Baglio Gibellina is situated in picturesque Sicily where its vineyards are surrounded by the hills of Salemi and Santa Ninfa. U Passimiento is a blend of fresh Frapatto and dried Nero d’Avola grapes grown at high altitude in the Sicilian hills. The rich concentrated red berry fruit is balanced by a lovely freshness. The Nero d’Avola grapes are left on the vines for natural dehydration to occur, they are late harvested. The natural sweetness of the wines is obtained by interrupting the fermentation through the “cold” process. The wine is then matured for some months in steel tanks.

Finca Museum Reserva, Cigales, Spain 2014 - Mag in Card Box

The Finca Museum winery was the first project developed by the winemakers Grupo Barón de Ley (who own El Coto) outside of La Rioja. Committed to finding other top vineyards, they chose the appellation of Cigales where they could obtain a good quality/price relationship for their wines and perfectly ripened grapes thanks to the pebble covered soils here, home to vines over 70 years old. One of the few Reservas produced in Cigales, it is aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels during which time the wine is racked five times. Following this ageing, the wine stands in the bottle for 12 months before being released onto the market.

An intense and elegant red, combining the best aspects of a wise ageing process with the maximum fruity expressiveness of the Tempranillo. Toasted and roasted aromas embellish a ripe fruit which refreshes with hints of spice. It is complex and structured in the mouth, but also balanced and noble.

Izadi owns 178 hectares and sources fruit from selected growers from another 108 hectares of old vineyard with an average age of 45 years. The vines are traditionally trained bush vines, a method which Izadi believes gives better exposure of the grapes, something which in turn leads to better ripeness and softer, fuller wines.

Clos Cantenac St-Emilion Grand Cru Double Magnum
& Imperial in Wooden Gift Boxes 

An incredible right-bank Bordeaux made from 100% Merlot that was picked from two small plots, holding 17 and 27 year old vines respectively. The wine shows power and elegance beyond its years and is sure to have a great many more in it. I cant wait to see the evolution of this wine developing more pronounced savoury and gamey aromas. The only fault with this wine is that it drinks so well now that I'm not sure anyone will be able to resist the temptation of cracking it open before it has a chance to evolve.
