BAUER SPEIGEL GRUNER VELTLINER 2022

The Spiegel vineyard has loess in addition to gravel and river rock deposits from the old Danube river when it was wild and forming the Wagram.

BEGALI VALPOLICELLA RIPASSO 2020
There’s a lot going on: background tones of balsam herb, rosemary and black olive follow straightforward aromas of dried fruit and prune. A pretty touch of eucalyptus springs forth. The wine is incredibly light, buoyant and lively despite the elaborate Ripasso process.

CHAT. VILLARS FRONSAC 2011
89 Points Wine Advocate. 89 Points Wine Spectator. This rich and deeply textured Right Bank Bordeaux was pretty powerful and closed down right after release. Although, as you can see below, even then Robert Parker knew it was a “sleeper of the vintage” value. Nearly 10 years later, it’s taking on more complexity and de... More
