Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Colonnello 2019, 0.75L
Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont
"Extremely fascinating on the nose alternating notes of strawberries, red prunes, lavender, hibiscus, karkadè, linden blossom, lime peel and passionfruit. In the background herbaceous hints colour the matrix green. Full bodied, perfectly polymerized tannins and a warm, enveloping finale which shows volume and tension, extending in the best possible manner, leaving a great gustatory persistency. Colonnello is a vineyard in Bussia with a prevalent amount of sand. Fermented in steel and refined in large Slavic oak barrels. Better from 2026." 98, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Colonnello 2020, 0.75L
Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont
“From the heart of Bussia comes a great classic of Barolo. The wine displays an intoxicating perfume of red fruits and yellow-fleshed fruits, violet, dried cherry, watermelon and liquorice, also with a bloody hint at the back. Integrated and tight-knit between fruit and acidity, with young, muscular but velvety tannins and a slightly bitter finish due to the magnesium in the soils. (Drink between 2024-2035).” 96, Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter, Mar 2024

Aldo Conterno Langhe Nebbiolo Il Favot 2021, 0.75L
Nebbiolo from Langhe, Piedmont
“Complex nose of watermelon, cocoa, strawberry, peony and kiwi peel, the palate zesty with rustic yet malleable tannins. A magnetic sip. Grapes from young vineyards in Barolo, the must fermented in stainless steel with three to four days of post-fermentation maceration. After malolactic fermentation in wood, the wine matures for 12 months in second-fill barriques previously used for the Bussiador Chardonnay. (Drink between 2024-2034).” 94, Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter, Mar 2024

Maculan Palazzotto Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, 0.75L
Cabernet Sauvignon from Breganze, Veneto
“The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Palazzotto tempts the imagination with a darkly floral bouquet that mixes rich black cherry sauce with graphite, sage and shavings of pine. Silky smooth and supple, this finds a lovely balance through a core of tart red and black fruits and crunchy mineral tones that ride a wave of tantalizing acidity. A web of fine tannins descends on the palate as the 2020 finishes long and lightly structured, leaving a peppery herbal thrust that lingers on. This classy Cabernet Sauvignon is impossible to ignore and should drink beautifully after two to three years in the cellar.” 93, Eric Guido, Vinous, Dec 2023

Pyramid Valley Vineyards Chardonnay 'Field of Fire' 2020, 0.75L
Chardonnay from Canterbury, South Island
“The 2020 Field Of Fire Chardonnay is flinty and spiced, layered with curry leaf, tobacco, brine, preserved citrus rind and hints of crushed nuts. In the mouth, the wine is rich and undulating and saturating. The fruit is wrapped around a core of scintillating acidity—it really penetrates the palate and touches the soul. It plays a defibrillation role within the fruit. We all have different preferences in wine, but I am absolutely turned on by the fruit and acid interplay here. Thrilling. Detailed. Rich. Bunch weights can be almost double the Lion's Tooth bunches. I asked Steve Smith, MW, ‘How big is big?’ A laugh, in response, then he says, ‘Well, we get clone 95 bunches coming in sometimes at 120 grams (maximum) and Mendoza between 50- and 80-gram bunches.’ Winemaker Huw Kimsch explains, ‘The bunches are about 30% or more smaller in the Lion's Tooth Vineyard.’ The wine spent 22 months in barrel and four months in tank prior to bottling. Due to wild ferments, it struggled to get through full malolactic fermentation. This is a wonderful thing, I feel. It's an exciting drink. The pH is around three, total acidity is around eight.”

Pyramid Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir 'Earth Smoke' 2020, 0.75L
Pinot Noir from Canterbury, South Island
“The 2020 Pinot Noir Earth Smoke is a massively different wine from its stablemate Angel Flower, giving a more expansive wine that blossoms in the mouth without any sense of weight. There's elegance and sense of precision. And do you know what? It feels special. If I were tasting blind, aromatically, I'd think … sandalwood, fennel, agave and white pepper characters in abundance alongside pure cherry fruit. The finish is fresh and precise.” 96, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous

Pyramid Valley Vineyards Sauvignon + 2023, 0.75L
Sauvignon Blanc from Canterbury, South Island
“The 2023 Sauvignon+ is 100% Sauvignon Blanc this year. However, the fruit is not all Marlborough, with a small portion (7%) of North Canterbury fruit included. The result is a retrained, elegant, herbal expression with sage and chamomile characters joining delicate red apple flavors. It is textured and has an appealing phenolic character that leaves you licking your lips and contributes a reassuring structural note on the quiet finish. A little more length would elevate this further. It is quite the antithesis of what you might consider classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which means it's not just the acidity that makes this wine rather refreshing.” 92, Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, Apr 2024
