“La Court” is a stunner of a Barbera! The nose is full of dark black fruits, sweet baking spices, mint and dried herbs. The wine's structure is beautiful with fine tannins and vibrant acidity around a core of dark cherries and blackberries. This is a Barbera for your cellar

Flowers, crushed rocks, smoke, licorice, cherry blossoms and dark red pit fruits are all over the nose and palate here. On the palate, the wine is even better due to all of its silky-textured, seductive, fresh, ripe, mineral-driven fruits. There is length, complexity and freshness with a finish that leaves you wanting more. This is one of the best values in Bordeaux . It is a purchase by the case wine that you can enjoy for 15 or more years with ease. This is probably the best vintage of Dalem I have ever tasted! Drink from 2022-2037.

Erbaluna has crafted an interesting aromatic wine that shows sweet jammy fruit, licorice and violets. It still seems young, and has the structure to benefit from a few more years of bottle age, but it drinks well now.

This wine has a good structure, firmly sustaining the black fruits and juiciness. A mineral edge gives a fine texture.

Subtle aromas of sunbaked earth, ripe berry and camphor take shape in the glass along with a floral note. The elegant palate is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, offering tart red cherry, ground clove and a hint of mocha alongside polished tannins.

This is a well-structured spicy wine with fresh acidity and lots of fruit. It opens with aromas of meaty red fruit, green bell pepper and peppercorn. Chalky tannins support similar notes of spices and herbs on the palate. A core of plum and blackberry adds to its complexity. It finishes with sweet notes of fruit and tobacco.

Intense and captivating, amiable in the scents of wet red flowers, blue prunes, blueberry juice and sweet caramel. The secondary scene is radiant thanks to the synchronous presence of geraniums, rose petals and star of anise. Medium bodied, fine grained tannins perfectly integrated, a slim finale which excites in the graceful, luminous closing.

Strong ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Fresh blackberries, wild blackberries, some leather and herbs, delicately underlaid with liquorice. Juicy, elegant, fine roasted caramel and sweet cherries, nougat on the finish, good freshness, shows length and ageing potential.

This wine is both weighty and stylish. Its power comes from luscious black fruits that are juicy and powerful. Expect this wine to age well and drink from 2024. Roger Voss
