Corton Grand Cru, Jane Eyre, (Magnum) 2023
The 2023 vintage at Jane Eyre Wines continues the tradition of producing refined and expressive wines with hallmark precision. Like 2022, 2023 was shaped by a warm growing season, but with the significant difference of ample rainfall when needed, keeping the soils well-nourished. The reds display lovely perfume, aromatics, and depth—qualities Jane prioritises in her Pinot Noirs—while the whites, after a slower start, have blossomed into vibrant, expressive examples of the vintage. "A standout, made from two exceptional parcels, this wine showcases a deep nose of morello cherries and violets. The palate is rich yet fresh, with harmonious red and blue fruit, fine tannins, and a savoury finish. Whole-bunch fermentation (70%) lends complexity, while no new oak keeps the focus on pure fruit expression." Our note Jane’s use of whole-cluster fermentation increased in 2023, coupled with colder soaks at the start of fermentation. This approach has resulted in wines with richer colours and enhanced complexity. While the vintage is already showing expressive youthful charm, it also holds great potential for aging, making 2023 both approachable and collectible. The wines evolve quickly, offering fresh insights with each tasting.
Tenuta San Leonardo, San Leonardo, - 3L (Jeroboam) 2020
For fifteen years, we have unapologetically beaten the drum for San Leonardo, and it’s fantastic to see its critical acclaim and global recognition growing year after year. Jancis Robinson describes it as “ Surely the most successful Bordeaux blend of Northern Italy ”, a wine of “ astoundingly consistent quality… beautifully low-key and like the most refined red Bordeaux imaginable. ” The 2020 release continues this extraordinary lineage, following in the footsteps of the back-to-back 98-point 2018 and 2019 vintages, and has just been crowned 'Red Wine of the Year 2026' by The Essential Guide to Italian Wines (DoctorWine), with founder Daniele Cernilli praising its “ unquestionable finesse and elegance ” and consistency stretching back to the first vintage in 1982 (what a year to start!). "The latest vintage is a remarkable wine, fine-boned, pure and detailed, with herbal fruit, filigree tannins and the estate’s signature vein of spicy acidity. The nose is pure and herbaceous-led, rosehips, hawthorn, and wild mountain herbs from the carménère lead the aromatics, supported by classic Cabernet lead pencil, cedar and forest berries and spicier Merlot red plums. The palate is sapid and fresh, with crystalline blue and red fruits, capturing a floral purity, that progress in a linear fashion to the savoury, saline, dry spice-inflected finish. Carrying just 12.5% alcohol, this mid-weight charmer reinforces San Leonardo’s deserved reputation for paying homage to classic Bordeaux, focussed on energy and elegance." Tom Harrow
