"Superb"
2019 Roagna Barolo La Pira

The 2019 has a radiant clarity and a punchy dynamic energy that's thrilling. There's also a soaring power, gripping depth, and beautiful elegance. It's shocking how the wine manages to combine such density and verve. The spectrum of flavors is jaw-dropping - layered red fruits, game, earth, tar, herbs, spice, etc.

Mastery On Display:
2022 Lafon Meursault Clos de la Baronne

The Ethereal Mineral:
Emrich-Schönleber's (Affordable) Masterpiece

Emrich-Schönleber has long been celebrated as one of the greatest estates in Germany. In the cooler parts of the upper Nahe, they are for us one of the three unrivaled masters of dry Riesling, along with Keller and Schäfer-Fröhlich.
