Appassionata, Fortissimo 2013
Appassionata Estate started as a passion project for the acclaimed German winemaker Ernst Loosen. Driven by his lifelong love for the world’s great Pinot Noirs, Erni was drawn to Oregon nearly thirty years ago. Through numerous visits, during which he collected wines and made lasting friendships, he recognised the unique potential of the Willamette Valley. The 2013 Fortissimo is a full-bodied wine of great depth and concentration, with a long, satisfying finish. It can be enjoyed now for its youthful vigour but also has the potential to age gracefully.
La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, (Magnum) 2020
We find La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion slightly intimidating to classify. Calling it a 'second wine' feels like calling the Duke of Edinburgh a spare. This 2020 magnum delivers the power and sophistication that makes Pessac-Léognan famous, with the blackcurrant intensity and mineral backbone that earned it 96 points from James Suckling.
