Château Monbousquet 2020
Monbousquet’s terroir is truly exceptional, with mostly warm, deep gravel to the south and sandy-clay soils to the north. As at Cheval Blanc and Figeac its soils are largely gravel, and thus warm, so relatively late-ripening Cabernets can ripen perfectly. This natural feature accounts for the particularly large proportion of these grapes in the vineyard’s composition.
Familia Nin-Ortiz, Priorat Planetes De Nin 2016
Família Nin Ortiz are among Priorat's quieter obsessives - working tiny parcels of old-vine Grenache and Carignan on the region's famous llicorella schist, and doing very little else besides letting the land speak. Planetes de Nin is their entry point into that conversation, but don't be misled by the positioning: this is a serious, structured red with real depth and an almost iron-willed grip that is pure Priorat. Think dark fruit pressed hard against volcanic rock, with dried wild herbs and a finish that seems to drag slate along with it. The 2016 vintage in Priorat was one of the more balanced in recent memory - enough warmth for ripeness, enough freshness to keep the wine from tipping into excess.
