Beaune Premier Cru 'Les Avaux', Jane Eyre 2021
Jane observes that " a year in a barrel does amazing things ". The very concentrated 2020s (" like Barossa shiraz " she quips) have softened and developed brighter perfumes and elegance, and the lighter 2021s have fleshed out, increasing in intensity and are " matier " or more substantial. " They needed time to grow " which provides even more excitement for this tight and fragrant 2021 vintage. Jane draws the comparison with 2007, a lighter weight vintage which initially went under the radar but has aged extremely well and rather longer than was expected, now providing very fine and harmonious drinking across a number of domaines.
Zuccardi Aluvional Altamira 2016
A complex profile of fresh red fruit complimented by herbal and floral notes. This wine has an elegant minerality balanced with a silky palate and great structure. A complex and long finish.
