Brunello di Montalcino, Le Gode 2019
"A true Grand Cru of the region, with its own unique soils of rock, mineral-rich marls, loam, quartz, shale and limestone" according to Vinous' Eric Guido, the treasures of Montosoli are the crème de la crème of Montalcino, often with Grand Cru prices to boot. One producer whose wines remain commendably affordable whilst still transmitting the lofty heights of this hallowed terroir directly onto the palate is superstar Le Gode. Single vineyard Brunello from Montosoli, with great scores and write ups, these are well-worth a look.
Penfolds, Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 2023
Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz 2023 is a refined, cool-climate expression shaped by Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils. Aromatically it leans savoury and fresh, with red berries, cranberry and wild strawberry layered with pepper, olive, charcuterie and subtle herbal notes. The palate is medium-bodied and poised, showing juicy red and dark fruit, peppery spice and a gently earthy edge, all framed by fine, chalky tannins and bright acidity. Elegant rather than powerful, it’s a classic Bin 128 — balanced, precise and already drinking well, with the structure to age gracefully.
