Wine Reviews

A broad, stylish white, filled out with juicy star fruit, melon and baking spices. There’s a glycerol feel to the silky palate, smudged with toasty oak, smoke and honeyed richness. Supple through the dense, long finish, detailed with fennel frond, ginger and flinty mineral notes.

A distinctive, sanguine style, with serious, salty concentration and notes of soy and brown bread behind the core of plum and crushed cherry. Silky in feel, with bolts of graphite bringing definition and weight. Shows the tang of smoked meat at the end, where alder smoke plays out.

Bright verbena and citrus blossom notes lead in this moderately rich style, with grilled pineapple and spice-poached pear flavors that are sleek in feel and linger, adding toasted hazelnut and lemon peel on the vibrant finish.

A tightly wound, structured Brunello with aromas of ripe red berries, chocolate, dark spices, cedar, earth, minerals. The palate is full and firmly built, with chewy tannins and vivid acidity. This needs some time to soften. Try from 2029.

This offers red cherries, wild berries and spices on the nose, together with hints of tobacco leaves and crushed rocks. Medium- to full-bodied with compact, lightly chewy tannins and a vibrant line of acidity. Polished and structured with a tight yet persistent mineral finish. Try after 2028.
