Brunello Di Montalcino, Patrizia Cencioni 2017
This female star-studded cast of winemakers is an admirable family-run operation that dates back to 1989 when life force of the estate, Patrizia, decided she wanted to make Brunello. What was once a deteriorating property is now a winery buzzing with life and passion. Their 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows the vintage's signature richness whilst maintaining the elegant tension that makes Sangiovese sing on these Tuscan hills. The wine opens with crushed stone minerality and dusty florals before revealing its core of sour cherries and saline-tinged red fruit. There's a pliant, plush texture that speaks to careful winemaking, structured enough for the cellar but with an energy that keeps you coming back to the glass.
Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
A structured and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon from Kanonkop, showing deep garnet colour with aromas of cedar wood, cigar box, cassis, pencil shavings, bay leaf, and a hint of paprika. The palate is intense, layered with blackcurrant, black cherry, red plums, walnuts, baking spices, creamy vanilla, and cedar wood. Silky tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, satisfying finish. Vineyard & Terroir Produced to mature gracefully, benefiting from further bottle ageing of up to 20 years. Winemaking Fermented in open top concrete fermenters at 29°C with hand punch downs every 2 hours. Malolactic fermentation completed in 50% new and 50% second-fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels for 24 months. Tasting Notes Cedar wood, cassis, black cherry, red plums, walnuts, baking spices, vanilla, silky tannins, long finish. Grape Variety Cabernet Sauvignon Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef, or mature cheeses. Awards Tim Atkin MW: 95 pts Platter: 93 pts
