2015 Poggio Antico, Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva 6x75cl
“The Poggio Antico 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with 9,000 bottles going to market in January 2021) is a thickly textured and rich wine with fruit-driven flavors and extra fiber. The wine... sings with the characteristics of this vintage that will be remembered for the sunshine, the warmth and the picture-perfect fruit. Each cluster hung from the vine with glorious perfection. There is more warmth and dark plum intensity here for sure, and you also get greater latitude in terms of those savory tones of leather, tobacco and tilled earth. The Riserva is sourced from the Il Vignone site at a high 500 meters above sea level where summer breezes keep the grapes healthy and ripe.”

2021 Kanonkop, Paul Sauer, Stellenbosch 6x75cl
"A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 13% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Paul Sauer is beautifully intense and utterly seductive, the aromatics pulling you in with their perfumed notes of... incense, violets, black currant, saline oyster shell, black cherry, sweet cherry tobacco and graphite with subtle blueberry notes and a subtle kiss of sweet cedar and vanilla pod spice. The palate shows sprawling breadth and depth with a gentle picante spice together with a noticeably intense salinity and maritime, nori seaweed nuance before more bold flavours of black currant, mulberry, black cherry and blueberry coat the mouth. The fine silky tannins are deceptively taut and crisp with the fresh glassy acids adding to the wine’s obvious power, focus and superb intensity. So much wine in the glass, so much to assimilate! The 2021 Paul Sauer represents a true Cape Bordeaux blend masterclass once again from Abrie Beeslaar!"

2022 Domaine Christian Clerget, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Charmes 6x75cl
“The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Les Charmes 1er Cru, which contains 40% whole-bunches, has a well-defined bouquet of crisp red berry fruit, crushed stone and wilted rose petals. The palate is... medium-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, silky-smooth texture and a precise, fine-boned finish. This is a very well-crafted Chambolle.”

2016 Raats, MR Mvemve Raats Compostella, Stellenbosch 6x75cl
“The 2016 MR de Compostella, which was elevated by a small block of Cabernet Sauvignon called "Faure" during blending, represents just one-third of the usual production. It has a relatively strict... bouquet with blackberry, briar, clove and white pepper, more classical in style — needs more time. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and superb structure, judiciously spiced with a very Médoc-like, black-pepper- and tobacco-tinged finish that lingers beautifully. Outstanding.”

2023 Frederic Esmonin, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Ruchottes Chambertin 12x75cl
“A powerful yet finely detailed Grand Cru, opening with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and blackberry, alongside violet, spice and subtle woodland notes. The palate combines generous fruit... concentration with a firm, structured tannic backbone, balanced by the freshness and definition of the 2023 vintage. Beneath the ripe fruit lie mineral and savoury nuances, building towards a long, persistent finish. A wine of considerable depth and structure that should benefit from several years in the cellar.”

2023 Georges Lignier et Fils, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Clos des Ormes 6x75cl
“A classic expression of Morey-Saint-Denis, combining fresh red cherry and raspberry with darker berry fruit, floral notes and a savoury hint of forest floor. The 2023 vintage's supple fruit and... attractive approachability should complement the structure and mineral character associated with Clos des Ormes. The palate is likely to offer a pleasing balance of ripe fruit, freshness and fine tannins, with an earthy, persistent finish. A promising Premier Cru for medium-term cellaring.”

The palate combines concentrated fruit with a firm,... finely textured framework of tannins. There is both freshness and depth, with the flavours broadening through the finish to reveal savoury and mineral nuances. A serious, ageworthy Échézeaux that should gain complexity with further bottle development.”

There is real depth here, but also an attractive sense of precision, leading to a long, savoury finish. A particularly accomplished Vougeot with the structure to reward patience.”

2018 Leeu Passant, Dry Red Wine, Franschhoek 6x75cl
“A sophisticated Cape red blend, marrying ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum with cedar, tobacco, graphite and savoury spice. The fruit is concentrated without losing definition, while careful... oak maturation adds texture and complexity. A broad, structured palate is supported by fresh acidity and fine, persistent tannins, with a long finish combining dark fruit and earthy nuances. A serious, ageworthy red that brings together the richness of the Cape with a more restrained, Bordeaux-inspired style.”

2018 Leeu Passant Old Vines Basson Cinsault, Wellington 6x75cl
“Unusually structured and concentrated Cinsault, with stony mineral notes, lavender, potpourri, bramble fruit and fynbos. The palate is tightly packed yet surprisingly light on its feet, showing... cranberry, red cherry and wild strawberry, supported by exceptionally fine, silky tannins. This is a wine with remarkable longevity, suggesting it can develop over decades.”

“From Aux Fourches, les Vermots and Les Gollardes. Bottled two weeks ago, 30% whole bunch vinification. Mid crimson, savoury red fruit, savoury in a good clean way, with a Nordic strictness, fine length. Quite different yet equally good.”

2022 Domaine Christian Clerget, Chambolle-Musigny 6x75cl
“A charming, expressive Chambolle-Musigny, with ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry supported by rose petal, violet and a touch of sweet spice. The generous 2022 vintage brings appealing... flesh and a supple texture, while the wine retains the floral lift and freshness that make Chambolle so distinctive. Fine tannins and lively acidity provide balance, carrying the bright fruit through to an elegant, persistent finish. Enjoyable for its youthful charm, with further complexity to come.”

The cooler 2021 vintage lends the wine a particularly... fresh, fine-boned character, while the palate offers supple fruit, a silky texture and gentle, savoury tannins.

Elegant rather than overtly powerful, with a finely judged finish and the potential to develop attractive savoury and spice notes in bottle.” Mr Wheeler

A characterful, old-vine Nuits-Saint-Georges, combining dark cherry, ripe raspberry and plum with notes of undergrowth, spice and a distinctly earthy undertone. The warm 2020 vintage lends the fruit... considerable depth and ripeness, while the appellation's natural structure provides a firm backbone of tannin and acidity. Expect a concentrated, savoury Burgundy with good persistence and the potential to develop greater complexity with age.

2002 Domaine Fourrier, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Cherbaudes Vieille Vigne 12x75cl
Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Cherbaudes 2002 is a medium-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Premier Cru climat of Cherbaudes in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation of the Côte de Nuits. Founded... in the 1850s, Domaine Fourrier is a prestigious wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits. The estate is currently led by Jean-Marie Fourrier, the fifth-generation owner who took over the 10-hectare property from his father in the mid-1990s at the tender age of 23. On the 2002 Cherbaudes. "Fairly strong reduction makes the nose very difficult to read. The flavours though are considerably finer than the previous Gevrey villages wines with excellent precision and impressive complexity, sappiness and a dusty, mouth coating, palate staining finish. Given how fleshy and generous the flavours are, it’s remarkable how precise this is."

"Impressively weighted and oaky, the 2021 The 1947 Chenin Blanc is expressive with notes of wax melon and elegant citrus blossom essence that waft with white peach and nectarine notes. Medium to... full-bodied, brown baking spices sway across the mid-palate with almond and lemon pastry cream flavors. It has an elegant mouthfeel, power, precision and a riper and fuller expression that compounds over the long and expressive finish. Put this on your shopping list if you enjoy oak-driven Chardonnay with elegance and finesse. This is an elegant and seductive Chenin Blanc. Bravo." Drink 2023-2034

2023 Clos des Lunes, Lune d’Argent, Bordeaux 6x75cl
"The 2023 Lune d'Argent was picked from August 28 to September 21 over several passes through the vines. It comprises 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. The Lune d'Argent has an open nose, a... little lighter than expected, though it gains intensity with aeration. Scents of Golden Delicious apple and light grass clippings emerge from the glass. The palate is nicely balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and sapid, presenting a lovely umami sensation. It has a fair bit of complexity toward the pithy finish thanks to that Semillon. Excellent." 90-92 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com
