BARBARESCO Curra' Sottimano 2019
Released one year later than the other Barbarescos in this portfolio, the Sottimano 2019 Barbaresco Currá brings the intensity up a notch and not just in terms of dark fruit and cassis. The wine's mineral profile is more pronounced and, in careful moderation, so is the oak toast and spice delivery. There are more distinct elements here, all played forward with great intensity, that ultimately reach a place of excellent balance and endurance. Sadly, only 2,000 bottles emerged from this 1.6-hectare vineyard site in Neive.
VOLNAY 1er Cru Fremiets Domaine Comte Armand 2018
The 2018 Volnay Les Frémiets 1er Cru is very expressive on the nose with loamy notes filtering through the layers of black and red fruit. I find superb minerality here, the aromatics seem to "expand" with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very lithe and velvety smooth. Moderate depth towards the finish, this has a lovely salinity that maintains freshness all the way through. Excellent.
