CHACRA CHARDONNAY Bodega Chacra 2022
<i>Aged for 11 months 65% in French oak barrels (15% new), 35% in amphorae. Certified biodynamic.</i> Light straw with flecks of green. Very similar in style to the Mainqué 2022 in its subtle charms, but there's more depth, creaminess and the pretty floral note has been replaced by a gentle herby character. Spices and a touch of tahini – lees savour. Silky, textural, with masses of tension and energy. More fruit on the palate – pear and peach. Finishes with a herby, spicy sapidity weaving in and out of the fruit. Long and evolving. A serious – and seriously enjoyable – wine now, but with more to come.
SAFFREDI Le Pupille 2018
The 2018 Saffredi is a regal, elegant, supremely polished wine. It may very well be the most refined Saffredi I have ever tasted. Silky in its first impression, with striking aromatic presence and exceptional balance, the 2018 is a total knock-out. Sweet red cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and cinnamon accents develop over time, but it is the wine’s overall balance and poise that are so impressive today. The 2018 is an absolutely gorgeous Saffredi. It spent 20 months in French oak barrels, about 65% new. Don’t miss it.
