Brunello Di Montalcino, Valdicava 2013
Valdicava is firmly in the top echelon of Montalcino growers with more 100-point (JS) scores than any other. The Abruzzese family were one of the twenty-five founder members of the Consorzio Brunello di Montalcino in 1967 and now third and fourth generations Vincenzo and his son Pierfilippo, are ensuring that the reputation of the estate remains second to none. Robert Parker said there is " ... a strong argument can be made that Valdicava is among the top three or four Brunello di Montalcino producers " and there is no denying the cult status the winery enjoys today. 2013, from a cooler, damper year, flies under the radar but is a personal favourite for its finesse and aromatic complexity, and the fact it is only 13.5% ABV. With 98 points (JS), the vintage represents exceptional value in the range and large formats are drinking perfectly now, with their freshness preserved.
Château Pontet-Canet 2022
Est. delivery in autumn, 2026 Château Pontet-Canet stands as Pauillac's biodynamic pioneer, transforming from reliable Left Bank estate into one of Bordeaux's most compelling properties. The 2022 captures this evolution perfectly: a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot that speaks with both power and grace from their gravelly Pauillac soils. We find this vintage shows the estate's signature combination of dark fruit intensity and mineral backbone, enhanced by the biodynamic farming that has defined their approach since 2004.
