COMENTARIILE LUI James Suckling
-
LUCENTE 2020-Luce della Vite
A rich and flavorful red showing subtle cocoa powder, roasted spices, cassis and sweet berries. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate with fine tannins and a long, polished finish.
-
PIANROSSO BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Sweet berries and cherries on the nose, together with fresh violet and lilac notes. Full body with juicy tannins and a flavorful finish that opens on the palate. Lots of ripe cherry flavor. Tar, too. A rich and layered Pianrosso. One of the bigger, riper wines of the vintage, but still holds true.
-
CHAMPAGNE BLANC DE NOIRS EXTRA BRUT 2018-Philipponnat
Multilayered fruit profile here, with green apple, fresh strawberry and pure chalk minerality. Biscuity charcater in the background. The attack is intense, with full body, pinprick bubbles, savory charcater, vibrant and zesty, integrated acidity and a refined, lonf and powerfull finish. Just a bit warmer and riper in the aftertaste. 100% pinot noir.
-
PIEROPAN CALVARINO 2022-Pieropan
The first single-vineyard created here, in the late 18th century. More black soil than in the Soave Classico. This is very good, meshing the inherent ripeness of the vintage with a mineral-infused pungency. Green apples, quince and stone fruit. Yet the feel is linear, cool and taut, with a growing trajectory of fruit sweetness across the long, energetic finish. A pithy exclamation to close. Drink or hold.
-
CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE CUVEE RESERVEE 2023-Domaine du Pegau
This excellent white Chateauneuf combines creamy richness and citrusy freshness in a compelling way. Stacks of pomelo and grapefruit character on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, structured finish with excellent fresh sage and citrus rind complexity. A cuvee of 60% clairette, 20% grenache blanc, 10% bourboulenc and 10% roussanne. Fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel.
-
RAVENTOS I BLANC DE LA FINCA 2020-Raventos i Blanc
A broad nose with good depth, full of creamy and yeasty notes with white fruit, chalk and seashells. Intense and concentrated flavors with a medium to full body and a refined, creamy mousse that lasts to the lengthy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
-
CIACCI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2019-Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona
Sour cherries with stone and bark undertones to the aromas. Medium body, firm tannins and a long, linear finish that ends tight. But this will soften with some age. Subtle bark and dried mushroom character at the end. Drink after 2025, but already pretty.
-
CUVEE RESERVEE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE 2020-Domaine du Pegau
A layered and well-balanced Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of wild berries, dried herbs, leather, roasted meat and stones. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Lots of layers and poise with a restrained character on the palate, despite the generous nature of the vintage. Complex and velvety with lots of cherry character and dried herbs towards the finish. Funnelled and structured with great focus and length.
-
CHATEAU PEGAU CUVEE SETIER 2021-Domaine du Pegau
Lots of cherries, red berries, cola and caramel on the aromatic nose. Medium body with fine, firm tannins and bright acidity. Juicy and crunchy with a peppery edge and a flavorful, focused finish. 60% grenache, 20% syrah and 20% mourvedre. Drink or hold.
-
LANZAGA 2019-Telmo Rodriguez
Wild herbs and tangy white-pepper notes on top of the fresh-toned red and black cherries, plums and hints of citrus zest, sweet red berries and minerals. Polished, dusty tannins spread evenly across the medium-bodied palate, with juicy, vivid plums and berries. Nothing showy here, but it’s beautifully balanced and understated, showing real fruit vibrancy and harmony. Drinkable now, but will hold well, too.
-
CHATEAU TEYSSIER MONTAGNE SAINT EMILION 2018-Chateau Teyssier
So much fresh mushroom and bark with blue and black fruit in the nose. It’s full-bodied, turning tight and lightly chewy on the mid-palate. Long and racy
-
CHATEAU LUSSEAU SAINT-EMILION GRAND CRU 2019-Chateau Lusseau
A very rich red with blueberries, chocolate and hints of minerals and cedar. It’s full-to medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a savory finish. Nice combination of blue fruit and spices.
