“Now on the market, the Mazzei 2019 Siepi is a special achievement and a delight to taste at the exciting conclusion of this historic retrospective spanning 26 vintages. This edition of Marchesi Mazzei’s celebrated blend of Merlot and Sangiovese benefited from ideal growing conditions, with warm days and cool nights throughout the summer season. The clusters were healthy and full. The fruit is crisp and fresh, and the tannins serve to softly support the wine’s generous texture and fiber. The 2019 vintage also achieves balance with a pretty assembly of dark fruit, mineral and spice aromas.” 96 pts., Monica Larner, robertparker.com

Delivery & Storage
Delivery
We generally use specialised fine wine delivery couriers rather than standard couriers, giving a much higher level of care and accuracy in delivering fine wines safely to you. Wines can be delivered duty-paid to UK addresses upon payment of the required duty, VAT, delivery and storage charges (if applicable). Duty and VAT are as set by HMRC at the time of delivery. Delivery charges are based on number of cases to be delivered and are standard for all UK addresses except highlands and islands. Please ask for a quotation for highlands and islands, transfers to another bonded warehouse and for international transfers.
Please read our Delivery page for more details.
Storage
Mr.Wheeler’s Private Reserves offer perfect storage conditions for your fine wine until you are ready to drink or sell it. Our in-bond facilities are temperature and moisture-controlled, fully insured at replacement value, and accessible whenever you want. At Mr.Wheeler’s specialist wine storage facility in Burton-Upon-Trent, all private client reserves are marked with a unique rotation number as required by HM Revenue & Customs for bonded goods. In addition, each case of wine is clearly identifiable, confirming your ownership.

2019 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido, Toscana 6x75cl
"Mid ruby with a touch of sediment – a sample blend, rather than a finished wine, as with the last two release presentations. Quite reticent on the nose, just giving hints of what it’s got – a... flash of creamy vanilla, a scent of ripe, plummy, black fruit and some toasted tobacco. Full bodied, with mouth-coating but fine-grained tannins. Plump and velvety – Merlot making its presence felt here. Pretty good length too. This is embryonic and a little closed, but I think has plenty to give – an attractive Guidalberto that will reward cellaring." 17 pts., Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com
£150 / Case£25 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2018 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido, Toscana 6x75cl
"San Guido’s 2018 Guidalberto is soft, open-knit and inviting. Sweet dark cherry, cinnamon, licorice and new leather fill out the layers in an undeniably attractive Guidalberto that will drink... beautifully upon release. Finesse and elegance are the signatures. The 2018 is a terrific choice for drinking now, while some of the more powerful vintages of Guidalberto come together, or while waiting for its sibling, Sassicaia." 92, Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com
£160 / Case£26.67 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2020 Petrolo, Galatrona, IGT 6x75cl
"The Petrolo 2020 Galatrona is a pure expression of organic Merlot and the estate's headline wine. It was first created in 1994 when Luca Sanjust's second child, Lucia, was born. Despite the summer... heat that became a challenge for winemakers in many corners of Tuscany, Galatrona shows terrific results in 2020. The vineyard is located in a cool and thickly forested position almost exactly between Florence, Arezzo and Siena. The vintage has a classic quality with a subtle bouquet that grows in intensity as the wine opens in the glass. Aromas of cherry, toasted almond and dried mint fuel a long and very elegant finish. The oak tannins are soft and sweet, and the wine boasts long-lasting flavors."

£450 / Case£150 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2016 Buon Tempo, Brunello di Montalcino 6x75cl
"Open-knit and friendly, this cheerful Brunello leads with cherry and blackberry. Charmingly accented by flint and pepper, the palate offers lots of crunchy, fresh acidity. Smooth overall, with just... a touch of astringency showing up on the finish, it will make for delightful drinking over the next five to seven years." 90 pts., Michaela Morris, decanter.com

"Beautiful aromas of roses and other flowers, together with cherries and orange peel. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. Bright and long. Succulent and fine. Drink now. [02/05/2022]" 94 pts, James Suckling, https://www.jamessuckling.com/

£90 / Case£15 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2019 Castello di Montepo, Sassalloro Oro, IGT Toscana 6x75cl
Created to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Sassoalloro and it is produced entirely from Sangiovese Grosso BBS11 vines that are a minimum age of 15 years old. While it is drinking beautifully now, it has the potential to age for another 25 years.
£180 / Case£30 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2018 Mazzei, Chianti Classico, Fonterutoli Gran Selezione 6x75cl
A beguiling mix of Morello cherries, evolving onto richer notes of blackcurrant yet lifted by floral and spicy notes, the expressive nose is followed onto the palate by a medium-bodied,... silky-textured, balanced offering of red cherries and smoky winter spice. Structured with fruit-coated tannins and juicy acidity, there is impressive freshness given the power of the sunny 2018 vintage. Wonderful harmony here, and excellent length.
