Marchesi Antinori, La Braccesca Bramasole Syrah 2018
The Braccesca Bramasole Syrah, from Cortona, is a variety that works really well in Tuscany, in the right hands of course. We've enjoyed a few bottles of the 2018 recently and it's just gorgeous, reminiscent of a top Northern Rhone yet with a distinctive Tuscan accent. James Suckling awards 95 points and whilst the 2018 is just entering into its drinking window, we can't help but think that like a great Hermitage, this has even more to give with extended cellaring. This is an absolute beauty and comes highly recommended.
Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rouge 2023
The Mas de Daumas Gassac Rouge 2023 is a wine that reminds you why this estate has long been called 'the Lafite of the Languedoc'. It’s a beautifully composed red, elegant yet full of southern warmth, crafted from a Bordeaux-inspired blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with splashes of Syrah, Merlot, and a few Mediterranean surprises. The nose is rich with blackcurrant, wild herbs, and a touch of cedar, while the palate strikes that perfect balance between ripe fruit, freshness, and gentle spice. It’s layered, refined, and unmistakably Gassac; complex without being showy, structured yet inviting. Renowned for its Grands Vins, Mas de Daumas Gassac has been a family-owned vineyard for over 40 years, proudly belonging to the Guibert family. Nestled in a wild and enchanting valley near the magnificent Romanesque abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, the estate spans 50 hectares of deep, well-drained soil, untouched by chemical fertilisers.
