Elegantly structured and absolutely delicious, the smooth palate delivers juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, star anise and hints of saline framed in taut, lithe tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it bright and balanced. It’s already fantastic but will also age beautifully.In Bond€712.00 -

The 2021 Barolo Margheria is all class. Dark cherry, sage, lavender, menthol, licorice and blood orange endow the 2021 with tons of character. Powerful yet refined, the 2021 is one of the best versions of this wine I have tasted. Clean mineral notes extend the gorgeous, resonant finish.In Bond€299.00 -

The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a surprisingly understated wine. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, sage, menthol and licorice lend notable aromatic breadth before a kick of Serralunga tannin appears on the mid-palate and finish. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo packs plenty of punch. Give it a year or two to settle down.In Bond€218.00 -

The 2008 Barolo Vigna Rionda possesses striking inner perfume and sweetness as it wraps around the palate. Raspberries, hard candy, flowers, mint and sweet spices are some of the many notes that flow from this effortless, sensual Barolo. Silky tannins are present, but they are nearly covered by the pure sensuality of the fruit. Today the Rionda is supple, sweet and totally inviting. The finish is intense and totally haunting. This is an exceptional, hugely promising Barolo from Giampaolo Pira. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.In Bond€636.00 -

The 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Il Grigio di San Felice is an extrovert. A blast of dark fruit, leather, incense, scorched earth, tobacco and dried flowers conveys virile intensity right out of the gate. In my mind, the two Il Grigios (Riserva and Gran Selezione) are not that different. The Gran Selezione was aged in 70% cask and 30% 500-litre French oak barrels.In Bond€191.00
