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.

VOUGEOT 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots Domaine Christian Clerget 2019

Fine medium purple, perhaps a fraction more volatile here. Justine tells me that this is typical of the vineyard. Excellent intensity of energetic light raspberry fruit, then some more tannins behind. Intense fresh cherries too, but the wine is sturdier and less graceful than the Chambolles. Tasted: November 2020 3/5 stars
