BARBARESCO Vie Erte Cigliuti 2022
The 2022 Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Vie Erte is impeccable. I especially admire its mid-palate richness, something that is not always found here. Red fruit, blood orange, star anise and floral overtones lend striking beauty along with a palpable feeling of exoticism. Best of all, the 2022 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring if given some air. This is a very classy wine.
SHAY’S FLAT CABERNET SAUVIGNON Landsborough Joshua Cooper 2021
Joshua Cooper is a producer whose wines I buy in my spare time and drink when I'm not working. The wines are detailed and interesting, and that's something I really value, along with distinction, specificity, place and identity. So, the 2021 Shay's Flat Cabernet Sauvignon leads with a leafy, cassis-riddled nose, which is brambly and spiced, with lotus leaf/humidor (to quote a friend), star anise, mountain herbs, coal dust, salted licorice, ash/embers and blackberries. In the mouth, the tannins are svelte and streamlined—they shape the fruit but it's an invisible caress—and their finesse is like finely milled powder. While tasting, the rockiness of the place evokes earth and minerals in the mind. The cool part about this wine is its austerity of line and structure: it packs flavor and complexity and freshness into a fine-boned package. It's awesome. Thrilling, actually.
