PORSELEINBERG SYRAH PORSELEINBERG Syrah 2022
The 2022 Porseleinberg was macerated with about 70% submerged cap and 30% pump-over. It was matured 85% in foudres and 15% in concrete vats for 12 months, then an additional six months in bottle. It presents a deep ruby color. The bouquet takes time to open in the glass, revealing blackberry and touches of cassis, crushed violets and a judicious dash of balsamic. There’s wonderful delineation, but it opens very, very slowly. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, more structured than the 2021. White-pepper-tinged red fruit mixes with subtle menthol notes on the peacock's tail of a finish. Winemaker Callie Louwe describes this as a mixture of old and recent Porseleinberg, and I can see that. It’s a spellbinding Syrah that will require five or six years in bottle, but it will certainly be worth the wait.
VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO Bossona Riserva Cantine Dei 2018
The 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona is deeply expressive. Its bouquet blends fresh mint with crushed black cherries, cinnamon and clove. The 2018 is elegant and velvety-smooth with depths of dark red fruit and spices that saturate, all offset by a tinge of sour citrus. The 2018 finishes potent with outstanding length, balanced by a bump of residual acidity and licorice. This is a classic Bossona from a not-so-classic vintage. Brava Caterina Dei.
