    The nose of this Chard is loaded with floral aromas, swirling with chalky minerality, pithy lemon, and pineapple. The palate is driven by lively acid, with flavors of fresh pear, tropical citrus, white flowers, and ginger that ebb and flow through the finale. There’s great value here.

    33% Cabernet Sauvignon & 67% Merlot from the owners of Chateau Pape Clement. Vinified partly in oak barrel, partly in clay amphora, this is polished and finessed but actually more restrained than perhaps I was expecting. A serious wine, with an emphasis on tightly-knitted cassis fruits. An absolutely beautiful whoosh of juicy menthol comes in from mid palate onwards, and a tight tannic crush on the finish that suggests this is going to age well. It’s big shouldered, as all Magrez wines are, but this is a welcome addition to the St Estèphe landscape.

    The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is explosive, bright and punchy at first, evolving from cranberry to cherry with dusty sage, spiced blood orange and Tuscan dust. The is pure elegance, texturally deep and nearly velvety in feel with a core of tart wild berries that add contrast as a balsamic tinge emerges along with fine-grained tannins toward the close. It finishes long, structured and staining, leaving a flinty sensation and primary core of fruit that drenches the palate as violet inner florals and hints of lavender abound. The 2020 is seamless from start to finish and, while more approachable than a typical vintage of Il Poggione, is balanced for an extended maturation.

    Rhubarb and strawberry jam rise first, layered with fresh thyme and tarragon, a trace of black tea, and sweet baking spice. Tart red fruits lead the way, while tannins strut with confidence, adding weight without overwhelming. The finish brings crushed stone and a salty snap. Grilled lamb or slow-cooked Moroccan tagine would be perfect partners.

    Here is another knock-out bottle in this group of new releases from Fattoria le Pupille. The 2022 Poggio Valente is punchy and bright with terrific clarity of fruit. Winemaking has shifted over the years to prioritize larger oak botte. This change has allowed for more varietal expression with blue flower, heritage rose, tart cherry, rye bread and crushed stone. The wine’s flavor signature is wholly Mediterranean with hints of rosemary and lavender. The effect is especially luminous and lifted in 2022. This is an elegant wine with a unique voice.

    A Bordeaux-style blend that’s a classic for this winery, so lush, opulent and polished. Relaxed velvety tannins, blueberries, black cherries, dark chocolate, spearmint and graphite. Full-bodied, based on 73% cabernet sauvignon, with a soft but solid texture, deep fruit and a lingering finish. Drink now or hold.

    Just-ripe strawberries and black cherries, followed by blanched almonds and a touch of sandalwood. Medium-bodied with firm yet fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity. Good length and depth overall. Orange-zest aftertaste.

    Suede tannins introduce a robust flow of flavors, from espresso to tobacco leaf. Seamless, the liquid curves around the palate, with a dot of white peppered black plum.
