Pio Cesare, Vermouth di Torino NV – R 745
'A popular product in Italy and abroad, the Pio Cesare NV Vermouth di Torino opens to a dark copper or amber color. This is a fun and genuine expression, with candied almond, maple syrup, orange peel and medicinal herb. The blend of grapes at the bottom of this Vermouth is Chardonnay and Moscato, and you only just catch a fleeting glimpse of the floral aromas associated with the latter. This is a fun bottle for a creative mixologist. You might notice exotic hints of exotic spice or toasted cumin seed. 2021-2035.' – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 93/100
Produttori, del Barbaresco Barbaresco 2018 – R 670
‘We all know when Produttori del Barbaresco decide not to bottle all their great nine grower crus, the resulting wines are all blended into the Barbaresco DOCG normale cuvee. 2018 is just such a vintage and sure enough, eager collectors have been waiting for this super charged Nebbiolo release. On initial examination, the wine shows the most pretty, lifted, inviting aromatics of dried rose petals, crushed coriander, tart red cherries, salty blueberries and a seductive red liquorice complexity. On the palate, there is an attractive translucent purity and silky filigree tannins that combine with a suave, lithe, harmonious concentration of red cherry candied fruits, touches of tar, saline cassis, sloe berries and a finish that typifies true, pure classical Nebbiolo fruit. While the seductive allure of the perfumed aromatics currently outpace the slightly backwardness of the palate fruit density and structure, all the signs in the glass point to another extremely fine and supremely attractive Barbaresco release. Drink from 2022 to 2034+.’ – Greg Sherwood MW, 94/100
GD Vajra Langhe Nebbiolo 2021 – R 350
'Seductive with over notes of dark, brooding fruit. The palate is full of ripe cherry, bell pepper and warm spice. Mouthwatering acidity with delicate, integrated tannins. Long on the finish. 2023 - 2030.' – Dirceu Vianna Junior MW, Decanter, 91/100
