Burgundy France
"Sous bois (undergrowth) and fraise de bois" says Claude, succulent and sweet-tasting fruit, lovely quality of tannins, lovely juice filled finish.

2008 PALEO Bolgheri Rosso Le Macchiole
Tuscany Italy
Le Macchiole's latest release of Paleo is a wonderfully expressive and elegant example of Cabernet Franc. This is not a wine of massive structure and new oak, rather it is vibrant and lively with... (more info)

2009 CÔTE RÔTIE La Viallière Domaine Clusel-Roch
Rhône France
Even bluer and blacker expression than the 'tradition'. Very expressive nose, and while oak is a component it is the fruit flavours which easily domainate. Lots of volume and very pure. Just lovely... (more info)

2006 POMMARD 1er Cru Clos des Épeneaux Domaine Comte Armand
Burgundy France
Benjamin said he would probably leave the young vines cuvée, harvested first, out of the final blend, so the blend is a slightly higher average vine age. As usual, the cuvées tasted apart each have... (more info)

2007 POMMARD 1er Cru Clos des Épeneaux Domaine Comte Armand
Burgundy France
Tasted after bottling, smooth and suave, more concentrated than the vintage in general (because of the early hail in the Clos had reduced the yield to a tiny 23hl/ha). Really good, silky fine tannins... (more info)

2005 SCRIO Syrah Le Macchiole
Tuscany Italy
One of the lighter vintages of Scrio Syrah, and yet still impressive with notes of mint, chocolate and dark fruit.

2009 POMMARD 1er Cru Clos des Épeneaux Domaine Comte Armand
Burgundy France
As usual this was tasted in sevaral lots. The fifty year-old vines in the top of the Clos gave a wine that has rich, dense fruit and dusky, dusty flavours. Earth and humus. A real sense of place too... (more info)

2001 CORTON CLOS DU ROI Grand Cru Domaine Chandon de Briailles
Burgundy France
Rich, it has a more classical, 'starched wing collar' style, while the fruit remains very cassis and blackberry. Still tight on the finish.

2007 MESSORIO Merlot Le Macchiole
Tuscany Italy
Tasting Messorio in its youth it is difficult not to be seduced by its intensely powerful rich, sweet fruit and new oak, all of which needs time to come together. However the 2007 is immediately striking... (more info)
