Agrapart l'Avizoise Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru Extra Brut 04
"The NV (2004) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru L'Avizoise is another explosive, full-bodied
wine bursting at the seams with fruit. This, too, shows wonderful shades of dimension in a style
that deftly balances exuberance with cool, reserved minerality. Agrapart crafts the Avizoise from
two parcels of 50-year-old vines in the lieu-dits of Les Robarts and La Voie d'Epernay. Fermentation
took place in 600-liter neutral oak barrels and dosage was 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January,
2010." 93 POINTS, ANTONIO GALLONI, THE WINE ADVOCATE, DEC 2010

Albino Rocca Duemilasette Barbaresco 07
This wine comes from a south facing, single vineyard in a cru called Montersino. All of the Rocca's three Barbaresco wines are single cru wines. This could be released under the single cru name - Montersino - and one day it surely will be. For the moment the Roccas name it simply with the vintage: Duemilasette. The altitude here is 310 metres and the soil a mix of clay and limestone. It's 100% Nebbiolo of course, from an outstanding vintage, and matured exclusively in large, 20 hectolitre Botti for two years. The resulting wine is a wonderfully elegant, silky textured, remarkably open example of Barbaresco with dark chocolate and ripe cherry fruit and plenty of fine tannins on the long sappy close. Gorgeous juice and an absolute steal at this price. 900 cases produced.
"A smooth, charming red, yet with the unmistakable licorice, tar and cherry flavors of Nebbiolo. This is round, featuring a hint of oak spice and tannins embedded in its ample flesh. The finish is long, unfolding gracefully, with licorice and spice. Best from 2012 through 2025."

Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat 08
This is a great entry point to the fine wines of Priorat. Having the typical density of fruit and plush, weighty mouthfeel of the style. The only thing it is lacking of its big brothers is the long term age worthiness, but that just means you can enjoy it now.

Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita 04
l'Ermita is one of the Icon wines of Spain. From the hills of Priorat, this shows the region style perfectly - rich and powerful but with the structure and underlying minerality to balance it all out. While the ines look great young, they certainly benefit from time in the bottle.
