CARO Bodegas Caro 2021

Intense ruby red colour, offering restrained and savoury flavours with balanced spice, liqourice, graphite and blackberry. This is a consistently good quality Malbec with a shot of Cabernet adding structure and tannins, and is full of pleasure in this slightly cooler-than-usual Argentinian vintage. First time sold through the wider negociant system of The Place, rather than as an exclusivity. Oliver Tregoat winemaker, director Philipe Rolet.

POMMARD 1er Cru Charmots Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2017

More subtle but not invisible wood frames the fresh, airy and distinctly cool aromas of violet, dark raspberry and a hint of forest floor. The bright, intense and energetic middle weight flavors once again terminate in a lingering if mildly dry finish that is again difficult to predict whether it will successfully age out. My projected range does offer the benefit of the doubt but know that the dryness dissipating is not a certainty.
