JS95-96 £150.00 £180.00 “Broad and ample, the 2017 captures all of the personality of this site. Dark-fleshed fruit, spice,menthol, licorice, espresso, dried flowers and pine infuse the 2017 withmyriad layers of dimension. There is plenty of Ginestra energy and tannin, so a few years of cellaring is amust.” - ANTONIOGALLONI £225.00 £270.00 “Good full red. Clean, focused aromas and ripe flavors of strawberry, blood orange, peppery spices and underbrush. Dense, ripe and savory but virtually weightless, delivering outstanding energy, depth and inner-mouth perfume. There’s a lovely core of sweetness here, but the wine stands out today for its savoriness and youthful firmness. Finishes subtle and very long, displaying polished, suave tannins.” - IAND’AGATA WA95 1x150 CHÂTEAULÉOVILLE-POYFERRÉ,2ÈMECRUST.

WA (92-94) £229.00 £274.80 This Brunello shows a bright vibrant nose of red fruit, a lovely pure expression of Sangiovese. There arewild strawberry, mineral, meaty and herbal notes jumping from the glass and the palate reveals more generous ripe fruit with additional spice and smoke flavours.

WA92 £239.00 £286.80 “A classic expression of cool-climate Bordeaux varieties, with fresh blackberry and raspberry, complemented by peppery florals and wild herbs. Smoky minerals add even further depths. The sheer density of fruit is remarkable. Polished yet fleshy and ripe, juicy acids guide with gorgeous inner florals and mounting fine-grained tannins toward the long and youthfully structured finale.” - ERICGUIDO WA96 £239.00 £286.80 “The 2015 San Leonardo is a classic in themaking. The bouquet is wonderfully perfumedwith peppery florals, mixing tart cherry and blueberry withwhite smoke, hints of graphite and shaved cedar. Silky textures race across a core of juicy acids and minerals, making for a ripe yet cool-toned and pleasurably tactile expression. Youthful tannins slowly make themselves known toward the close. Long, structured and spicy, the 2015 finishes with a crescendo of tart blue andblack fruits, tapering off tonotes of subtly sweet spice. As goodas this is today, itwill only get better over time. That said, it doesn’t appear that this is going to shut downanytime in the immediate future, so it’s certainlyworth checking ona bottle or two before forgetting the rest in your cellar.” - ERICGUIDO VINOUS95 2016 1x300 CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE,CUVÉETRADITION,DOMAINEFONTDEMICHELLE 2016 1x300 BRUNELLODIMONTALCINO,SESTI 2017 1x300 SANLEONARDO,TENUTASANLEONARDO 2013 1x300 SANLEONARDO,TENUTASANLEONARDO 2015 1x300 REDWINES : DOUBLEMAGNUMS
