armit Wines

"A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the Fattoria Le Pupille 2023 Saffredi represents a classic expression from a fresh vintage that ultimately performed far better than expected despite mid-season mildew pressure. The estate continues to refine its use of wood to emphasize brightness and fruit purity, a shift that is especially evident here. The...

" A tangy raspberry and pomegranate attack is followed by some ripe dark fruits wrapped in soft, open-knit tannins. Tenuta San Guido sources the Sangiovese for Le Difese from family friends in nearby Chianti Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina, but as a result of the widespread peronospora (downy mildew) in 2023, the percentage has dropped from 70% in 2022 to 65%...

"This a textbook, elegant style of Marlborough Pinot, with pretty aromatics of cranberry, tobacco leaf, baking spice, red plum and cherry. The palate has layered fruit, nice flow, a touch of oak, moderate tannins and good carry. Fruit is drawn from across the region, including the Southern Valleys, Awatere and the tiny southern subregion of Kekerengu Coast. Winemaker Simon Waghorn...
