Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Fruity, chocolatey nose. Rich with bramble and blackberry fruit. Tight tannins, raised but not swingeing acidity. Long smoky finish.

Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot

Still and calm, like a landscape with long vostas that open up ahead of you

Maison Deux Montille

Rich and waxy on the nose, layered and complex on the palate, with fruit that suggests melon and pear, a hint of nuts and spice and a textural richness underscored by rigorous acidity. A very fine Meursault from the négociant off-shoot of Domaine De Montille in Volnay – both the négoce business and the domaine now run by brother and sister Etienne and Alix de Montille. 94/100

Top-notch dry Austrian Riesling, with a heady, flowery, mineral nose and a palate that is rich and honeyed, but at the same time fresh, steely and intense. Once you've tasted this, there's no doubting that Heiligenstein is one of the best places in Austria for Riesling. 93/100

Pierre Gimonnet & Fils

It's no secret that we're fans of this Côtes Blanc Chardonnay grower, but we haven't reviewed the no-added-sugar (non dosé) Extra Brut before. It's a difficult style, but Gimonnet pulls it off. This is elegant, fresh and bone-dry, but not austere, with a fine mousse, a fragrance of apples, pears and peaches and lingering, steely mineral notes. 91/100

This domaine in Morey Saint Denis now has the seventh generation in charge, and they make wine from more than 20 different Burgundy appellations. This Saint Romain begins with cinnamon and allspice-infused lemons, followed by a smooth, light-creamy texture with toasted oats and honey-roasted melon flavours on its elegant palate. The smooth texture is enhanced by nearly a year on lees, which also adds a honeyed note to the white floral and fresh citrus toast notes, coming from a modest portion of new oak maturation.

Paired with soft morinaga tofu with auberignes and stir-fried Japanese shiitake mushrooms, finished in a sizzling hot clay pot to further cook the dish with black bean sauce.
There was a lot of positive feedback for this wine, with Hansen praising its “notes of smokiness” and Barden describing it as “luxuriously rich”. Macnab-Collins added: “The acidity works well with the fattiness of the dish”. http://bit.ly/bIDbVI

"A crisp white wine from Austria that you'll absolutely adore. I fell in love with its tangerine and pink grapefruit turbo-zing, along with more lemony and floral fun. Take a sip and its refreshment powers your taste buds like dynamo. Uplifting wine with the magical touch to surf your soul to the shores of Good Mood City."

Susy Atkins, Delicious Magazine, May 2010

"For a serious splash -out (it's available by the case only), try a Barbera from one of Piedmont's famous names. Expect complex notes of tangy mulberry and blackberry with toasted nuts and a vibrant, fresh finish. Bring your very best lasagne." Susy Atkins

"...for a big feast I adore the Nebbiolo grape from Piedmont. We open a Barbaresco or Barolo (both are made with the Nebbiolo grape) and, for a real treat, it will be one from my favourite producer, Bruno Giacosa" Giuseppe Turi, Enoteca Turi, London SW15

Jane MacQuitty, The Times, February 2010

"Sardinia can make great red wine, especially from the carignan grape grown in the southwest of the island, just like this one, topped up with a 10 per cent dollop each of the Rhône’s syrah and Bordeaux’s merlot and two cabernets. What you get is an elegant red, aged for well over a year in French oak barriques, with fine, juicy, herby, red fruit flavours. Give it a few more years in the cellar and it will evolve into a gamey, spicy, mouthful. Drink now until 2015."

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"Lychee and light red fruit on the nose, as well as a slight leafiness. On the palate the acidity's most noticeable at firt, giving way to nicely grained fruit like raspberries and cherries. Lifted, juicy and gluggable, with a herbal/liquorice note in the long finish" Clinton Cawood

"A pretty fizz at a pretty price. Immediately attractive on the nose, with notes of white flowers, lemon drops and creamy peaches on the palate, this should be a shoo-in for summer drinks lists" Julie Sheppard

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"Pronounced oak on the nose with vanilla, ripe pears, cooked apple and a slight nuttiness. Full-bodied on the palate with bags of tropical fruits – mango and pineapple – with a rounded creamy texture and well-balanced finish." Henrietta Clancy

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"A biodynamic beauty that really sings from the glass with bags of varietal typicity. Green pepper, asparagus and citrus notes are followed through from nose to palate, with a juicy hit of lime acidity. Zing!" Julie Sheppard

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"This modern Bordeaux with its simple label would make a good addition to a gastropub list, thanks to its palate of brambly black fruit, spice and black pepper, held together by nicely judged tannins."

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"Floral aromas and a touch of lychees and fresh grapes on the nose. Clean and fresh on the palate with lychees and apples. A simple wine that ticks all the boxes: great with food or alone – and great value." Henrietta Clancy

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

Pale yellow in colour with notes of fruit salad and ripe pear on the nose. Lush and ripe on the palate with a rich mouthfeel and lots of stonefruit – specifically peach – and pear fruit and soft apple acidity. Long, subtle finish. Caspar Auchterlonie

Jane MacQuitty, The Times, May 2010

Long ago a road was due to bisect Paddy Borthwick’s vineyards, but, unbuilt, instead it gave its name to this leading Wairarapa winery north of Wellington and well south of Hawkes Bay. This gorgeous, 13.8 per cent alcohol, dark onion-skin-hued rosé, made from the pinot noir grape and barrel-fermented, overflows with stunning, spicy strawberry fruit.

Anthony Rose, The Independent, May 2010

On the quality side, I’ve fallen for the 2009 Quinta da Falorca Rosé, Quinta Vale des Escandinhas, Yes, a Portuguese rosé at over a tenner, but this deep-hued rosé is a lipsmackingly full-flavoured Dão number made from the touriga nacional grape that flagrantly flaunts its fragrance and body and with such panache that your mouth starts watering as soon as you lift a glassful of its deliciously dry red berry fruitiness glass to nose.

Caspar Auchterlonie, Clinton Cawood, Henrietta Clancy, Louis Villard, Stuart Peskett, Julie Sheppard Imbibe Magazine, May 2010

"An amazing vibrant pink colour ensures that cherry lollipop and strawberry syrup aromas aren’t a surprise. More serious but no less fruity on the palate, this manages to be punchy but not confected – approachableand drinkable. Also features the firts Braille we've seen on a label." Clinton Cawood
