2019 Château d’Yquem 1er Cru Superieur

€ 419,00 NO VAT (private collection)

The 2019 Yquem has a flirtatious bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine developing with time. Fine purity, though not showstopping complexity. The palate is smooth and pure. Very nicely integrated oak, creamy, touches of vanilla and crème brûlée towards the finish. This is a quite gorgeous Yquem, though I am certain that given more time to open it would have merited a higher score. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Château d’Yquem 2019 is an exceptional, golden-yellow Sauternes with a complex nose of pear pie, pineapple, honey, saffron and citrus. This vintage is elegant, lively and perfectly balanced by a fresh acidity, so it never becomes “sticky”. The wine offers a long, decadent finish with notes of caramel and dried fruit.

  • Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino DOCG

    2015 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino DOCG
    € 1.512,50 NO VAT (private collection)

    The 2015 Barolo Riserva Monfortino is magical. This is the first vintage that includes fruit from Arione, so the 2015 is 80% Francia and 20% Arione. That marks a return to Monfortino as a multi-vineyard wine, which it mostly was until 1978, when the first Monfortino from Francia was made. The combination of sites works so well. I remember tasting the 2015 as separate components and seeing what exactly the Arione piece adds, and that is aromatic explosiveness, texture and breadth. Rose petal, mint, sage, tobacco and cedar lend complexity. More than anything else, though, I am blown away by how utterly delicious the 2015 is. Of course, the 2015 will be better in time, but its pedigree is plainly evident today. Roberto Conterno gave the 2015 just five years in cask, the shortest time in wood for any Monfortino in recent memory, maybe ever. Like most producers around the world, Conterno is thinking deeply about what the optimal period of time in oak is. As for the 2015, it is a flat-out stunner in every way.

  • Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia DOC

    2015 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia DOC
    € 531,00 NO VAT (private collection)

    The 2015 Sassicaia is incredibly elegant, perfumed and light on its feet. It has become even more wonderfully refined since I last tasted it. Sweet floral and spiced notes lead into a core of sweet red and purplish berry fruit. When it was younger, the 2015 was quite potent. Today, my impression is that, while the 2015 has gained some finesse, it is also starting to shut down in bottle. Wine is always a journey; the 2015 Sassicaia is a great example of that.
