The Barossa Valley growing season was also relatively mild with long dry spells. July was unusually dry, however good falls in August provided a solid foundation for the vines to thrive in spring.

To be released in May, the wine shows a quintessentially pretty taste profile with tart fruit flavors, redcurrant, tea leaf, heritage rose, crushed white pepper, licorice, nutmeg, clove and chopped mint. It opens slowly to reveal more richness and exuberance with time, becoming downright voluptuous and heady a short while later. The through line, however, remains the bright freshness and minerality of Sangiovese. Compared to the 2018 vintage (which I also loved), this vintage has more overall fruit weight and volume.

It extends over an area of 319 hectares (788 acres), of which about 130 (321 acres) are dedicated to vines. Two of the estate’s prized vineyards are on the same hillside, Tignanello and Solaia, on soils that originated from marine marlstone from the Pliocene period rich in limestone and schist. The vines enjoy hot temperatures during the day and cooler evenings throughout the growing season. The estate’s two signature wines, Solaia and Tignanello, are produced from these vineyards and have been defined by the international press as “among the most influential wines in the history of Italian viticulture”. According to Marchesi Antinori, Solaia and Tignanello are an ongoing challenge and a never-ending passion. The Tignanello estate has vineyards of indigenous Sangiovese grapes as well as some other untraditional varieties such as Cabernet Franc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fine Wine Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Magnum 150cl","offer_id":55930788807029,"sku":null,"price":399.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/Tignanello_2022_magnum_woden_case.png?v=1757601257"},{"product_id":"meursault-2022-philippe-bouzereau","title":"Meursault 2022, Philippe Bouzereau","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e£59.95\u003c\/span\u003e per bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV 13.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA delicious, forward, open Meursault.

Following a spell spent working at Tenuta San Guido with Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, creator of Sassicaia, he was inspired to see if the clay-limestone soils of his family estate could yield similar results to those achieved by his mentor. In 1978 the first Cabernet Sauvignon vines joined the Merlot and Carmenere that had long been planted and in 1982 the first vintage of the flagship San Leonardo was produced, rapidly taking its place in the pantheon of Italy’s greatest wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMerlot is planted in pebble-rich soils that were once the bed of a tributary of the Adige river, while Cabernet Sauvignon and the old vineyards of Carmenère are planted in predominantly sandy soils.

If so, they’re definitely not identical. Sancerre is often higher sited and stonier, with some dramatic hill slopes; Pouilly-Fume is a shyer appellation, lurking in the forest on more softly contoured vineyards, and often with a little more clay in its soils. You can clearly see that character in this, the first Pouilly-Fumé to feature in our Best in Show selection. If you’re looking for a ‘screaming Sauvignon’, look elsewhere: this wine is subtle, understated and compelling, almost as if you could smell the coolness of the site and the proximity of shady trees. In the mouth, it’s soft and secondary: gently and calmly fruity to begin with, all dessert-apple and quince, then with its distinctive sap and green wealth growing in the mouth, filling out those fruits and lending them dignity and completeness.

From the results of these trials would appear what we could say was the precursor of the so-called “new era” of Rioja wines. This wine is produced on a very limited scale and only in the best vintage years, in which the character of the vineyard, the soil and the variety are expressed as part of a single, harmonious whole. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and the maceration period does not exceed 12 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in small wooden vats with a capacity of 20,000 litres and the wine is then aged for 20 months in Bordeauxstyle barrels made of French oak.

Through the eyes and artistry of renowned designer and illustrator Isidro Ferrer—winner of Spain’s National Design Award (2002) and National Illustration Award (2006)—the winery will tell three major chapters of its history through graphic pieces that embody its spirit of innovation and risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, the introduction of the Bordeaux method in Rioja (the creation of the Médoc Alavés). In 1862, the Provincial Council of Álava asked Guillermo Hurtado de Amézaga, the Marqués de Riscal, to lead a new initiative: the Médoc Alavés. He hired a master winemaker who introduced the Bordeaux production method to improve the quality of local wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, in 1888, during the devastating phylloxera crisis, Juana Zavala y Guzmán took over the management of the winery following the death of her husband, Camilo Hurtado de Amézaga. Later, in 1895, Marqués de Riscal became the first non-French wine to receive the Diploma of Honour at the Bordeaux Exhibition—an exceptionally prestigious recognition at the time. Since then, a reproduction of that diploma has adorned the label of Marqués de Riscal Reserva, one of the winery’s most iconic wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, the construction of the avant-garde hotel designed by world-renowned architect Frank O. Gehry, inaugurated in 2006 in the City of Wine, located in the medieval village of Elciego. The Hotel Marqués de Riscal is an architectural gem that blends art, tradition, design, and wine tourism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn additional milestone highlighted throughout the campaign is Barón de Chirel, whose first vintage revolutionized Rioja and paved the way for what would later be known as High Expression wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Risk All campaign will unfold across multiple channels, including outdoor and media advertising, experience giveaways at the Marqués de Riscal City of Wine, and many exciting surprises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarqués de Riscal Reserva wines are basically made from grapes from Tempranillo vines planted before 1970's, grown in the best clay-limestone soils of the Rioja Alavesa. This variety withstands oak- and bottle ageing well thanks to its good balance of acidity and fine tannin. The Graciano and Mazuelo varieties, whose presence in the blend does not exceed 10%, provide crispness and a lively colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 26ºC and the maceration time is never more than 12 days. Riscal reservas spend around two years in American Oak barrels, producing a wine which corresponds to the classic Rioja style: fresh, fine, elegant and very suitable for laying down for many years. Before release for sale it spends a minimum of one year rounding off in the bottle; time enough to show how much complexity tempranillo is able to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherry-red colour with good robe.

In the tasting room, it was clear the climate had a striking impact on the wines, affecting the fruit as if to ‘cook’ them with the heat, while the sugar content remained moderate.

Unbridled summer weather arrived in spring, spurring the vines to develop rapidly and flowering to occur mid-May, three weeks earlier than usual. Rainfall and cool weather ensued. The paradoxical climate reached peak unpredictability on the eve of harvest with four scorching days followed by intense rain and a sudden drop in temperature. Harvest took place from 25th August to 3rd September 2011 with homogeneity in grape maturation and the Clos d’Ambonnay unexpectedly being harvested the day before the Clos du Mesnil. To tell the story of 2011, Pinot Noir plots’ (46%) impart beautiful structure and magnificent balance, while Chardonnay plots’ wines (37%), most affected by the heat spikes, imbue ripe and juicy fruit aromas, and Meuniers (17%) add a wonderful freshness with elegant bitters.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe striking profile of Krug 2011 comes after 12 years in the cellars, gaining in expression, harmony, and finesse. On the nose, Krug 2011 expresses refreshing summer apricots and white fruits, which give way to tangy star fruit and fresh citrus followed by mentholated, liquorice nuances with a touch of basil leaf. On the palate, it is opulent with power, roundness, and notes of fruit seemingly “cooked” by the heat of the year stewed, caramelised, dried fruits, and jam. Marzipan, barley sugar, praline, honey and hazelnut take hold with hints of smokiness, thyme and rosemary. Almost by surprise, the chiselled, lively finish lingers with mouth-watering notes of blood orange, sea salt and grapefruit zest. The music of the year 2011 performed by the small ensemble is generous yet assertive. A surprising alliance of finesse and power, the dynamic tempo of an Allegro Vivace.

The secret of Champagne is in the blend, with choice of variety and vineyards to achieve the `house style`.
